Shattuck, Steven O.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
Steve Shattuck is a Research Scientist with the Australian National Insect Collection (ANIC). He conducts taxonomic research on Australian ant species with a focus on descriptive taxonomy and phylogenetic reconstruction at the species- and genus-levels.

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.

Dr Shattuck has been awarded:


 * Bachelor of Science from Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, USA, in 1983
 * Master of Arts from the University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, USA, in 1985
 * Doctor of Philosophy from University of California, Davis, California, USA, 1991

ANT TAXONOMY

Dr Shattuck has published many scientific papers describing several new genera and many new species of Australian ants.
