This page lists the most recent updates to the Crayfish Home Page web site.

 Future Updates and Directions:

bullet I still need to gather information on European and Australasian species so that the phylogeny pages for these species can be completed.
bullet I am currently working on a searchable reference database.  This database includes the entire Smithsonian Crayfish Bibliography (16,000+ references) and papers published subsequent to this work (1990-present).   The crayfish reference submission page is also under construction.  It is my hope that users will be able to use this page to contribute citation information on papers that do not yet appear in the reference database.  In this way we can build the crayfish reference database into the most complete source available for any organism.  I am also working on a way to serve PDF files of these references to users by using the aforementioned searchable database.
   

 Most Recent Update:

13 Aug 2003

   
bullet Web site search function is now available.

01Jan03

   
bullet The Crayfish Checklist pages have been updated and coverage is now worldwide and includes all countries where crayfishes are found (both native and introduced species).  Links on these pages also now point to the phylogeny pages where additional information can be obtained about each species.
bullet  I have also added a new Crayfish References page so that visitors can download and/or print many different papers that relate to crayfishes.  This includes many of the older papers by Faxon, Hagen, and Ortmann (among others).  Additional papers will be added as they become available. 

 All Previous Updates:

23May02 - Added links to Adobe PDF files of hard to find crayfish references.
