The Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group<\/strong> has made great strides in recent years in the scientific advancement and public awareness of occlupanids. A collection of notable publications and reports are collected here:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In 2025 the creative team at Cuspdot art space in Hangzhou, China collaborated with HORG to create an exhibit entirely dedicated to occlupanology. Occlupanid\uff1a Plastic bread tag as an organism<\/a> featured occlupanids in meticulously recreated habitats, displays of specimens, identification guides, and a selection of letters sent to HORG.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"mmuseumm_box\"A diverse selection of fifty notable Occlupanid type specimens were on on display at Mmuseumm <\/a>as part of their 2018 Exhibition. A catalog of the event, along with relevant data for all featured Occlupanids, is available at the Mmuseumm Online Store<\/a>. Audio guide information for each of the loaned holotypes can be reached by dialing +1 (888) 763-8839, ext. 7200 through 7250.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>In 2011 Dr. Bruce Ragsdale collaborated with HORG and other physicians to publish the first internationally recognized paper on occlupanids in a peer-reviewed medical journal<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The meticulously researched paper goes beyond simply warning of the dangers of occlupanophagy; it makes a strong case for the recognition of occlupanid phylogeny by the greater scientific and medical community. An outstanding achievement!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
