Dear all,
I am Bineesh doing research on deepsea fish diversity at Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Cochin, India. As a part of my PhD degree, I am doing barcoding deepsea fishes from India. so I had collected many rare species in deeper as well in reef also. Many fishes showing morphological differensis from the specimens from the type locality. if anybody interested to clarify this changes by using barcodes, please reply to me.

Hello all
I am Priscila Chaverri, assistant professor at University of Maryland (College Park, Maryland, USA). I work with systematics, taxonomy, and phylogenetics of fungi, more specifically with the order Hypocreales. I am now collaborating with the Fungal Working Group in developing a proposal for the fungal barcode.
Most of my work is with neotropical fungi and I hope to find other mycologists in Latin America that are interested in collaborating with CBOL. The next Latin American Mycological Congress will take place in San Jose, Costa Rica, 18-21 July, 2011. During the Congress, we will have a discussion session on the fungal barcoding efforts with the goal of creating a network in Central and South America.

Hello everyone! I am very glad to participate in the communication and collaboration of DNA barcoding on a global scale. My name is Yong Wang, and now I work in Guizhou University, Guizhou Province of China. I am very interested in the morphological identification and molecular phylogeny of hyphomycetes, most of whose telemorph are Dothideomycetes. For a long time, a large number of hyphomycetes are identified and described only based on morphological characters. However, many of members in this fungal group in fact are not monophyly at generic or species level. The conflicts between morphology and molecular phylogeny are very discomforting in this research field. I believe the DNA barcoding method will become an effective tool to resolve the taxonomic confusion of hyphomycetes and to achieve the goal of one species with one name for fungi. The most important things are to determine what should be standard barcode regions for hyphomycetes and the most appropriate length of DNA sequence. I would like to explore this topic in these years, and also to know who is interested in this research field. If so, we could cooperate and exchange valuable information of strains (for example, DNA sequence and fungal strains).

Hi everyone!
My name is Tuan. I am a post graduate student at the Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute based at University of Pretoria, South Africa. I am currently working on fungal genetics and taxonomy. I interest in different aspects of fungal barcoding. It is nice to meet all of you here and hope to learn and exchange knowledge with you all.
Regards,
Tuan

Hello,
My name is Pranay Sharma, from University of Adelaide, South Australia. Currently pursuing PhD in Earth and Environmental Science.
My research focuses on cataloging biodiversity of Zooplankton (freshwater bodies) for 2 reservoirs using genetics ( especially DNA Bar code) and morphological description. More more information on my project please go to http://connect.barcodeoflife.net/profile/PranaySharma415.

Dear All,
My name is Peter Huemer and I work at the Tiroler Landesmuseum in Innsbruck (Austria). Based on the largest collection of alpine Lepidoptera we are now engaged in barcoding of Leps from this area and other European mountain systems. I expect (and we already found) several cryptic species and I would be particularly interested in studies with a similar focus - speciation in mountain systems. Furthermore we plan to evaluate our data and those of co-workes on a transcontinetal scale, particularly dealing with artic-alpine fauna. Co-operation is not only welcome but crucial for this work!
Best wishes,
Peter

Thank you Kris.
I am working in the field of avian physiology and its associated events (chronobiology). My main study is focus on the biological clock of the bird. After having the experience of gathering the field data and collection of birds, I am thinking of working on the taxonomic data base of the birds of my region (North-East India ,one among the hotspots of the world). I am very new in this field, recently i started this work.
With regard.

Hello,
My name is Matt Bowser, Entomologist at the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, Soldotna, Alaska. I am not a DNA barcoding expert, but I am hoping to make use of developing DNA barcoding methods for use in inventorying and monitoring arthropod biodiversity on the Refuge. We plan to start by building up a library of DNA barcodes from specimens in our arthropod collection using classical barcoding methods. Later, we plan to incorporate environmental sampling methods as part of our more comprehensive Long Term Ecological Monitoring Plan on the Refuge.
My purposes for joining connect.barcodeoflife.net are to seek collaboration for this kind of work and to learn how others are tackling similar projects.
My taxonomic focus is the bristletails (Microcoryphia or Archaeognatha), especially of northwestern North America, though I do not really consider myself an expert. I am also interested in Opiliones from the same region.

Am Rebecca Nakacwa working with National Agricultural Research Laboratories, National Biotechnology Research Laboratory, Kawanda, Uganda. lam interested in DNA barcoding of soil nematodes and use them as bio-indicators of soil health in transgenic fields and other environments.
l hope to get collaborators, get to know people in the same fields, grants information, help others to learn the technique etc
