Recent Research Activities (2000 and beyond)
Hummon, W.D, M. A. Todaro & W.A. Evans. 2005. Video database for described
species of marine Gastrotricha. Meiofauna Marina, 14: yyy-zzz.
[Grey literature: A video database of 2,500 sequences has been developed using
high resolution video micrography that includes 40% of some 400 described
species of marine Gastrotricha, along with 100 species new to science, with
multiple sequences of a given species representing as many as six countries;
these have been converted from analog to digital format; those currently
available can be seen via a server at: http:/132.235.243.28 or
http:/hummon-nas.biosci.ohiou.edu/]
[Grey literature: A Global database for the marine Gastrotricha has been
provided to users via CD in 2001, revised in 2004, now available via the same
server at: http:/132.235.243.28 or
http:/hummon-nas.biosci.ohiou.edu/ This
database includes all species cross-referenced with all collection sites
throughout the world, with names as they were assigned and as we know them now,
along with many that have not yet been published; included are all of the
drawings and photographs that have ever been published, along with many that
have not yet been published].
