Why Is Dale Clayton Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Dale Hartwell Clayton , a parasitologist and professor of evolution at the University of Utah. Clayton is the taxonomist of Strigiphilus garylarsoni. Information Dale Clayton named the new species of feather louse after his favorite cartoonist, Gary Larson. Clayton has been interested in the relationships between parasites and their hosts since he was in high school. He was so intrigued with these relationships that he was able to use the research that he gathered in a high school science fair project in his Ph.D. thesis. The information was on the impact of parasites on avian conditions. He is specifically interested in the factors that allow parasite specificity, specification, co-specification, competition, and adaptive radiation. Thus far, his favorite research has been on birds and their feather-feeding lice.
