  Art is a world expert on the systematics of Ceratopogonidae (biting midges, no-see-ums), Corethrellidae (frog-biting midges), and Chaoboridae (phantom midges) and has broad interests in the phylogenetic relationships of other nematocerous Diptera.  His current work concentrates on the phylogenetic relationships between genera of Ceratopogonidae and the incredible fossil amber record of this family.  He was awarded the J.O. Westwood Medal by the Natural History Museum, London, and the Royal Entomological Society for his 456-page world revision of the Corethrellidae published in Zootaxa.
