Matt
Moore is an undergraduate entomology major at the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln. His research interests include the physiology,
taxonomy, and phylogenetics of the new world scarab genus Dynastes.
He currently works as a REU student (Research Experience for
Undergraduates) in the Division of Entomology at the Nebraska
State Museum. Matt’s first publication, a short synthesis
and key
for the genus Dynastes, was recently completed
and is included in the larger project, Generic Guide to New
World Scarab Beetles. In the near future, Matt hopes to begin
a molecular analysis of the genus Dynastes and examine
the physiology of the elytral epicuticle of several Dynastes
species.
Matt is currently a sophomore at UNL.
He plans to continue his education in entomology at the graduate
level.
