Academy curator Dr. Dave Blackburn uses molecular phylogenetic methods to understand the diversity and evolution of African frogs, including phylogeography of lowland forest frogs, species-level phylogenies of genera such as Cardioglossa and Hylarana, diversity of North African water frogs, and species discovery in other frog lineages. Each project involves collaborators from the United States, Europe and Africa. For more information, visit the amphibians and reptiles of Central Africa project page.
