Diddordebau Ymchwil
Malacoleg (astudiaeth o folysgiaid) yn seiliedig ar gasgliadau cregyn, anatomaidd a meinwe/DNA yr Amgueddfa, o ardaloedd trefol a gwledig Cymru i goedwigoedd glaw trofannol. Ar hyn o bryd mae’r ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar: 1. newidiadau ddoe a heddiw mewn ffawna malwod Prydeinig 2. tacsonomeg alffa a biodaearyddiaeth yn nwyrain Affrica 3. esblygiad ‘malwod hela’ cigysol (Streptaxidae) ledled y byd. Mae’r canfyddiadau yn cael eu defnyddio i gynhyrchu canllawiau maes, canfod rhywogaethau ymledol a phlâu planhigion, ail-greu amgylcheddau cynhanes, a pharasitoleg. Mae’r canlyniadau’n cael eu rhannu mewn sgyrsiau, digwyddiadau, gwaith addysgu, y cyfryngau, gwyddoniaeth dinasyddion, arddangosfeydd ac mewn cyhoeddiadau. Gwaith contract diweddar ar arolygon safleoedd/rhywogaethau, archaeoleg ac asesiadau cadwraeth.
