Editorial Review Board

For 2023, the Editorial Review Board includes Mark Edlund, Marina Potapova, Sylvia Lee, Ian Bishop, Paula Furey, Eci Jovanovska and Sarah Spaulding.

The role of the board is to maintain the scientific merit of species pages submitted by expert contributors. The members of the board and reviewers guide the content of taxon pages. Each member is responsible for recommending treatment of genera within their respective group.

Each species page has been reviewed by at least one reviewer or board member before it is posted. The board helps to develop species pages by recommending species or groups of taxa for inclusion in the database and guides the reviewers. The composition of the board and contributors overlap, but clearly a species page must be reviewed by someone not involved in composing that page.
