Adjunct Research Associate, School of Molecular and Life Sciences, Curtin University Most of my research activities are conducted under the auspices of the Western Australian Museum. My research background is primarily taxonomic and my special area of interest is the taxonomy of ants. However, I have also published in the areas of biodiversity and insect ecology. Most of my research activities are those involved with Australian ants. Apart from my taxonomic studies, I have also frequently collaborated with academics, other researchers, mining companies and other groups and individuals. These are generally those who are involved with monitoring programs, using ants as biological indicators. My major research output has been two monographs on the ant genus Monomorium, another monograph published in 2009 on the ant fauna of south-western Australia, and a recently completed revision of the Australian ant genus Melophorus published in 2017. I also spent two years as a research fellow in San Francisco studying Monomorium from Madagascar.
