Reinhardt Kristensen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reinhardt Møbjerg Kristensen (born 1948) is a Danish invertebrate biologist, noted for the discovery of three new phyla of microscopic animals: the Loricifera in 1983, the Cycliophora in 1995, and the Micrognathozoa in 2000. He is also considered one of the world's leading experts on tardigrades. His recent field of work revolves mostly around arctic biology.
He and fellow Danish scientist Peter Funch discovered Symbion pandora (Cycliophora), a jug-shaped microscopic animal that dwells on the mouth-parts of Norwegian lobsters, in 1995.
