Organisms: Terrestrial planarians (primarily the genus Bipalium), earthworms of northeastern US (Lumbricidae and Megascolecidae), salamanders

Locations: US, New York

Description: My students, colleagues, and I study the evolutionary ecology and conservation biology implications of invasive worms (planarians and earthworms) in terrestrial and stream environments. We also study the effects of invasions on native amphibian populations.
