There...Thanks for the link Rod, that's awesome. There's just so little known about this species (and others from its family).<br /><br />There's so much more cool things that we can find out about these crazy snails - comparative genetics, evo-devo, or just some basic eco-parasitology.<br /><br />If I find out that there's a location where these parasites are commonly found and I can find interested collaborators, I'm putting together a grant proposal!Tommy Leunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421993204602775597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094038346173044955.post-63867071273443131552010-01-24T14:23:12.166-05:002010-01-24T14:23:12.166-05:00Cool blog!

The original description of <i>Enteroxenos oestergreni</i> has been scanned by BHL, I've extracted the article <a href="http://biostor.org/reference/14729" rel="nofollow">Enteroxenos östergreni, ein neuer, in Holothurien schmarotzender Gastropode</a> as part of my BioStor project. The paper is by Kristine Bonnevie, who -- according to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristine_Bonnevie" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a> -- was Norway's first woman professor.Roderic Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00269598293846172649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094038346173044955.post-91509295728078293442010-01-24T13:41:12.026-05:002010-01-24T13:41:12.026-05:00Great series!
