Current Research Projects

• Identification and information guide to the Ticks of Canada
• Systematics, phylogeny and biogeography of world fauna of predatory mite superfamily Ascoidea
• Systematics and phylogenetics of Acari diversi.
• Systematics and phylogeny of world fauna of phytophagous, fungivorous, parasitic and predatory mites of family Tarsonemidae

Expertise

• Specialist for 45 years on world fauna of predatory mite superfamily Ascoidea, and on world fauna of phytophagous, fungivorous, parasitic and predatory mites of family Tarsonemidae.
• Long-establilshed interests in: systematics and phylogenetics of Acari diversi; homology and standardized terminology of acarine external structures; symbiotic relationships between mites, insects, nematodes, and fungi; biodiversity of targeted mite taxa in selected ecosystems.
