 Scientific Expertise James Cordeiro Brief Biography: James R. (Jay) Cordeiro joined NatureServe as Research Zoologist in 2001. In this position he maintains natural heritage data files for selected centrally tracked aquatic invertebrate groups (mussels, snails, crustaceans, odonates, mayflies, stoneflies, caddisflies) and terrestrial snails, including information on taxonomy, conservation status, distributional ecology, habitat, and management. He serves as the resident zoological information specialist on the above groups in consultation with NatureServe's member programs. From 1997 to 2001 he was Collections Manager for the American Museum of Natural History's Division of Invertebrate Zoology. Previously he was a Research Assistant with the University of Colorado Museum, a Wildlife Educator with the Massachusetts Audubon Society, and an Assistant Fisheries Biologist with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries. He has conducted field research in aquatic macroinvertebrate populations. Education: B.A., 1992: EPO Biology (University of Colorado - Boulder) M.B.S., 1997: Museum and Field Studies (University of Colorado - Boulder) Research Interests: Phylogeny, systematics, and distributional ecology of recent freshwater mollusks; particularly bivalves (Bivalvia: Unionoida).
