LARGER PROJECTS
Lucidota Project: Deploying integrative systematics to untangle Lucidota, the Gordian knot of Neotropical firefly taxonomy. Utilizing museum specimens and newly available material provided by Brazilian and Colombian collaborators to document the firefly groups across South America, discover new species, reveal their evolutionary relationships, and create tools to facilitate future research. National Science Foundation #DEB – 2323041
Lep-Net Project: Digitization of North American Lepidoptera specimens in the UGA Collection of Arthropods (UGCA). National Science Foundation Grant #DBI-1601002
