Memorial Series

We dedicate this series of publications on Gastrotricha to the memory of Dr. William Dale Hummon who passed away on January 1, 2017. Bill was a wonderful person and inspiration to the meiofaunal community. He will be sorely missed.

At right, Bill appears to propose a toast to meiobenthologists around the globe (but actually is just performing an extraction).
