Research Interests

My primary interest is the field of crustacean studies; in particular I am interested in the problems of invasive species, such as the fairly recent introduction of Chinese mitten crabs in the Chesapeake Bay , and of crustacean and molluscan parasites and their impact on the structure of marine communities. Other topics of interest include parasite histology, bioecology of Limulus polyphemus in Delaware Bay , invertebrate field sampling, and paleobiology/evolutionary history of fossil marine invertebrates.
