The Team
 
    The Systema Dipterorum team consists of two co-editors (Evenhuis & Pape) and a network of collaborators (now more than 60). The following is an alphabetical list of those who were signed up for the BioSystematic Database of World Diptera project team. We apologize to anybody who has volunteered but is not yet listed.  

We have here provided only the minimal information about our team members, such as their name, institution and location, and their role on the Systema Dipterorum team. Also, if they have a personal WWW page, then a link to it may be provided. Again, we apologize if the information is not fully up to date.

While the contribution of each member varies, each member is critical to the successful completion and continued maintenance of Systema Dipterorum. So we feel that all deserve the appropriate recognition and thanks of the whole Biodiversity Community for their combined effort to build an index and information portal to 10% of the known biological diversity of the World.


Warning: While we have used terms like "author" when only one person is responsible for a family taxon, "lead for" to identify the point person, who acts for a group of co- authors, and "contributor to" for co-authors, the final determination of authorship is not made until a family taxon is published. For those families which have been published as part of the Systema Dipterorum, the term author, qualified with a capital P in parentheses, is used for all authors.


Also, a number of people are here listed as they contributed to the 1988 Nearctic Diptera dataset, which was never formally published but was transferred to National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) and, hence, to ITIS. The words Nearctic 88 indicates this contribution.
