Systematics
Research interests
Molecular systematics and evolution of invertebrates with special emphasis on mollusks. Current research focuses on the Caribbean scorched mussel, Brachidontes, biogeography, systematics and population genetics, on the conservation genetics of the Tahitian land snail genus, Partula, and on systematics and evolution of freshwater Holartic sphaeriid clams.
