Shattuck, Steven O.
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
Steve’s interest in ants began in the deserts and grasslands of western North America where he received his university degree in systematic entomology. He moved to Australia and began work at the Australian National Insect Collection in 1990 to explore the vast and little known Australian ant fauna. During the mid-1990s Steve expanded his interest into the area of biodiversity informatics, an activity which occupied most of his time, but he has more recently moved back to systematics to complete revisions across the entire Australian ant fauna.
