Ethan Briggs
I am an evolutionary biologist with a keen interest in arachnids, particularly mygalomorph spiders. During My PhD I studied the biogeography and diversity of Australian tarantulas (Theraphosidae). As a postdoctoral researcher I worked on the genome assembly and comparative genomics of spiders. Now as a research fellow I am looking to explore more arachnid lineages.
