Frank Udovicic
Manager Research
Frank Udovicic's interests centre around the phylogenetic systematics of Australian plants, in particular members of the Myrtle family (Myrtaceae), such as eucalypts (Eucalyptus听补苍诲Corymbia), bottlebrushes (Callistemon), paperbarks (Melaleuca) and related genera. He is also continuing research on Rhamnaceae, a cosmopolitan family that includes genera such as Spyridium, Cryptandra and Pomaderris听in Australia. Practical applications and limitations of DNA barcoding and molecular identification are another area of current interest.
