Professional Goals and Specific Projects

My research goal is to produce the most modern, empirical classification and accounting of the Buprestidae, via traditional and modern techniques and procedures, e.g. morphological systematics of adult and immature character states; molecular systematics; web, hardcopy and CD Rom publication of world catalogue and regional checklists.

Research

1. The Coraebini of Madagascar: view

Following four visits to the Paris Museum, I have completed the foundation work for the large project on the Madagascan Coraebini. Having seen almost all of the types of existing taxa, the original estimates of 20-30 new genera and 500-600 new species are accurate and represent at least a ten year project. A limiting factor is the slowness of the Paris staff in responding to my loan requests, as it is actually quicker to visit and return with the material I need. A catalogue of all described species is prepared; the first generic groups have been identified and material is being gathered for the first descriptive papers. The majority of the specimens were first collected by Cerceris wasps then later dug from the wasps’ nests by French entomologists. A possible collaboration with a hymenopterist is apparent. The completion of this large descriptive work will allow phylogenetic analysis for the entire Afrotropical component of this largest and most diverse tribe in the family. The Subsaharan portion of the group was the subject of my doctoral thesis.

2. The Buprestidae of México: view

A new collaborative project to catalogue the Mexican fauna of this beetle family through extensive field work and systematic studies. In concert with personal research interests, those of colleagues and several interested Mexican coleopterists, this project might represent a true binational attempt to deal with the diversity of one relatively rich family of beetles. Funding to support this project will be sought from several sources upon approval by Mexican authorities and the receipt of collecting and export permits.

This project may evolve into a Coleoptera of México larger scale effort with more attention to a bigger collaboration underway.

3. Molecular systematics and higher classification of the beetle family Buprestidae (Coleoptera).

Since late in 1997, I have been collecting fresh specimens from a variety of well-known taxa and applying genetic preservation techniques during field work in southern Africa, southwestern North America and central Mexico, and Australia. A number of colleagues have generously collected fresh specimens in their travels, eg. Chile, Australia, Indonesia, New Caledonia and Central Europe. All of this fresh material has been preserved for DNA extraction and is stored appropriately in the molecular systematics laboratory at NHMLAC. I have material of nearly 300 taxa representing both families of the superfamily Buprestoidea, all subfamilies and tribes of Buprestidae, 43 of 64 subtribes, including most of the crucial taxa and several important outgroups. The project will be collaborative between myself and the laboratory of Dr. Brian D. Farrell, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University (details) and Dr. Farrell’s PhD student Amanda Evans. We will begin preliminary work on the origin of leaf-mining in the Buprestidae and later propose collaborative work which will generate sequence data on this fresh material for comparative parsimony analysis which, when combined with morphological character states, should allow the most modern interpretation of higher relationships within the superfamily as well as help provide the definition of sister group.
