Dylan Corner
I am a a Nematologist and Soil Ecologist at the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries. However, my PhD was on the taxonomy, life cycles, and systematics of parasitic flatworms (trematodes) infecting marine turtles. I have transferred the skills developed throughout my PhD to the study of plant-parasitic nematodes. My work currently focuses on molecular diagnostic development, species identification, and management of nematodes affecting agricultural and horticultural crops. I have a nuanced appreciation for the vital role of taxonomy in modern science and hope to contribute where I can.
