Welcome to Molecular Phylogenetics of Tenebrionidae
The Tenebrionidae are an extremely morphologically diverse family containing over 20,000 described species of beetles.
I created this site to disseminate data and results from my taxonomic and phlyogenetic projects in this family.

I am a PhD student in the Zoology department at Oregon State Univers
This site will provide data and results of my projects in Tenebrionidae. Currently I am focusing on 2 main projects.
1. The higher-level phylogeny of Tenebrionidae: I am currently constructing a 4-gene molecular phylogeny for the Tenebrionidae to explore subfamilial relationships.
2. Using hybrid-enrichment techniques and next gen sequencing to infer the phylogeny of Tenebrionidae.
