| 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.
|
 |
As a CMarZ Network member, you may: |
| • request access
to zooplankton
samples from other CMarZ Network members;
• participate in CMarZ cruises
and cooperating projects (by prior approval);
• request recommendations for
and assistance from CMarZ expert taxonomists;
• request DNA barcoding of identified
specimens from CMarZ laboratories; and
• receive email updates
on CMarZ meetings, activities, and opportunities. |
 |
As a CMarZ Network member, you will be
encouraged to: |
| • provide information
to CMarZ on cruise and collection opportunities in your region;
• collect zooplankton samples in
your region;
• preserve samples following the
CMarZ protocols;
• assist with or arrange for taxonomic analysis of
samples collected;
• archive the samples;
• create voucher specimens for
identified species;
• generate DNA barcodes or provide
specimens for DNA barcoding; and
• submit all data from sample collection
and analysis to the CMarZ database. |
 |
We are especially seeking the participants
for the CMarZ Taxonomic Network, including taxonomic experts for
any holozooplankton group(s). As a CMarZ expert taxonomist, you
will be encouraged to: |
|
• confirm identification
of species in your taxonomic and geographic area of expertise;
• collaborate on global surveys
of selected groups or species of zooplankton;
• prepare inventories of species
for selected regions or groups;
• prepare a bibliography for
selected regions or groups; and
• request funding from CMarZ for
specific projects.
|
| Another opportunity for Zooplankton
Taxonomists is to become a Species
Page Contributor. In this capacity, you will
provide information for the creation of species
pages in your area of expertise. If you are interested in
becoming a Species Page Contributor, please fill out the form. |
