I am an Evolutionary Biologist studying host-parasite co-evolution, social evolution, and chemical communication in arthropods. So far, my main study systems have been burying beetles with their phoretic mites, Carpenter ants, and leaf-cutting ants and their social parasites. I am interested in everything, though:).
