I am a systematist, arachnologist, and evolutionary biologist, studying arachnid biology, development, diversity, ecology, evolution, historical biogeography, life history, phylogeny and systematics. I use integrative taxonomy for biodiversity discovery and study evolutionary and ecological processes that form biodiversity. I combine fieldwork and use of natural history collections, including state-of-the-art methods for description and documentation using morphological and molecular methods. I study already 25 years arachnids in agriculture and natural habitats, and for the last 15 years also the Levant subterranean arthropods, focusing on arachnids.
I am looking to join a project on arthropod q arachnid biodiersity, on subterranean and natural epigean habitats, climate change, phylogenetic diversity.
