Dr Andrew Hosie

Qualifications

PhD

Andrew is the curator in charge of the Crustacean and Worm Collections. The crustaceans include familiar groups such as crabs, shrimps and lobsters. The Worm Collection includes an assortment of animals collectively known as 'worms' and covers the segmented Annelida (earthworms, leeches, bristle worms) and unsegmented groups such as the Platyhelminthes (flatworms, flukes, tapeworms), Nematoda (roundworms) and Nemertea (ribbon worms) among others.

Andrew’s research focusses on documenting the biodiversity of crustaceans and worms from some of Australia's most remote and deep habitats including the Indian Ocean Territories, Gascoyne Marine Park and coastal Kimberley reefs. These field surveys serve to provide representative specimens to further our knowledge of very diverse and abundant groups of marine invertebrates. Andrew has particular expertise in the taxonomy of barnacles and is engaged in describing numerous species from around Australia and beyond. Key to his research is using genetic sequences to help study how symbiotic relationships can drive species diversity.
