I'm an enthusiast for natural history who recently graduated with a BS in biology. I'm very interested in the evolutionary history of vertebrates and their phylogeny, as well as paleontology. I make edits about new species, split species, major taxonomic changes, and sometimes fossil species. I base my major edits for recent taxa off of the databases that Wikipedia primarily relies on (IOC for birds, MammalDiversity for mammals, ReptileDatabase for reptiles, and AmphibiaWeb and the Amphibian Species of the World for amphibians). Ask me if you have any enquiries!

Currently I'm on a project to revamp all the pages for fossil ray-finned fish genera to both keep them up-to-date and place them under the site's standardized taxonomy system.
