Network Members
If you have an interest in biodiversity research in Africa, Arabia and Asia please join the Network.
The more comprehensive the list, the more useful it will be. Please send your details to Paul Bates at pjjbates2@hotmail.com .
It is open to everyone, student, scientist, amateur enthusiast... Hopefully the Network will help you find potential partners for collaborative study in institutions throughout the Old World tropics and subtropics.
Entries are listed in alphabetical order by country and then by family (last) name. Researchers are included in the country within which their Institution/ University/ Museum is based and NOT by country of research interest - so a British scientist based at a German University studying mammals in Tanzania would be listed under Germany. Therefore it is necessary to read the 'Interests' section of each member to determine the scope, discipline and geographical area of their research.
We wish you luck with all your research!
