Anthozoologist List (young)

by | Apr 22, 2016

The Young Anthozoologists…

… are a group of young scientists working with anthozoans. This group was founded in 2003 and first met during the VII the Coelenterate Congress which took place in Lawrence, Kansas, in July 2003. Especially when studying the taxonomy of anthozoans, many of us were working quite isolated, often lacking colleagues to discuss with. Especially for the soft-bodied hexacorals (Actiniaria, Corallimorpharia, Zoanthidae and Ceriantharia) that have no hard structures such as skeleton or spicules, a founded identification requires a lot of experience. However, there are only a handful of experts left from whom we can learn and whom we can ask for advice. Most of them agreed to be mentors of this group. This website should be a platform to maintain and enhance the contact.

I am aware that this list is NOT complete, so please let me know if you notice any errors or if information is missing or has to be updated.
