Revision as of 15:47, 8 June 2008
I am an Ph.D. student in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI. I graduated with Honors in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Neurobiology and Behavior from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY in May 2008.
My primary interest in contributing to the Citizendium is in the field of animal behavior; however, I've contributed to articles on Wikipedia in other areas of biology, chemistry, and physics, and expect to do so here as well. I am also interested in scientific classification. My organisms of choice generally belong to the class Insecta. As for nonscientific interests, anime, manga, and other aspects of Japanese popular culture are a hobby of mine. I am also an avid reader of both fiction and non fiction.

If someone wants to fix this to get the annoying blue stripe below the banner removed, that would be awesome. Also, the banner design is by no means final. I am happy for suggestions. Marielle Fields Newsome 11:36, 8 June 2008 (CDT)

Taxonomy
Making entries for all the taxonomic divisions order and up in Hexapoda.
Insect classification, like much of taxonomy, has been going through rather dramatic changes recently. The most complete source for up-to-date classification seems to be ITIS. As such, I've decided that the site will be my final authority on taxonomy. I notice that Wikipedia uses more recent material in their classification, but I'm hesitant to do that, mostly because taxonomy is often interdependent, and one paper does not a new order make.

Completed
Where completed means there's a good skeleton for a fully fleshed out article in place.
