The Team

   Assembling the euteleost tree of life (EToL) and educating the public about its importance requires the collaboration of many investigators with expertise in fish systematics, molecular biology, morphology, phylogenetic analysis, bioinformatics, high-end computing, and informal education. Many participants of this project fall into two or more of these categories. Participants form a network with excellent working relationships developed through previous collaborations. Our working group includes:

• Richard Broughton, University of Oklahoma, PI
• Kent Carpenter, Old Dominion University, Co-PI
• Judy Diamond, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Co-PI
• Terry Grande, Loyola University Chicago, Co-PI
• Nancy Holcroft, University of Kansas, Co-PI
• Chenhong Li, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Co-PI
• Andres López, University of Florida, Co-PI
• Gouqing Lu, University of Nebraska-Omaha, Co-PI
• Guillermo Orti, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Co-PI
• W. Leo Smith, Field Museum of Natural History, Co-PI
• E. O. Wiley, University of Kansas, Co-PI
• Wendy Gram, University of Oklahoma, Collaborator
• Daniel Hough, University of Oklahoma, Collaborator
• G. David Johnson, Smithsonian Institution, Collaborator
• Teresa MacDonald, University of Kansas, Collaborator
• Henry Neeman University of Oklahoma, Collaborator
• Judy Scotchmoor, U.C. Berkeley, Collaborator
• Amy Spiegel, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Collaborator

   The project will be organized into four major components, each with its corresponding research groups and group leader (leader is listed first, with others listed alphabetically):

• Molecular group : Broughton, Carpenter, Li, Lopez, Orti, Smith.
• Morphology group : Wiley, Grande, Holcroft, Johnson.
• Data management and phylogenetic analysis group : Orti, Broughton, Hough, Li, Lopez, Lu, Neeman, Wiley.
• Education and broader impact : Diamond, Broughton, Gram, McDonald, Orti, Scotchmoor, Spiegel, Wiley.
