Contributor Cor Vink was born and educated in Christchurch, New Zealand. He completed a Ph.D. at Lincoln University on the taxonomy and systematics of New Zealand Lycosidae, a major part of which was published as a revision as Fauna of New Zealand 44. After completing his thesis he spent nine months at AgResearch as a postdoctoral research fellow investigating the genetics of hymenopteran parasitoids of weevil pests. From 2003 to 2005, Cor was a postdoctoral associate at San Diego State University, U.S.A., where he worked on developing new molecular markers for inferring deep phylogenetic relationships in spiders. At the end of 2005 he returned to New Zealand and joined the Biosecurity Group at AgResearch, Lincoln where he is currently employed as a scientist. Cor is especially interested in the systematics of New Zealand spiders and he is the adjunct curator of spiders at the Entomology Research Museum at Lincoln University. He has recently published an annotated key to the spider families of New Zealand with Pierre Paquin and Nadine Dupérré.
Contributor Nadine Dupérré is from Québec, Canada. She completed a Bachelor of Science at Université de Montréal in 1997. She began illustrating spiders in 1998 and to date has produced over 5000 illustrations. Nadine is probably best known amongst arachnologists for her illustrations in the book “Spiders of North America: an Identification Manual”. Nadine has published on the taxonomy of spiders and has also produced illustrations for publications on beetles and harvestmen. Nadine is a research assistant at the American Museum of Natural History, New York where she works on Oonopidae with Norman Platnick. She recently published an annotated key to the spider families of New Zealand with Pierre Paquin and Cor Vink.
