The contribution of J. K. Lowry (1942–2021) to amphipod systematics: new and revisionary taxonomy

Abstract

James K. Lowry (1942–2021) was one of the most prolific crustacean taxonomists of the late 20th through early 21st century, authoring some 214 publications over a period of some 55 years in which he named some 800 new taxa including 5 suborders, 62 families, 129 genera, and 548 species of primarily amphipod crustaceans. The present work provides a complete list of Jim Lowry’s scientific publications along with the new taxa that he described therein.
