End of June/beginning of July, the B02 cluster received a visit from silverfish specialist John Irish from Namibia. John is a collaborator on our subproject and his visit involved intensive three weeks of work on Maindroniidae specimens collected in South America over the last five years. John's extensive morphological studies will bring some taxonomic order to the perplexing diversity of Maindronias. His studies, complemented by our extensive molecular investigations, will transform our understanding of this ancient group of desert specialists.
