I have worked on recording the distribution and effects of invasive species within the USA (southern California and Hawai'i) as well as looked at changes invasive California kingsnakes have undergone during their initial irruption in the canary islands.

I have worked on describing new species as well as understanding the distribution and life history characteristics of native and endemic species. I think it is of vital importance in order to help conserve, understand, and protect extant species during the age of the Anthropocene.

I have also worked on collecting and surveying both invasive and native taxa in Malaysia, Hawai'i, and California to look for hidden parasite diversity.
