Stephen L. Cameron studies insect evolution and classification using genetic and genomic tools, focusing on groups such as fruit flies, lice, thrips, moths, and whiteflies. His work often combines mitochondrial genome sequencing and phylogenetics (the study of evolutionary relationships using DNA) to clarify species boundaries, track pest species relevant to agriculture and quarantine, and understand how insects evolved over time and geography.
