The taxonomy, systematics, evolution and ecology of Crustacea Peracarida. I have been sampling in both the Antarctic and Arctic, also at some deep-sea stations. I will sample this summer together with other colleagues the deep ANGOLA basin and on the background of my previous data and the new expedition I am very interested in latitudinal gradients in the deep sea as well. |

| Christopher Mah Dept. of Geology, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign |
mah@uiuc.edu | I work on the systematics, evolution and taxonomy of starfishes (Asteroidea). In the past I've worked on the Brisingida, a clade of deep-water starfishes and am currently focusing on the Goniasteridae. A group that includes many deep-water species, including Plinthaster, Peltaster, Nymphaster and others. |

Research interests: Taxonomy,
systematics and biology of marine polychaetes, especially the families Pholoidae, Cirratulidae, Chaetopteridae and Fauveliopsidae. Research requests: At present mainly shallow-water material from SW Greenland in the Frederikshaab/ Paamiut area, where Otto Fabricius worked in the 1700s, and from the Caribbean, especially Jamaica, the Virgin Islands (Loango near St. Thomas) and the Antilles. Deep-water material of any of the above families. Contact me for details. |
