Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Selden is an international authority on fossil arthropods who has made outstanding contributions towards our understanding of how these animals first emerged onto land over 400 million years ago, as well as documenting major evolutionary advances among spiders and their arachnid relatives. During his stay in Germany Professor Selden plans to collaborate with his host on a major textbook about fossil arachnids, as well as the relevant volume of the world-renowned Treatise on Invertebrate Palaeontology - a publication series for which he is also Editor-in-Chief.
