PeerJ Author & Reviewer

Summary

I am broadly interested in patterns of animals evolution and how freshwater taxa respond to changing environments. My main research focus is the evolution and conservation of freshwater mollusks. However, I am also interested in marine invertebrate evolution, with much of my past research focusing on ctenophores. Much of my work also aims to understand how methods and models used to understand evolutionary processes perform on empirical data.
