Science Focus

    Kia ora! Greetings! I am originally from Aotearoa-New Zealand and relocated to Chicago in 2001. My field of interest has focused on the systematics of pteridophytes and bryophytes, particularly liverworts. I am stimulated by the variety of disciplines that plant systematics has to offer including aspects of plant ecology & biogeography, conservation, reproductive biology, morphology, ultrastructure, and the use of chemical markers. I am also particularly interested in theoretical aspects relating to species concepts and biogeography and how our understanding of these relate to conservation biology and conservation management decisions. I have deep interests in collection management and digitization (databasing and digital imaging). I also have strong interests in citizen science, education outreach and the dissemination of knowledge using various forms of multimedia.- Geographical Focus: Australasia, Oceania, southern South America; Worldwide in selected taxonomic groups.

    • Plant systematics (especially liverworts), incl. biogeography, morphology, chemosystematics, cytogenetics & ecology.
    • Conservation of rare and threatened plants.
    • The use of electronic and computer technology to aid in identification and dissemination of knowledge.
    • Collection management & Digital imaging.
    • Community participation, citizen science & education outreach.
