Hello, I am excited to have just discovered the Conch-L. My wife and I are novice amateur collectors of marine gastropods. We have just returned to California (and easy internet access) after 3.5 years cruising the tropical pacific on our sailboat. During the past 2 years we spent most of our time field collecting in remote areas. We have learned just enough to start asking lots of questions. We are very interested in species variability, behavior, habitat and distribution. The Conch-L appears to be a place we might find some answers! In addition to the Conch-L, can anyone direct me to other good conchological information resources? Are there any other good internet discussion groups? What publications and newsletters should I subscribe to? Thanks for your help.
