I recently started my Ph.D. and am exploring possible avenues of research. Please check back soon for more updates!

Phylogenetic reconstruction of two subgenera of burrowing crayfish, Tubericambarus and Lacunicambarus, using molecular systematics methods and morphometrics

Picture
The goal of this project is to investigate two subgenera within the genus Cambarus, Tubericambarus and Lacunicambarus, using molecular systematics methods and morphometrics. While doing so, I will also seek to contribute to the scientific community's understanding of burrowing crayfish ecology and evolution with the aim of assessing the conservation statuses of these understudied taxa.
