Dear ANNELIDA readers:
As a part of my dissertation research, I want to build molecular phylogenies
for several genera of pinnotherid crabs, which are all small, symbiotic crabs
that reside with or on other metazoans. Several of my target genera are
symbiotic with polychaetes and other burrowing worms, and I hope that
members of the ANNELIDA list might be able to help me in my search for
specimens. If any of you have, or can collect, members of those genera for
me, or if you know someone who might be able to help, I'd be eternally
grateful. I will happily trade local specimens (from any taxon available!), and
I'd be happy to pay for packing materials, shipping or postage.
My "wish list" of specimens I'd like to get is below. Because I'm extracting
DNA, they should be fixed in high-concentration (70%-100%) ethanol.
Many, many thanks for your assistance! Please feel free to forward this list
to others who might be able to help.
Best wishes,
