Defending the maligned hagfish | The hagfish is one of the most despised creatures in the ocean. Its very name inspires disgust. But does the hagfish deserve its reputation? Maybe it is time to stand up for a fish that can’t stand up for itself. Let’s look at the charges against the poor hag. |

This site has general information and cool facts, plus more some details of my previous undergraduate and current doctoral research. In addition, I have provided fairly unique information on museums and research collections around the world that have specimens of echinoderms. Such collections are fundamental to any phylogenetic (evolutionary) and taxonomic research. You can also find some information on funding sources for your graduate research |

National Biological Information Infrastructure | The NBII is an electronic gateway to biological data and information maintained by federal, state, and local government agencies; private sector organizations; and other partners around the nation and the world. The NBII, a USGS-led initiative, is dedicated to the development of an electronic “federation” of biological data and information sources. Its success rests on a growing network of partners who share biological information. The goal of the NBII is to provide swift user access to biological databases, information products, directories, and guides maintained by Federal, State, and local government agencies, non-government institutions, and private sector organizations in the United States and around the world. This section provides overview information about the planning and development of the NBII. |
Integrated Taxonomic Information System | The Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) is a partnership of U.S., Canadian, and Mexican agencies, other organizations, and taxonomic specialists cooperating on the development of an on-line, scientifically credible, list of biological names focusing on the biota of North America. ITIS is also a participating member of Species 2000, an international project indexing the world’s known species. |

Bioluminescence Web Page | Reliable information on marine bioluminescence is widely scattered in the literature and in unpublished data. While this is merely an inconvenience to the relatively small core of investigators actively working in the discipline, there is a much larger group of life scientists, oceanographers and applied marine scientists who frequently come upon problems involving bioluminescence and who might have little awareness of the availability and reliability of information on the subject. |
