Let's see what we can do to gather momentum again. I'm eager to see more participation from oligochaete, leech, annelidan-ally researchers on the list to balance the polychaete dominance so far. I have had my horizons expanded a little as to what is available via WWW on two of those groups and can point users to: http://www.vims.edu/~mes/leech/ (Mark Siddall's Leech pages (index)) http://www.vims.edu/~mes/leech/leechopt.html (Leech life history evolution) http://www.vims.edu/~mes/mes/leechfigs.html (Leech pictures) http://www.vims.edu/~mes/leech/hirudinea.html (Class Hirudinea classification (Mark Siddall)) I can't point to more on oligochaetes just yet, but have been told about a set of home pages in preparation which should be very useful when published. A little housekeeping news: The new BIOSCI/BIONET WWW hypermail archive *does* now include ANNELIDA (it didn't at first) and should be a very convenient tool for reviewing ANNELIDA content as there is a searchable index of the full text. It is also now possible to post a message to ANNELIDA via your WWW browser. http://www.bio.net:80/hypermail/ANNELIDA/ Please add the above to your WWW 'bookmarks' to replace the gopher link 'gopher://gopher.bio.net:70/11/ANNELIDA'. That is now obsolete. It still works at present but will probably be removed. DEEPSEA is now a newsgroup, having somewhat narrowly passed its vote (I hope Annelidans will be more enthusiastic when our vote is underway). Should there be any burst of activity in this hitherto lethargic group you will find it at: Usenet group: bionet.biology.deepsea http://www.bio.net:80/hypermail/DEEPSEA/ Note that DEEPSEA is moderated whereas ANNELIDA is not. In a moderated list all mail goes to one person who decides whether or not to release to the list. While this has advantages in weeding out junk and 'mistakes', there is a hint of censorship which I am keen to avoid (and I quote "... amateur or generally uninformative discussion will be eliminated without notice.") I personally will much prefer to keep ANNELIDA uncontrolled as long as spontaneity is tempered with sufficient individual restraint and commonsense, and the volume of 'noise' does not become excessive. Talking of 'noise' -- I have been told that the lengthy BIOSCI info sheet you all received last month was accidentally sent to the list as a result of human error. We will still get the mini-FAQ occasionally. If you want help with server commands send the word 'help' (without quotes) in the body of an e-mail to . Note that the list of ANNELIDA subscribers is NOT obtainable. Handy hint for the day - If you have the least doubt as to what your message to any list will look like please take the simple step of sending it first to YOURSELF and nobody else! If the result is nicely formatted (no line overruns (80 characters max), no unreadable encoding, no strange characters, etc), you know you are on the way to mastering your e-mail program.

If there aren't enough of us online now to get some lively discussion happening then there never will be! Because ANNELIDA was set up with an initial list of addresses the basics of dealing with automatic lists appear not to have penetrated into the memory banks of all of us. So here it is again. I apologise for the tedium. I usually do this privately to individuals but sometimes a public reminder helps to stop a lemming-like rush of 'me too' idiocy. Sending list commands to us all achieves absolutely nothing apart from denting your reputation as an intelligent person. Automatic unmoderated lists give wonderful freedom -- it's up to you to exercise that freedom without bothering other people. If your address is changing you must unsubscribe from the list using your old address, and then resubscribe under your new address. NEVER, EVER, send commands to the ANNELIDA address. Send them to biosci-server@net.bio.net. That address represents a dumb computer program which 'administers' the membership list. The one-line message 'help' sent to the server will produce a list of the commands. Here is part of the BIOSCI advice: ========================================================================= B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe annelida unsubscribe annelida end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. ========================================================================= 'Discussion Leader' -- Geoff Read Annelida resources => http://www.actrix.gen.nz/users/chaeto/index.html From BIOSCI-REQUEST Wed Jan 10 04:04:03 1996 Return-Path: BIOSCI-REQUEST Received: (from