About

Jason Weckstein serves as an Associate Curator and Associate Professor at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, USA. His research primarily focuses on systematics, evolutionary biology, and the ecology of parasitic organisms, particularly within avian communities. Recent publications highlight his work on Phthiraptera systematics and the diversity of haemosporidian parasites, illustrating the interplay between host traits and parasitic prevalence.
