He has authored more than 150 scientific publications, mainly on the systematics, taxonomy, and morphology of spiders, particularly the family Salticidae. [1] He has described 296 spider species and two species of harvestmen, as well as 11 spider genera and three subgenera. [2]
Nineteen spider species, four beetle species, one harvestman, one fossil neuropteran, and one fossil bird species have been named in his honour.
