Research Interests and Information on Graduate Program: I have a general interest in conservation applications of terrestrial invertebrates. Student projects have included developing and evaluating sampling protocols, using invertebrates as indicators of ecological change with disturbance or management, and invasive invertebrates. I am specifically interested in ecology and taxonomy of spiders, especially family Linyphiidae, and in faunistics of North America. UW-Green Bay offers an M.S. degree in Environmental Science and Policy. Out-of-state tuition waivers and assistantships are available on a competitive basis.

Research Interests and Information on Graduate Program: Research in Paul Selden’s laboratory utilizes fossil material to investigate systematics, evolution, ecology and other aspects of arthropods, particularly spiders and other Chelicerata. We have graduate students and postdocs working with amber-preserved specimens as well as rock matrix material. Mesozoic spiders are a particular interest at present. We have great collaboration with fossil insect colleagues (e.g. Michael Engel, also at KU) and paleontologists (e.g. Steve Hasiotis, studying fossil and Recent spider burrows).
