Current Research Interests
Topics in the biology of microfungi
Microfungi or "molds" (or more precisely defined as fungi that will grow and exhibit at least one reproductive phenotype in culture) are ubiquitous and many have obvious and profound effects on the balance of nature and the quality of human life. My research program concerns the biology of selected groups and species of microfungi. In my lab, we are particularly interested in their detection, identification and systematics, the tactics they have evolved to maximize dispersal to specific habitats, and how their life histories are interrelated with those of plants and animals. Research is conducted in (but not limited to) the following four areas:
