<\/strong>Research Interests  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My interests lie in various aspects of evolution, genetics, biogeography and taxonomy of scorpions <\/em>– which demonstrate remarkable adaptations and diversity acquired in their 400,000,000 years of known evolutionary history.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My research involves reconstructing scorpion evolution and phylogeny with molecular techniques, particularly mitochondrial DNA PCR and sequence analysis – the same methods as are used in forensic science, DNA fingerprinting\/barcoding, and genetic engineering. I am also interested in taxonomy, systematics, paleontology, morphology, and various phenomena specific to scorpions, including in particular their sensory organs<\/em>. I also collaborate on projects in molecular evolution of other animals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another aspect of my research concerns evolution, biodiversity, and biogeography of desert and mountain animals and biotas, especially in Central Asia and the Balkans. I work with local collectives of biologists as an editor on production of definitive monographs in biodiversity and biogeography. Two of such monographic works have been published, Biogeography and Ecology of Turkmenistan<\/a> <\/em>(1994) and Biogeography and Ecology of Bulgaria<\/a> <\/em>(2007).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have traveled intensively with research purposes, both for field work and museum work. In 2001-2002, the\u00a0National Geographic Society<\/a>\u00a0sponsored my expedition to Central Asian deserts to study scorpions there. My overseas field travels over many years took me to Mexico, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Greece, Austria, France, Russia, Slovenia, and New Zealand; I worked with scorpion collections in the natural history museums of the USA, England, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Switzerland, Russia, Greece, and Bulgaria, and studied collections loaned from dozens of other museums. I run a number of cooperative projects with researchers from many countries.\u00a0In 2005, I was on a sabbatical leave as a Fulbright Scholar Program<\/a><\/strong> grant recipient in Bulgaria; and in 2012, on a sabbatical leave as a\u00a0Fulbright Scholar Program<\/a>\u00a0grant recipient in Greece.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am also the co-editor (together with Frantisek Kova\u0159\u00edk<\/strong><\/strong> and Michael E. Soleglad) of“Euscorpius<\/a>“, the Occasional Publications in\u00a0Scorpiology<\/em>, an online, open-access, peer-reviewed research journal and the\u00a0only\u00a0<\/em>research periodical completely devoted to scorpions, mainly to their systematics.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


NOTE THAT ‘Euscorpius’<\/em> is now fully migrated to Marshall Digital Scholar:
http:\/\/mds.marshall.edu\/euscorpius\/\u200b<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its inception in 2001, “<\/strong>Euscorpius<\/strong><\/em>” published 399 issues authored by 254 zoologists from 53 countries. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2002-2024,\u00a0426<\/strong>\u00a0new species and\u00a030\u00a0new genera of scorpions \u200bfrom\u00a081<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>countries have been described in \u201c<\/strong>Euscorpius<\/strong><\/em>\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My additional interests within biological sciences concern\u00a0history of biology.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I translated into English a seminal and nearly forgotten Russian work\u00a0on\u00a0symbiogenesis<\/em>\u00a0by\u00a0Boris M. Kozo-Polyansky<\/a>\u00a0(1924). The book was published in May 2010\u00a0by Harvard University Press<\/a>.\u00a0This work was co-edited, encouraged and promoted by Professor\u00a0Lynn Margulis<\/a>\u00a0(1938-2011),\u00a0the\u00a0leading authority on symbiogenesis and the original author of the serial endosymbiotic theory (SET)\u00a0of\u00a0eukaryotic cell origin. On 24 September 2010,\u00a0Professor Margulis came to Marshall University<\/a>\u00a0to celebrate\u00a0publication\u00a0of this important book.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another large translation project embraced an anthology of early writings in human genetics from Russia compiled by V. V.\u00a0 Babkov,\u00a02013.\u00a0The Dawn of Human Genetics<\/em> (the original Russian edition published in 2007).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, with the help of my co-editors Raisa Gorelova and Alexander Kogan, repectively, we published, in Russian, two e-book volumes of memoirs and archive materials about the national parks (zapovedniki) of Turkmenistan, Badghyzskie Arkhivy <\/em>[The Badghyz Archives<\/em>], and Danovskiy Arkhiv<\/em> [The Danov Archive<\/em>; see below).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
