Thomas A. Neubauer is a postdoctoral researcher at the Geological-Paleontological Department of the Natural History Museum Vienna, Austria. His current research focus is the reconstruction of species distribution patterns of freshwater gastropods during the Late Cenozoic, as part of the FreshGEN database project (www.marinespecies.org/freshgen). Above that, his research interests include the taxonomy and nomenclature of Cenozoic freshwater gastropods, as well as morphometric analyses and their applications in evolutionary studies.

Andreas Kroh is a researcher and curator at the Natural History Museum in Vienna, Austria. His main research interests are echinoderms, with focus on the phylogeny, nomenclature and systematics of echinoids. Being a paleontologist with a strong interest in bridging the gap between life and earth sciences, he is actively involved in various efforts to ease access to biodiversity and taxonomic data on echinoids. He is involved in two database projects working towards this goal: the World Echinoidea Database (marinespecies.org/echinoidea) and the Echinoid Directory (www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/research/projects/echinoid-directory).
