Robertus Wilhelmus Maria van Soest, born in 1946, [1] is a Dutch marine biologist. He works at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center and is also affiliated with the University of Amsterdam. He co-authored with John N. A. Hooper Systema Porifera: A Guide to the Classification of Sponges, [2] a standard reference for sponge classification. [3] [4] [5]

Contents

He was editor in chief of the World Porifera Database (WPD) from 2004 to 2021, [6] and is currently (March 2022) one of its taxonomic editors. [7]

He has contributed to the systematics, the phylogeny and the taxonomy of sponges, [8] [9] [10] to their chemistry [11] and biological properties (and the pharmacological use thereof) [12] [13] [14]

His zoological abbreviation is van Soest.
