In particular many taxonomists have pledged their time and assistance providing identifications for specimens collected during the project. We also have to recognize the growing number of people helping out with fieldwork, and donating specimens to the project. We would like to publicly and sincerely thank these many biologists for their help: Taxonomic specialists Rolf Aalbu - Tenebrionidae Robert Anderson - Curculionoidea Fred Andrews - Latridiidae Cheryl Barr - Dryopoidea Richard Beal - Dermestidae Robert Beiriger - Bostrichidae Chuck Bellamy - Buprestoidea Marc Branham - Lampyridae Don Chandler - Anthicidae, Aderidae, Pselaphinae John Chemsak - Cerambycidae Anthony Cognato - Scolytinae Art Evans - Scarabaeoidea Gil Challet - Dytiscidae Ian Foley - Zopherinae Art Gilbert - Chrysomelidae Vladimir Gusarov - Staphylinidae Gene Hall - Ptiliidae Chris Hartley - Latridiidae Frank Hovore - Cerambycidae, Pleocomidae Mike Ivie - Bostrichidae, Zopheridae, Eucinetidae (etc!)
