SNAIL'S TALES: No job openings in malacology today skip to main | skip to sidebar ❋ AYDIN (2009)
Is it because jobs in malacology are hard to come by? ❋ AYDIN (2009)
By the time he died in 1834 he was considered the founder of the study of mollusks in North America (the term "malacology" didn't replace "conchology" until much later, when scientists started to pay at least as much attention to the insides of mollusks as to the more durable shells). ❋ Unknown (2010)
We are continuing our research in this field of cutting edge malacology. ❋ AYDIN (2009)
Earlier today, while looking up some papers in The Nautilus from 1971, I chanced upon a short article by the late malacologist Dee Dundee titled United States research trends in malacology (85: 67-69; pdf of vol 85). ❋ AYDIN (2009)
Those were the formative years of malacology when even the broadest classifications of most of the mollusc species were debatable. ❋ AYDIN (2009)
But now I think about, even the thriving malacology departments I've known tend to be inhabited by the decidedly elderly. ❋ AYDIN (2009)
I know you were joking, but this is exciting malacology. ❋ AYDIN (2009)
He was allowed to continue to practice malacology while stationed in France, where he kept more than 30 containers of live gastropods under his bed. ❋ AYDIN (2008)
Webb, a naturalist from his childhood, appears to have taken up malacology in his late teens when he and his family lived in Indiana. ❋ AYDIN (2008)
Webb, but I have an almost complete photocopied set of his self-published malacology journal Gastropodia. ❋ AYDIN (2008)
In this post back in December 2007, I wrote that I was reviewing a manuscript for the open-access malacology journal Malacologica Bohemoslovaca published by the Institute of Zoology at the Slovak Academy of Sciences. ❋ AYDIN (2008)
Each being but a small bit of data, often merely an adventitious entry in a continuum of log-books of observations, the entirety is hoped to provide enough substance to justify its addition to the records of malacology. ❋ AYDIN (2008)
Walker, a junior at the University of Michigan at that time, survived the "earthquake" and had a long career in law and a successful avocation in malacology with 155 publications, while his coauthor Beecher went on to become professor of geology at Yale University until his untimely death in 1904. ❋ AYDIN (2008)
This provided the impetus to read about an ongoing controversy in American malacology centered upon this species: is L. littorea native to the northeast coasts of North America or was it introduced by humans from Europe? ❋ AYDIN (2008)
