EcoAnalysts’ very own Dr. David Drumm strikes again with another publication of a marine crustacean species new to science. We encountered the species during a baseline environmental assessment of an offshore oil/gas lease in the Bay of Campeche area of the Gulf of Mexico, and it was the most dominant organism at the site. Dr. Drumm and his former graduate advisor from the University of Southern Mississippi, Dr. Richard Heard, recently published the paper in the scientific journal Zootaxa.

EcoAnalysts operates North America’s largest taxonomy services laboratory, with over 10,000 taxonomy samples being processed every year. When time allows, and with client permission, we enjoy publishing our findings in peer-reviewed journals to add to the body of scientific knowledge in the environmental assessment field.
