- Curators
- Barry M. O'Connor
- Research interests: the study of coevolutionary patterns among arthropods primarily mites, and other organisms.
- Systematics of parasitic and commensal mites associated with vertebrates, insects, fungi, and other groups.
- Studies on ecological interactions within these systems are an integral part of coevolutionary research, with field studies supplementing laboratory investigations.
- Systematic research stresses phylogenetic analyses of groups participating in coevolving systems.
- L. Lacey Knowles
- Speciation, sexual selection, phylogeography, and evolutionary radiations
- Emeritus Curators
- Dr. Richard Alexander
- Dr. Alexander studies the biology and systematics of crickets, katydids, and cicadas.
- He also formulates and tests hypotheses from evolutionary theory to help explain animal and human behavior.
- He has also studied the social behavior of naked mole rats and horses.
- Dr. Thomas E. Moore
- Dr. Moore's research interests involve cicada locusts (Insects, Homoptera, Cicadidae)
- Acoustic behavior, ontogeny of songs, mechanisms and physiology of sound production and reception and their ontogeny
- Sexual selection, and the systematics, evolution, zoogeography, and ecology of cicadas and other singing insects.
