Liza Miller was awarded her doctorate
in 1999 from the University of Queensland, Australia. Her dissertation
topic was "Identification and Evolution of Melolonthini
(Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in Australian Canefields," and
her doctorate encompassed entomology, systematics, phylogenetics
and population genetics.
The objectives of her doctoral research were: (1) describe the
morphology of 19 species of Australian canegrubs (Coleoptera:
Scarabaeidae: Melolonthini); (2) develop a molecular identification
key for morphologically similar canegrubs; (3) investigate the
population genetics of a canegrub species to explain its population
dynamics and gene flow. |
