| | PEET - Austral Staphylinidae |
 | | Higher classification, phylogeny, comparative morphology and evolution of beetle groups Staphylinoidea and Hydrophiloidea (including Histeroidea), with current projects centering on the families Staphylinidae, Leiodidae and Silphidae; theory and practice of systematics, especially as applied to large and poorly known groups. |
 | | Historical biogeography, especially of southern temperate regions, as illustrated by selected archaic groups of Staphylinoidea and Hydrophiloidea; associated faunal surveys of Australia, New Zealand and Chile, and associated systematic studies. |
 | | Biological, ecological and functional morphological aspects of the association of insects (especially Staphylinoidea) with fungi, carrion, dung and other localized/specialized microhabitats; associated fieldwork and systematic studies (including revision of New World Platydracus). |
