Entomologist
Derek Duckhouse was an international authority of the insect order Psychodidae (moth flies) and amassed an extensive collection of specimens. He made major contributions to understanding the evolutionary relationships of these flies, and flies more broadly, while also describing many new species. He was an early enthusiast in Australia of cladistic analysis as a taxonomic tool while considering that it had limitations. For over 40 years he was on the staff of the Department of Biology (later Zoology) at the University of Adelaide and a long-term Fellow of the Royal Society of South Australia.
