This site is a resource for the collaborative study of nematode systematics, with an emphasis on marine free-living nematodes. I am not approving other users yet as I am am not certain what their role will be. My first efforts with the scratchpad will be to use it as a specimen database for my own research, but if and when I expand it and there are things that other users might be interested in and can contribute to I will begin to approve them.
