1 INTRODUCTION

This directory is a guide to experts able to identify organisms found inBritish Columbia. It provides a quick reference to the names and addresses ofthose people (and in some instances, companies) who can identify species inparticular groups, and who can identify collectively many of the diverseplants, animals, protists, bacteria, and fungi found in British Columbia’secosystems. These experts include professional taxonomists and systematistswho study and name species, as well as researchers, contractors, individualswho are experienced in species identification using available keys, andknowledgeable amateurs whose abilities have been recognized and recom-mended by professionals. Retired professionals are also listed because manyare still active in their fields of work. The objective in compiling this list wasnot to identify all experts in the field, but rather to identify at least some ofthe known experts for as many of British Columbia’s taxa as possible.

Please note that the inclusion in this directory of individuals or thecompanies they work for does not guarantee or imply their willingness toprovide services directly to readers. Directory users must first obtain theconsent of the expert to provide a service before they make any other ar-rangements for identification of material.

Experts are not identified for all species groups included here. For themost part, these gaps reflect a genuine lack of expertise. Some gaps, however,may reflect an oversight. In any case, with new species still being discoveredand many others remaining unnamed, the need for expertise will continue togrow. (Consider, for instance, that there are an estimated species ofinsects for every insect taxonomist.)

The directory is arranged by taxa (groups of related organisms) in phylo-genetic order, according to the five-kingdom system of higher classification(for taxonomic sources, see page ). In general, the groups are limited tothose represented in British Columbia. Within each taxon, lower taxa arepresented in increasing order of specificity, ending with the lowest level forwhich an expert is available, but not lower than family level. The order ofpresentation is:

KingdomPhylum (in animals) orDivision (in bacteria, plants, and fungi)

ClassOrder

FamilySome intermediate taxa are also included if they are important or if

they delineate groups covered by experts. Subgroups within each taxonare listed only if an expert is available for at least one of them. Forinstance, families within an order are not listed unless there is an expertwho specializes in at least one family in that order. A taxon for whichseveral experts are available is often not further divided into lower taxa.

Special No t ations Taxa shown in quotation marks represent historic,artificial groups of what are now known to be distantly related organisms.These artificial taxa often remain in use as a convenience until the phylo-genetic relationship of their components is sorted out.

1.1 How to Usethe Directory

To help the reader find the group to which the organism in question be-longs, some common names, examples, or short descriptions of the taxon areprovided in parentheses adjacent to the scientific name. Familiarity withmajor groups of organisms will facilitate the use of this directory.

Taxa encountered in bulk aquatic samples are marked with an asterisk (*).These organisms are included, along with the names of experts associatedwith them, in a separate supplemental list at the end of the directory. Thissupplement is arranged by habitat rather than phylogeny.

Recommended Approach Search the “Index to Major Taxa” on page tofind the page number corresponding to the start of the major group (taxon)that includes the organism in question. Beside the major groups in thedirectory there may be listed some “generalist” experts familiar with many orall of the subgroups within it.

• Contact a generalist first, if one is identified. This is especially important ifyou do not know which of the lower groups includes your organism.(Generalists are listed first, followed by specialists.)If no generalist is available, contact a “specialist” expert. He or she can atleast determine the family to which your organism belongs, and redirectyou to another specialist.An expert’s specialty or focus of study is often listed in brackets immedi-ately to the left of his or her name. In some cases experts appear in the listas both generalists and specialists if they have broad knowledge but areparticularly interested in certain lower taxa. In some cases the notedspecialties reflect a functional or habitat grouping rather than a phylo-genetic one (for instance, forest pathogens or aquatic vascular plants).

• Before sending away specimens for identification, obtain the prior consentof the expert or company. In some cases certain conditions must be metbefore the expert will accept your samples. The quality, quantity, andpreparation of specimens are common preconditions, as well as the avail-ability of time for providing the identifications. There may be a fee for theservice.

• If you are collecting new specimens for identification, contact the expertsor refer to the literature to determine how specimens should be properlycollected, handled, labelled, stored, and shipped. Otherwise, the samplesmay be rendered worthless.

Because the accuracy of identifications may require re-examination ofspecimens, and because species names are not static and may be revised asnew species are discovered or existing ones are split or lumped, it is impera-tive that voucher specimens be prepared when species inventories are beingcompiled. Voucher specimens are series of specimens of each species col-lected during a study. Each series is labelled as vouchers and deposited in,preferably, a recognized biosystematic collection for future reference.

The importance of voucher specimens is evident in the following hypo-thetical example. If your species A is later determined to consist of threespecies, A, B, and C, a series of specimens from your study must be examinedto determine which of these species were actually represented in your study.In addition, if the newly named species B is discovered to be among yourvoucher specimens, but it is no longer found in the area you surveyed, youmay reasonably conclude that it has been extirpated. Without the voucherspecimens this important change in species status might be overlooked.

1.2 VoucherSpecimens

Vouchers help avoid uncertainty in your data and prevent the need forresampling when taxonomic changes are made.
