Coralreeffish.com
presents my research on coral reef fishes. I am mostly interested
in the early stages of these fishes- the pelagic larvae and
juveniles starting life on the reef. Little is known about
them and much remains to be discovered about all aspects of
their lives.
Why
a website? The web can promote science in many different ways.
It can certainly provide a central database for collating
information, epitomized by the large database of information
on fishes of all kinds at FishBase.
In addition, the internet can help disseminate the findings
of individual scientists, creating a virtual network of researchers'
data, conclusions, hypotheses and views. This more eclectic
vision of the transmission of scientific knowledge is essentially
a meta-level analytical tool, useful far beyond the classical
model.
I hope
to promote this form of communication by posting on this site
my publications, my raw data, inventories of my specimens,
summaries of projects, links and ideas. The data and specimens
are available for any collaborations.
