Although trained as an invertebrate biologists, his taxonomic interests are broad, and his work is often collaborative. Dr. Guralnick tends to be happiest when connecting dots between developing infrastructure to support new science and showing the power of those approaches for looking at broad scale ecogeographic patterns and their drivers. Outside of work, he tends pets, tries to stay active even during Florida summers, and appreciates a good IPA
