Research

          Propeamussiidae                     Cyclochlamydidae                           Pectinidae

           (glass-scallops)                          (micro-scallops)                        (macro-scallops)

My research mainly concerns studies on the nomenclature, taxonomy and zoogeography of the worldwide living scallops (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Pectinoidea). A major focus of my research has been to determine the identity and relationships of bathyal pectinoideans, particularly those sampled by French cruises to the tropical Indo-Pacific.

Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778)     Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829)      Ignaz von Born (1742-1791)          Georg Wolfgang Knorr (1705-1761)

Second interest is in historical malacology, which resulted in publications on type material described by Linnaeus (1758-1771), Lamarck (1819) and Born (1778-1780), and the five editions of Knorr's "Vergnügen der Augen..." (1757-1792).
