Accounts already Published (and some accounts In prep.) are listed here
(many accounts in prep. are not yet listed).

All species annotated as Authors needed or In prep., or not listed at all,
are available for new authors with relevant data for those species
to be considered for authorship or co-authorship on the account.
Since many “In prep.” accounts have languished for many years,
we encourage new authors to join the team as senior authors to finish them up.
