                Bert Kohlmann conducts research 
                  on the systematics, ecology, and biogeography of Costa Rican 
                  dung and carrion beetles (in conjunction with Angel Solís, INBio); 
                  systematics, ecology, biogeography, and phylogeny of  the 
                  genus Scatimus (in conjunction with F. Génier); systematics, 
                  ecology, biogeography, and phylogeny of the genus Ateuchus 
                  and Dichotomius and Central American dung and carrion 
                  beetles; ecology and distribution of Digitonthophagus 
                  gazella in North and Central America; conservation 
                  and characterization of tropical biodiversity using dung and 
                  carrion beetles as a model; dung and carrion beetle biogeography; 
                  characterization of dung and carrion beetle allomones (in conjunction 
                  with Joe Polacco); insect population genetics and allozyme analyses; 
                  crystallization in outer space of medicinal substances from 
                  extracts of tropical organisms (in conjunction with NASA); and 
                  tropical agroecology (in conjunction with the University of 
                  Georgia).  |
