Dr. Miguel Morón conducts research
on the taxonomy and ecology of Rutelinae and Melolonthinae in
particular, but he has broad interests in Scarabaeoidea as well.
He is well known for his extensive publications, including the
books Entomología Práctica (with Roberto Terrón), Los
Coleópteros del Mundo 10: Rutelini 1 (Plusiotis), Atlas
de los Escarabajos de Mexico (Coleoptera: Lamellicornia), Vol.

200 Millones de Años de Evolución. Dr. Morón is one of
the leading workers on scarab larvae in the world today. He
has conducted numerous faunistic studies of the Mexican scarab
fauna. In 1992, he was awarded the National Prize in Natural
Science Research by the Mexican Academy of Scientific Investigation
for his work with scarabs. |
