Research
I am a third year graduate student mainly interested in of host- parasite coevolution. I would like to answer questions regarding host manipulation by the parasite. I am also interested in the distribution of the parasite over time related to the host’s distribution. I would like to relate the geographic distribution of different parasite species that have the same host.
Study system
Potamopyrgus antipodarum, and its sterilizing trematode parasite, Microphallus
