Dear Annelidans,
Since a quick check of the database below showed that many countries
with good polychaete taxonomists are not represented, I take the liberty of
bringing this to your attention now. You do not need to be afraid you will be
flooded with requests, but you will be available to serious colleagues who
are not aware of PRO. Moreover, if you have Research Requests, these
can be included under Comments to (hopefully) reach a wider audience.
Also, if your PRO entry needs to be updated, please do so. I use this
database a lot to try to put colleagues in touch with one another, but often
the contact details are outdated and the person cannot be reached.
Best regards,
Mary

Subject: Update World Taxonomist Database
Dear taxonomist/specialist,
ETI would like to notify you that the World Taxonomist Database, in which
you are registered, recently has been improved. The following
enhancements have been made:
1. The former Name field has been split into two more logical First and
Last Name fields, which means your search results will now be displayed in
a standardized sort order.
2. We have added a Title field in which you can enter your scientific
title(s).
3. In addition to the taxonomic groups, the comments left by the
taxonomist/specialist are now also searched, which means you can also
query terms like "behaviour".
Because of these changes, we invite you to have a look at your entry, and
to update/adjust it if necessary. Please enter your last name and full email
address in the following form:
http://www.eti.uva.nl/Database/WTD/Update.html
and apply changes where necessary.
I would like to conclude this mail with a request. Currently already over
2400 specialiasts are registered, but the more taxonomists are listed in the
WTD, the more useful the database will be! Please forward this email to
colleagues who haven't registered yet, so that they become aware of this
free service, located at: http://www.eti.uva.nl/Database/WTD.html
Thank you! Best regards,
Ruud Altenburg
