Short presentation
I am in charge of the zoology collections at the Museum of Evolution, including the Linnaean historical collection (animal specimens from Linnaeus' collection or time in Uppsala).
My expertise in taxonomy is in sponges (Porifera), especially in the order Tetractinellida, a worldwide group of Demospongiae, particularly present in the deep-sea.
