Goose Barnacles: Collaborators

With graduate training in protozoology and herpetology respectively, the unlikely team of Jeffries and Voris, audaciously began research on pedunculate barnacles of the genus Octolasmis in the mid-seventies. Our curiosity, interest, and enthusiasm were stimulated and sustained by opportunities to research the intra- and inter-phyletic symbioses, those intimate relationships between different species, which characterize the life cycles of all members of the genus Octolasmis. We wish to acknowledge the support and encouragement of John Costlow and Bill Newman, especially at the outset when we most needed assistance, and Ray Manning who always was a friendly, constant source of information and cogent counsel. We wish to thank our international colleagues, Mrs. C. M. Yang and her staff at the National University of Singapore, and Mr. Sombat Poovachiranon and all the support personnel at the Phuket Marine Biology Center, Phuket, Thailand, for sponsoring our research in their countries. In the U.S. we wish to thank the generation of Dickinson College students and volunteers at the Field Museum of Natural History who did so much to carry out the research effort.
