Andrew Deans studies the taxonomy, classification, and evolutionary relationships of gall wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) and related insect groups, including describing new species and genera, building identification keys, and developing structured vocabularies (ontologies) for describing plant galls. His work also touches on insect biodiversity documentation, including checklists of wasp groups across regions like Canada and Kyrgyzstan, and occasionally extends into broader biodiversity or ecological topics. Note that several publications in this record (e.g., on hypoxia and neutrophils, long COVID, Fanconi anemia) appear unrelated to this entomological focus and may reflect shared author names rather than this researcher's work.
