Ph.D. Student

 

I'm interested in larval morphology, taxonomy, systematics, evolution and larval ecology of the family Scarabaeidae (Coleoptera).

I'm mainly researching the subfamilies Cetoniinae, Trichinae and Valginae in the family Scarabaeidae.



■ Main research themes

  • Comparative morphology of larvae in the family Scarabaeidae
  • Morphological evolution of Larvae in the subfamiles Cetoniinae, Trichinae and Valginae
  • Taxonomic study of the family Scarabaeidae
  • Elucidation of habitats in the larvae of the subfamily Cetoniinae
