E' con vivo dolore che vi comunico la scomparsa prematura di Christoffer Schander, caro amico e valente malacologo, ben noto per i suoi studi sui Pyramidellidae. Allego un ricordo inviatomi dai suoi colleghi di Facoltà.
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is with great sadness that I inform you that Christoffer Schander passed away yesterday Monday, the 20th. Christoffer had a sudden brain haemorrhage about two weeks ago and spent the last days fighting for his live at the hospital. Christoffer was a prominent figure on the field of marine biology both in Norway and worldwide. His main research interests focused on the phylogeny and systematics of molluscs particularly heterobranchs and aplacophorans. Last year Christoffer co-authored a paper on the phylogeny of the main lineages of the phylum Mollusca published in Nature. During the last years Christoffer has been a Professor at the Department of Biology of the University of Bergen and the leader of the Marine Biodiversity Research Group. Since August 2011 he took over the position of Director of the University Museum of Bergen, Norway, where tragically he did not have enough time to implement his visions. A memorial reception for friends and colleagues will be held later this week in Bergen.
