Thrilled to share that I've received the Snodgrass Memorial Research Award from the SysEB Section of @entsocamerica.bsky.social ! 🐝 Snodgrass wrote the foundational texts on insect morphology — the bedrock of what I do (or pretend to 😅). Onward to the next chapter at the Enns Museum & Mizzou!
Happy to share that this fall I'm joining the University of Missouri as an Assistant Professor & Director of the Enns Entomology Museum (~7–8M specimens)! 🐝 A dream come true. Big shoes to fill after the iconic Robert Sites. Leaving UCF after 8 years. New adventure ahead! 🧡🌻
🪲📄 New paper out in Biodiversity Data Journal! Honored to be part of it! Darwin wasps (Ichneumonidae) from the Pantalica Nature Reserve (Sicily, Italy) — new occurrence data from a Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot. Check it out here! 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/BDJ....
Darwin wasps (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) of the Nature Reserve of Pantalica (Sicily, Italy)
The hymenopteran family Ichneumonidae (also known as Darwin wasps) represents one of the largest families of parasitoid insects. However, faunistic research is needed to fill the gaps in the knowledge...
