I am interested in finding North American experts in the genera Polycelis or Seidlia? Is anyone in North America working on these groups? In particular I am interested in researchers familiar with distribution, taxonomy, and general biology of these organisms. I am aware of many papers looking at developmental/regenerative tissue studies... but this is not my current interest.
To my knowledge, nobody is working on triclads in N. America these days in the field you are interested in. But have a look at http://turbellaria.umaine.edu/; perhaps you find answers to your questions. Succes!
Dr. Schockaert,
Thank you for the reply. Only recently have I made progress on my literature searches and become more familiar with your work and that of Dr. Tyler in Maine (forgive me, these critters are not my normal area of study). In particular, I am interested in assessing the distribution of S. remota in Massachusetts (USA), and in finding researchers who may be interested in collaboration and/or expert advisement. Is there a general text you can recommend for collection, and preservation methods of free living planarians?
Best,
Peter Hazelton
