Philippe Bouchet
Dr. Philippe Bouchet (born 1953) is a French scientist, a zoologist whose primary scientific field of study is malacology. He is a senior professor at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, and is head of the Malacology laboratory and the Taxonomy Collections Unit there.[1] He is also one of the Commissioners of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature and has been a member of the ICZN since 1990.[2]
Philippe Bouchet is co-editor of several volumes in the Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos series [3]
In 2005, Bouchet was the senior author (editor) (with Jean-Pierre Rocroi) of a new taxonomy of the class Gastropoda, published in a paper entitled "Classification and Nomenclator of Gastropod Families" published in the journal Malacologia.[4] This taxonomy is shown in the Wikipedia article "Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005)".
In 2001 Bouchet was awarded the Marine Sciences Prize of the French Academy of Sciences for his work on the vertical migration of gastropod larvae.[2]
Bouchet is the head of the 2004 Panglao Marine Biodiversity Project.[1]
By the end of 2010, Bouchet had described (alone or together with others) more than 500 new species, mainly gastropods. [5][6] More than 70 new species have been named in his honor.[7] Bouchet was honored with a new genus named after him by Houart & Héros in 2008: Bouchetia [8]
