Bio:
Dr. Padgett's current research interest relates to revision of the systematics of watermolds belonging to the protistan order Saprolegniales. This research is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate of Environmental Biology Partnership for Enhancing Expertise in Taxonomy (PEET) program. This five-year project will involve using gene sequence data from axenic cultures of watermolds collected from all over the world to reevaluate the utility of sexual morphological features as taxonomic criteria. This project will train numerous undergraduates and two Ph.D. students in watermold systematics and will result in a complete revision of the species circumscriptions of the approximately 150(?) species of the 17(?) genera that comprise this order.
