3 247 Curriculum Vitae Adriaan Gittenberger was born March 17th, 1976, in Leiden. After his education at the city gymnasium (ß), he started studying Biology at Leiden University in He acquired his MSc in 1999 (cum laude), with a specialization in taxonomy, ecology and molecular biology and a preference for marine biology. To increase his abilities, he followed from lectures in 'Computer Science' at Leiden University. Additional courses that were attended are: 'Linnaeus II', by the Expert Centre for Taxonomic Identification, Amsterdam (1999); Implementing SQL 7.0 & Java 2.0, SUN certified programmer, by AtosOrigin, Utrecht (2000); 'Marine Biodiversity Data Management', by UNESCO, MARBEF & IODE, Flanders Marine Institute, Ostend, Belgium (2006) ; Course in Taxonomy and Biology of Tunicates, by The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Bocas Research Station, Bocas del Toro, Panama (2006). Before the research project that resulted in the present thesis could begin, he worked for one year ( ) as Project Leader & Software Engineer with AtosOrigin, Utrecht, on the development of the Configuration Management Database for the Philips Global Network. In the period he worked as a researcher on a variety of short term projects related to marine invasive species and/or marine biodiversity for the ANEMOON foundation, Expert Centre for Taxonomic Identification, European Invertebrate Survey, Institute of Environmental Sciences, Central Bureau of Statistics, National Museum of Natural History Naturalis, Paris National Museum of Natural History, and the Smithsonian Marine Invasions Laboratory (Smithsonian Environmental Research Center). A grant of the WOTRO foundation gave the opportunity to acquire a position at the National Museum of Natural History Naturalis to work on the subject of this thesis from 2000 on. Additional grants were received from: (1997) KNAW, Jan Joost ter Pelkwijkfonds, LUF and LUSTRA; (2000) KNAW; (2004) Jan Joost ter Pelkwijkfonds and Alida M. Buitendijk Fonds; (2005) Woodshole Oceanographic Institution, and NWO. Since 2005 he is a Researcher at the National Museum of Natural History Naturalis for the EU-funded MarBEF and BioCoMBE projects ( & Most of his activities and functions are in one way or another related to the marine environment: Coordinator (since 1998) of the Marine Monitoring Projects MOO (since 1998) and SETL (since 2006) of the ANEMOON Foundation ( The MOO-project was honoured with the Dutch Underwater Sports Association NOB 2000 Science award. The SETL project is an international fouling community study organized in cooperation with the Marine Invasions Laboratory of the Smithsonian Environmental Research Institution, USA, the National Museum of Natural History Naturalis, Leiden, and the Institute of Environmental Sciences, Leiden University. Board member of the SeaFoundation (since 2006). With its multidisciplinary methodology the Seafoundation focuses on combining the hydrographical, biological, environmental, chemical and technological knowledge present in universities, schools, research institutes, fisheries, industrial companies and other foundations. As such the SeaFoundation works as an intermediate and promoter of projects concerning the marine environment worldwide, keeping the People, Planet, Profit concept in mind. Webmaster (since 2000) of the websites on Gastropod Parasites and their Coral Hosts (since 2000) ( and The Dutch Ascidians Homepage (since 2000) ( com) President ( ), secretary ( ) and CMAS dive-instructor (since 2000) of the Scuba Diving Club LOV Calypso, Leiden, The Netherlands. Organizer (since 2006) of the Flora & Fauna Square at the annual National scuba-diving fair Duikvaker, representing Dutch organizations and institutes with a marine research department, (ANEMOON Foundation, North Sea Foundation, Underwater Biology Foundation, National Museum of Natural History

4 248 Naturalis, Leiden University, Groningen University and Rotterdam Zoo) and the Sea Day Symposium for the European Invertebrate Survey (EIS), The ANE- MOON Foundation and the National Museum of Natural History Naturalis (2006). Active membership of the National Exotic Species Workgroup (since 2005) of The Netherlands Flemish Ecological Society & Workgroup Ecological Water Management and a member of the steering committee of the KaBar project (since 2005) of the Flemish institute for technological research (VITO), Belgium. ( His special interest in ascidians, demonstrated in for example the Dutch Ascidians Homepage, resulted in contacts with: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, California, USA; University of Rhode Island, Graduate School of Oceanography, Narragansett, Rhode Island, USA; Nori Satoh Lab, Division of Molecular and Evolutionary Developmental Biology, Kyoto, Japan; Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Corson Hall, Ithaca, USA; Department of Neuroscience, Uppsala University, Sweden; Jyväskyla University, Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences, Jyväskyla, Finland; Marine Biology Section, Marine Department, Ghent University, Belgium; Laboratory of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Napoli, Italy. His underwater photos, mainly but far from exclusively of ascidians, were used in popular and scientific journals, like Cell (2001), De Ingenieur (2005), Duiken (2006), Duikkrant (2001), Duikmagazine (2005, 2006), Mare (2005), Médécine Sciences (2003, 2006), Naturwissenschaftliche Rundschau (2003) and Vita Malacologica (2004), in books by R. Leewis (2002, 2005) and R.P. Olinsji (2006), and in calendars of Bureau Waardenburg (2001, 2002, 2003). His interests and expertise extend from fieldwork, as a licensed, 2 star CMAS Dive Instructor, to the practical and theoretical work for molecular phylogeny reconstruction. For a varied audience of both amateurs, students and scientists 20 lectures on various aspects of marine biodiversity were given during the period The first price for the best student oral presentation was awarded at the World Congress of Malacology, Perth, Australia (2004), and the distinction for best oral presentation was granted at the PhD-Day of the Research School Biodiversity, Leiden (2004).
