I'm working on several projects involving the heteropteran suborder Gerromorpha in Illinois, including:

The Gerromorpha (Heteroptera) of Illinois: distribution, keys, and species accounts (with J. E. McPherson). See my Checklist of Illinois Gerromorpha (Heteroptera)
Gerromorphan (Heteroptera) species assemblages southern Illinois (with J. E. McPherson)
Life Histories of Waterstriders of the Sangamon River, Champaign County, Illinois
Biotic and aboitic relationships among five species of semiaquatic Heteroptera (Gerromorpha: Gerridae, Hebridae, Mesoveliidae, and Veliidae) in southern Illinois (with J. E. McPherson)
