Tony Gill is Assistant Museum Curator at the School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, USA.
He is the world authority on the systematics of Dottybacks, family Pseudochromidae.
Tony visited the Australian Museum on a Research Fellowship to work with Jeff Leis. Their research project aimed to assess whether evolutionary relationships exist between the Tripletails, Tigerperches and Velvetchins. In his research Tony used characteristics of the larvae, osteology (bones) and cheek myology (musculature).
Tony visited from 21 May until 18 June 2007. His previous visit was in March/April 2002.
