Jonathan Browne is currently co-owner of a privately held management consulting firm based in Canada (www.bbmd.ca). He has participated in government reform and
environmental initiatives in Canada and elsewhere, mainly in
Africa. Jonathan completed his bachelors degree (1989)
at Carleton University, where he trained with Prof. Stewart
Peck, followed by an M.Sc. cum laude (1991) and Ph.D.
(1993), at the University of Pretoria, working with Prof. Clarke
Scholtz and Dr. Jarmila Kukalová-Peck. Prior to entering
the private sector in the mid-1990s, Jonathan lectured and
held postdoctoral fellowships in Canada and South Africa. He
is primarily interested in taxonomy, evolutionary biology and
biogeography of insects, notably the evolution of the scarabaeoid
wing and its contribution to unraveling the relationships among
the higher scarbaeoid taxa, and the biogeography of West Indian
beetles and amblypygids. He has contributed to numerous
scientific articles, technical reports and books covering a
wide range of topics including entomology, environmental management,
planning and management. |
