For some years my main interest as an Olividae/Olivellidae specialist is
with the Caribbean Oliva species. It is an extreme difficult puzzle of
which I think to notice the big picture: many different species and
subspecies with large ranges of intraspecific variation.

The strategy is to map out as many known populations as possible. After
that type study (Duclos, Marrat, Petuch&Sargent etc.)and last but not
least dna sequencing in order to confirm or reject the results of the
morphological study.

Without exaggaration, I need to study thousands of lots... Data and/or
material is most welcome! (Bermuda, Jamaica, Mexico, Cuba, etc.). I can
offer Olividae/Olivellidae for exchange or at least pay the shipping
costs.

Thanks in advance!
