Max Telford completed his D.Phil at the University of Oxford in 1993. After a year working in Paris he spent 6 years as a research fellow at The Natural History Museum before taking up a Wellcome Trust Research Career Development Fellowship in Cambridge in 2000. He moved back to London in 2003 and is now Reader in Zoology in the Department of Biology, University College London. He has two principle related research interests; in metazoan molecular systematics, which provides the essential evolutionary framework for all comparative zoology and in comparative developmental (Evo-devo) studies principally in the arthropods.

Tim Littlewood completed his PhD at the University of the West Indies and received his DSc from the University of Manchester. He has worked at The Natural History Museum since 1991 where he worked as a Wellcome Senior Research Fellow (1996-2005) and is currently an Individual Merit Researcher in the Department of Zoology. His research programme includes a study of the evolution of parasitism in flatworms, comparative mitogenomics and the wider applications of phylogenetics amongst a variety of animal groups over a range of taxonomic levels.
