• Rectal morphology, taxonomy and phylogeny of Curculionoidea

  • Jul 2011 - Aug 2011

  Researching the rectal morphology of members of the Curculionoidea super family including handling specimens and micro-dissection. Had access to the Natural History museum's vast Coleoptera department. From observation I formed hypotheses on both the function and taxonomic importance of the rectal ring or loop. Serendipitously discovered a new species of parasitic nematode. Researching the rectal morphology of members of the Curculionoidea super family including handling specimens and micro-dissection.
