In his research he uses molecular techniques to study evolutionary changes and the influence of host and environmental factors, the co-evolution of parasites and their hosts, questions about population genetics and phylogeography of vertebrates, and molecular taxonomy of medically-important parasites such as Asian lung flukes and blood flukes. Specific interests include parasites of tropical Australian wildlife, particularly dugongs and chelonians. He described numerous new genera and the families Labicolidae and Balanotaenidae. In 2006 he donated to the Queensland Museum over 1,500 specimens of Digenea, stigeroids and parasites of Australian wildlife. 1971 1971 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc(Hons)), Glasgow University 1974 1974 Life event - Migrated to Australia 1974 1974 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Glasgow University 1975 1979 Career position - Tutor, Department of Zoology, James Cook University 1979 1980 Career position - Post-doctoral Fellow, Department of Parasitology, University of Queensland 1981 1989 Career position - Lecturer, Department of Zoology, University of Canterbury, New Zealand 1989 1997 Career position - Senior Lecturer, Department of Zoology, James Cook University 1997 1997 Career position - Professor, Department of Zoology, School of Molecular and Biological Sciences, James Cook University 2008 2008 Award - Fellow, Australian Society for Parasitology James Cook University of North Queensland (1970 - 1997)
