Other Activities
&#8226;	Founder and chair of the Scarabaeinae Research Network (www.scarabnet.org), an international team of collaborating dung beetle systematists, ecologists, and conservationists. The network is dedicated to developing the informational and methodological tools needed to support the use of dung beetles as an invertebrate biodiversity focal taxon.
&#8226;	Scientific chair and lead organizer for international symposium at AMNH (March 2004) on invertebrate biodiversity conservation entitled, &#8220;Expanding the Ark: The Emerging Science and Practice of Invertebrate Conservation,&#8221; that led to the formation of the Expanding the Ark Coalition, a network of over 40 researchers and conservationists dedicated to improving the representation of invertebrates in conservation practice
&#8226;	Assembled a network of over 60 collaborating vertebrate and invertebrate taxonomists and systematists to support biodiversity surveys in the Bolivian Andes in 2000-2003 that has curated thousands of specimens and led to the description of dozens of new taxa.
