We need to get in contact with experts in the taxonomy of cumaceans and tanaidaceans, preferably from European waters. Names or contact resources will be appreciated.
.
Try Salma Shalla, she's on linkedin and has four publications on researchgate.
I can help you with her provisional key on British Cumaceans, but I do not have her email-adress.
Dr. Richard Heard works on Tanaidaceans at the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory in Mississippi.
Maybe the authors of 'Diversity of Tanaidacea (Crustacea: Peracarida) in the World's Oceans – How Far Have We Come?' are interested to assist. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0033068
In 2010, Roger Bamber kindly checked the ID of a Tanaid specimen for me.
For tanaids you can also ask two specialists at the University of Lodz, Poland: Piotr Jozwiak (http://invertebrates.uni.lodz.pl/en/?page_id=83) and/or Magdalena Błażewicz-Paszkowycz (http://invertebrates.uni.lodz.pl/en/?page_id=400). Roger Bamber is also a specialist but seems to be in the hospital and unably to reply.
Besides, for Tanaidacea you can contact:
Kim Larsen - CIMAR/CIIMAR (Centro interdisciplinar de Investigação Marinha e Ambiental), LMCEE (Laboratory for Marine Community Ecology and Evolution), Rua dos Bragas 289, 4050-123 Porto, Portugal. E-mail: [email protected]
Patricia Esquete - Departamento de Ecología y Biología Animal, Facultad de Ciencias del Mar, Universidad de Vigo, E-36310 Vigo, Pontevedra, Spain. [email protected].
Gary Anderson for tanaids in US waters. He is an editor for the WoRMS taxon. http://www.usm.edu/biological-sciences/gary-anderson
