Become a CMarZ Species Page Contributor!

The CMarZ Species Page Contributors are zooplankton taxonomists, ecologists, oceanographers, and others who are committed to working toward the goal of completing a global biodiversity of holozooplankton by 2010. Researchers, students, technical staff, and interested others are welcome.

It is the expectation of CMarZ that only expert taxonomists or para-taxonomists will supply this information. If you are not a taxonomist or para-taxonomist but would like to contribute information for a CMarZ Species Page, please contact Nancy Copley (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Email ncopley-at-whoi.edu).

We are especially seeking taxonomic experts for any holozooplankton group(s) to join the CMarZ Species Page Contributors. As a CMarZ Species Page Contributor, you are encouraged to provide information on species in your taxonomic area of expertise in the following areas: descriptive morphology and imagery, size, distribution, ecology, and genetic information.  This is accomplished using web pages designed to accept your text and figures.  It then creates the Species Page when requested by a user.  These pages can be continuously and easily updated to provide the most accurate information possible as it becomes available.

Another group, the CMarZ Network, is an association of zooplankton taxonomists, ecologists, oceanographers, and others who are committed to working toward the goal of completing a global biodiversity of holozooplankton by 2010. Researchers, students, technical staff, and interested others are welcome.
