Research Program
I am interested in the systematics and ecology of aquatic fungi. My current research is focused on determining monophyletic
genera in the Chytridiales (Chytridiomycetes, Chytridiomycota). This involves isolating and maintaining chytrids in pure culture, studying
developmental morphology at the light microscopic level, determining taxonomic characters from serial sections of zoospores viewed with transmission
electron microscopy, and determining and analyzing molecular characters. Also, I isolate and study Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, a chytrid
pathogen of amphibians.
