The decline of Invertebrate Zoology

[Ken Halanych]

I echo the resent comments that Texas AM at Galveston's decision about 
invertebrate biology is distressing.  I think the people that need to hear 
this is the Marine Biology Department at Texas AM. Based on the web page 
(http://www.marinebiology.edu/) it seems like the department is probably 
stronger in vertebrates than in invertebrates...which may help explain their 
(misguided) decision.  



the department head is Gilbert Rowe
