Wilson, Nerida

Postdoctoral Scholar

Degrees:

• Ph.D., University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia
• B.S., University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Research Interests:

• My research is directed towards questions in evolution and ecology, and focuses on marine invertebrates. I have a deep interest in the phylogeny of molluscs, especially opisthobranchs, and the ways they have diversified with shell reduction.
