Chris Darling is an Associate Professor in the field of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto. His research focuses on systematic studies grounded in comparative morphology and phylogenetics, with the long-term aim of providing insights into the natural classification of Chalcidoidea. His biological studies emphasize the ecology and behavior of parasitic Hymenoptera, particularly considering their implications for biological control of insect pests. Darling's current research endeavors include generic revisions and phylogenetic studies of families such as Perilampidae, Leucospidae, and Pteromalidae. Furthermore, he is involved in comparative morphology of adults and larvae and investigates population biology in the model organism Nasonia. His work extends to understanding the organization of parasitoid communities and biodiversity conservation efforts in Indonesia.
