Ruan Booysen
PhD graduate in Entomology specialising in arachnid taxonomy, biodiversity, and systematics. My research focuses on the revision and molecular phylogeny of spitting spiders (Scytodidae) in southern Africa. I have a strong interest in invertebrate diversity, specimen curation, and biodiversity documentation, combining fieldwork, morphological, and molecular approaches to explore evolutionary relationships.
