CV |
| My main interest includes the study of morphology, biology, and behaviour of the adult scarab beetles. The project work is an attempt to clarify the phylogeny of the flightless, dessert dwelling genus Pachysoma (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeini) using genetic techniques. My results will be compared to the today standing phylogenetic hypothesis based on the morphology of adults. I started my work as a member of the University of Pretoria Scarab Research Group in January 2001 and will be working on this for at least two years. |

Besides Scarabs some of my other interests include sport with watching rugby and scoring cricket falling into the top two. I am an avid traveler having seen most of South Africa (with Namibia and Zimbabwe), as well as some of Europe and South East Asia. I love to watch birds and animals and you will find me anywhere, where you can pitch a tent to relax and learn. My e-mail address is clsole@zoology.up.ac.za |
