Polish paleobiologist
Andrzej Pisera is a Polishpaleoecologist and researcher of fossil and modernred algae ,echinoderms , andsponges .
Pisera studied at theFaculty of Geology, University of Warsaw , where he received his master’s degree in 1974. Since 1981, his career has been associated with theInstitute of Paleobiology, Polish Academy of Sciences , where he earned his PhD in 1986 and habilitation in 1998.[ 1] Fulbright Foundation scholar.[ 2] [ 1] [ 3] World Porifera Database , a subproject of theWorld Register of Marine Species .[ 4]
Scientific achievements [ edit ] Significance in the history of science [ edit ] Pisera is co-author ofSystema Porifera , an authoritative[ 5] [ 6] Swabian Jura (124 species). Pisera and co-authors also proposed a new model for the formation of the giant spicule (up to 3 m long) in the glass spongeMonorhaphis chuni [ 7]
He described numerous newtaxa :
genera of Devonian sponges, includingJazwicella Rigby & Pisera, 2001,Polonospongia Rigby & Pisera, 2001,Astyloscyphia Rigby & Pisera, 2001; genera of modern sponges, includingNeoschrammeniella Pisera & Lévi, 2002,[ 6] Isabella Schlacher-Hoenlinger, Pisera & Hooper, 2005,[ 8] Levispongia Schuster, Pisera, Ekins & Debitus, 2021;[ 9] numerousspecies . Three animal species were named in his honor: a fossil (Jurassic) gastropodBuvignieria piserai Kaim, 2004,[ 10] Laocetis piserai Vodrážka & Crame, 2011,[ 11] Neoschrammeniella piserai Carvalho, Cárdenas, Ríos, Cristobo, Rapp & Xavier, 2020.[ 12]
