Kevin R. Thiele is currently an adjunct associate professor at the
University of Western Australia
[1] and the director of Taxonomy Australia.
[2] He was the
curator of the
Western Australian Herbarium from 2006 to 2015.
[3]
[2] His research interests include the
systematics of the plant families
Proteaceae ,
Rhamnaceae and
Violaceae , and the
conservation ecology of grassy
woodland
ecosystems .
[3] He also works in
biodiversity informatics ,
[3] developing and teaching the development of interactive
multi-access keys ,
[4]
[5]
[6]
[7] and has been involved in the design of software for the
Global Biodiversity Information Facility .
[3]
He obtained a
PhD from the
University of Melbourne in 1993, and has since published many papers, notably a treatment of the
Rhamnaceae for the
Flora of Australia series of monographs,
[3] and, with Pauline Ladiges,
a taxonomic arrangement of Banksia .
[8] In 2007 he collaborated with
Austin Mast to transfer
Dryandra to
Banksia .
[9] More recently, he has worked on pollination systems,
[10] taxonomy,
[11]
[12]
[13]
[14] vegetation dynamics,
[15]
[16] and described further new species.
[17]
[18]
He has contributed over 2000 images to Wikipedia Commons of Western Australian plants and weeds.
