Kevin Thiele
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kevin R. Thiele is curator of the Western Australian Herbarium. His research interests include the systematics of the plant families Proteaceae, Rhamnaceae and Violaceae, and the conservation ecology of grassy woodland ecosystems. He is also interested in biodiversity informatics, and is involved in the design of software for the Global Biodiversity Infrastructure Facility.[1]
He obtained a PhD from the University of Melbourne in 1993, and has since had a number of publications, notably a treatment of the Rhamnaceae for the Flora of Australia series of monographs,[1] and, with Pauline Ladiges, a taxonomic arrangement of Banksia.[2] In 2007 he collaborated with Austin Mast to transfer Dryandra to Banksia.[3]
