INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MEIOBENTHOLOGISTS

APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP OR RENEWAL

The International Association of Meiobenthologists is a non-profit scientific society representing meiobenthologists in all aquatic disciplines. The Association is dedicated to the dissemination of information by publishing a quarterly newsletter and sponsoring a triennial International Conference. The newsletter, Psammonalia, is published mid- month in January and July. Membership is open to any person who actively is interested in the study of meiofauna. Annual membership dues are EU$10 (US$10) and payment for up to 3 years in advance is possible. New members will receive Psammonalia beginning with the January issue of the year joining. Additional contributions to the Bertil Swedmark Fund, used to support student attendance at the triennial conferences, is encouraged.
