Research interests

Production of taxonomic literature on British insects, including identification guides and checklists, both as conventional publications and web-based products. The first major product was the book Identifying British Insects and Arachnids: an annotated bibliography of key works published in 1999 by Cambridge University Press, and including contributions by many members of the Entomology Department. For further information and reviews see: http://titles.cambridge.org

Checklists of all the British animals and plants are being compiled on a comprehensive searchable database shortly to be launched on the NHM's website. This project forms part of the Museum's contribution to the National Biodiversity Network: for further details of NBN see

Current activities

• Leader of British Insect Research Group at The Natural History Museum.
• Runs the NHM's Identification Qualification (IdQ) examinations on freshwater macroinvertebrates.
• Associate Editor of Archives of Natural History.

Personal projects include writing a new handbook to the British caddisflies (Trichoptera), and the preparation of a European list of Trichoptera with country-based distributional information for the EU-funded Fauna Europaea project.
