Dr. David Midgley
Sydney, Australia

I'm a professional biologist with an interest in plant/microbe interactions and more generally the biology of fungi (in particular in the areas of ecophysiology and ecology). I have written a small number of papers on ericoid mycorrhiza and orchid mycorrhiza.

Additionally, I have a side interest in asclepid plants (Family: Apocynaceae) and the fishes of the family Cichlidae.
