Research summary
AI-generated

Stefan Richter studies the evolution, anatomy, and classification of crustaceans such as shrimps, prawns, and crabs. The work combines detailed comparative anatomy (including eye structure and body segmentation), molecular and genomic data, and phylogenetic methods to reconstruct evolutionary relationships and understand how species diversified, including cave-dwelling and mountain shrimp lineages in Tasmania.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
