Dear taxonomist/specialist,

ETI would like to notify you that the World Taxonomist Database, recently has been improved. The following enhancements have been made:

1. The former Name field has been split into two more logical First and Last Name fields, which means your search results will now be displayed in a standardized sort order.

2. We have added a Title field in which you can enter your scientific title(s).

3. In addition to the taxonomic groups, the comments left by the taxonomist/specialist are now also searched, which means you can also query terms like "behaviour".

Because of these changes, we invite you to have a look at your entry, and to update/adjust it if necessary. Please enter your last name and full email address in the following form:

http://www.eti.uva.nl/Database/WTD/Update.html and apply changes where necessary.

I would like to conclude this mail with a request. Currently already over 2400 specialiasts are registered, but the more taxonomists are listed in the WTD, the more useful the database will be! Please forward this email to colleagues who haven't registered yet, so that they become aware of
this free service, located at:

Thank you! Best regards,
