Collecting for Revisionary Taxonomy and Phylogenomics
Specimens which I collected for revisions
Taxonomic Keys for Species Rich Clades of the Jarbidge Field Office
I wrote dichotomous keys to roughly 12 species rich intermountain clades in Southern Idaho and Northern Nevadas Jarbidge Field Office
Western Plants Project
This was a project which I began with Alec Latuszek while we were at the Great Basin Institude to help early career botanists, ecologists, and rangeland scientists to identify plant specimens
