Perry Beasley-Hall (she/her) is an Australian Biological Resources Study Postdoctoral Fellow. Her current research focuses on teasing apart the Tree of Life for cave crickets, at-risk yet poorly understood subterranean insects, and assigning them formal taxonomic names. She has a background in insect systematics, molecular evolution, bioinformatics, and biogeography. Perry is also passionate about entomological outreach and increasing the visibility of LGBT+ people and women in STEM.
Major research interests include:
- evolution of insects in subterranean environments
- insect taxonomy, particularly the Orthoptera
- insect molecular evolution and genomics
