We dedicate this book to the memory of departed colleagues: Since the first International Symposium on the Science and Conservation of Horseshoe Crabs and the resulting publication of Biology and Conservation of Horseshoe Crabs in 2009 (Springer), the field of horseshoe crab research and conservation lost three renowned pioneers, including Dr. Robert Barlow, Dr. Anne Rudloe, and Dr. Koichi Sekiguchi. We thought it only appropriate to give tribute to these great mentors who shaped the field we know today. Additional information, including selected key publications and personal reflections on each colleague, are provided by Dr. Carl N. Shuster Jr.
Dr. Robert B. Barlow (1939–2009) Pioneer investigator into the neural basis of horseshoe crab behavior and vision
