Biography:

Entomologist working at LCF (RNCanada) in Quebec, Canada
Manager of the René-Martineau Insectarium

I primarily work on beetles identification for diversity projects, but most of my activities on BG are from my personnal collectings. I have a strong interest in Staphylinidae, Elateroidea, and Histeridae, though I collect and (try to) ID pretty much anything from the northeast.
