Phylogeny of Annulipalpia

I have been particularly involved in trying to determine relationships among the families of net-making caddisflies in the suborder Annulipalpia and also lower-level relationships in some of the included families. Of particular interest to me are subfamily relationships in Hydropsychidae, one of the most abundant and species diverse families of Trichoptera, and genus-level relationships in Philopotamidae, the family that includes the genus Chimarra, which was the subject of my dissertation research and continues to be an ongoing subject of research interest. This work was supported by the National Science Foundation (DEB 9796097).
