I am a professor of Plant Biology at Southern Illinois University. My specialty is parasitic plants, specifically their phylogenetic (evolutionary) relationships. I have published numerous scientific journal and popular articles on these plants. My list of pubilcations can be seen at: http://www.science.siu.edu/plant-biology/Faculty/nickrent/publications.html. I created and maintain the "Parasitic Plant Connection" web site that serves as a clearinghouse of information on these plants. It can be seen at: http://www.parasiticplants.siu.edu/
