 Freshwater ostracods
Out of print for some time, my 1990 book 'Freshwater Ostracods' is now available on CD-Rom, with the original high-quality images, plus fully searchable and cross-referenced text.

Long-term studies in the Bristol Channel
We are now entering our 21st year of study of fish and crustacean abundance in the Bristol Channel, England. A recent development has been the Dynamica software to explore population dynamics.

 Amazonian studies
Visit my review of the Families of Amazonian Fish.
Work is continuing with Projeto Mamiraua on the aquatic ecology of floodplains. A number of recent publications on fish and evolution within these systems have been produced. A stunning multimedia CD exploration of the Amazonian fish has also been produced, accompanied by a large collection of fish and habitat photos.

 Diversity and Species Richness
Studies are being undertaken on diversity and species richness in aquatic systems. An investigation is underway on the application of recently developed species richness estimators. Work is focusing on stopping rules to decide when sufficient sampling has been completed to estimate species richness. As part of these studies a computer program to calculate species diversity and richness has been produced by the partnership of Pisces Conservation Ltd and Projeto Mamiraua
