Research

I am principally interested in animal parasites as organisms that permeate all free-living communities.  I am particularly interested in the applied question of how parasites can be used as indicators of condition in free-living communities, as well as questions which seek to elucidate the ways that parasites operate and function in ecosystem processes.
