Autorenporträt

George O. Poinar Jr obtained his Ph.D. from Cornell University where he specialised in insect-parasitic nematodes. He then conducted postdoctoral investigations with nematologists in England, France and The Netherlands. During his 30 years at UC Berkeley, Dr Poinar conducted research on nematode parasites of invertebrates and began investigating amber fossils. He is currently continuing these studies at Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, USA. Dr Poinar has published extensively on nematodes as well as amber fossils and has authored or co-authored several books on the subjects. The present work is a fusion of his interest in nematodes and amber.