daemon@localhost) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) id EAA00693; Wed, 10 Jan 1996 04:04:03 -0800 Received: from baum02.ege.edu.tr (baum02.ege.edu.tr [155.223.2.2]) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id EAA00680; Wed, 10 Jan 1996 04:03:48 -0800 Received: from sufak.ege.edu.tr (sufak.ege.edu.tr [155.223.65.4]) by baum02.ege.edu.tr (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id OAA30963 for ; Wed, 10 Jan 1996 14:04:09 +0300 Received: from SUFAK/SMTPQueue by sufak.ege.edu.tr (Mercury 1.11); Wed, 10 Jan 96 14:00:44 GMT+02 Received: from Mailqueue by SUFAK (Mercury 1.11); Wed, 10 Jan 96 14:00:38 GMT+02 From: "Melih Ertan Cinar" To: annelida@net.bio.net Date: Wed, 10 Jan 1996 14:00:37 +2 TUR Subject: X-Confirm-Reading-To: "Melih Ertan Cinar" X-pmrqc: 1 Priority: urgent X-mailer: Pegasus Mail/Windows (v1.21) Message-ID: <52F6C5795@sufak.ege.edu.tr> subscribe Annelida end From BIOSCI-REQUEST Thu Jan 11 06:56:37 1996 Return-Path: BIOSCI-REQUEST Received: (from daemon@localhost) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) id GAA08324; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 06:56:37 -0800 Received: from sme.univ-mrs.fr (sme.univ-mrs.fr [139.124.16.1]) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id GAA08215; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 06:55:12 -0800 Received: from [139.124.16.21] (smepc11.univ-mrs.fr) by sme.univ-mrs.fr with SMTP (1.37.109.16/16.2) id AA248271906; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 15:51:46 +0100 From: "Helmut Zibrowius" Date: Thu, 11 Jan 96 15:48:27 MST Message-Id: <23651.hzibrowi@[139.124.16.1]_POPMail/PC_3.2.2> Reply-To: X-Popmail-Charset: IBM 8-Bit To: Annelida@net.bio.net Subject: NOT a new Lessepsian migrant! This note is intended to attract attention to a confusing lapsus in: Galil B.S., Luetzen J., 1995: Biological observations on Heterosaccus dollfusi Boschma (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala), a parasite of Charybdis longicollis Leene (Decapoda: Brachyura), a lessepsian migrant to the Mediterranean. Journal of Crustacean biology, 15 (4): 659-670. The authors report that on the coast of Israel the crab Charybdis dollfusi, a Lessepsian migrant, may bear a serpulid polychaete when parasited by the rhizocephalan, the castrated crab being prevented from further molting. -- p. 659, 661, 662/fig.1: the serpulid in question is given (mistakenly!) as "Hydroides tuberculatus", -- p. 669: in the acknowledgements it is given (correctly!) as Hydroides operculatus (identified by Helmut Zibrowius). In fact, the serpulid in question IS Hydroides operculatus (Treadwell, 1929), a species already documented as a Lessepsian migrant (Ben-Eliahu & Ten Hove, 1992). "Hydroides tuberculatus" is a transcription error by Galil & Luetzen, for H. operculatus. The Mediterranean crab epibiont is NOT Hydroides tuberculatus Imajima, 1976, a species originally described from Japan. Thus, presently, Hydroides tuberculatus Imajima, 1976, is NOT registered as a Lessepsian migrant. But let's see whether it will arrive at some later time, possibly as a ship-travelling species, contributing to encrease the biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea ... ----------------------------------- Helmut ZIBROWIUS (Centre d'Oceanologie de Marseille) Station Marine d'Endoume Rue Batterie des Lions 13007 Marseille / France TEL: (intern. - 33) 9 1 0 4 1 6 2 4 FAX: (intern. - 33) 9 1 0 4 1 6 3 5 E-MAIL: ----------------------------------- From BIOSCI-REQUEST Thu Jan 11 17:10:01 1996 Return-Path: BIOSCI-REQUEST Received: (from daemon@localhost) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) id RAA15854; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 17:10:01 -0800 Received: from relay.rediris.es (relay.rediris.es [130.206.1.1]) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id RAA15850; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 17:09:59 -0800 Received: from rediris.es by relay.rediris.es (PMDF V4.2-14 #4193) id <01HZVTJIKWOG8WX0F9@relay.rediris.es>; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 12:11:13 GMT+1 X400-Received: by mta iris-dcp in /PRMD=iris/ADMD=mensatex/C=es/; Relayed; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 12:10:50 UTC+0100 X400-Received: by /PRMD=iris/ADMD=mensatex/C=es/; Relayed; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 12:09:22 UTC+0200 Date: Thu, 11 Jan 1996 12:09:22 UTC+0200 From: Jose Manuel Vieitez Martin Subject: unsuscribe annelida To: annelida@net.bio.net Message-id: <62*/S=bnjmvm/OU=bioani/O=alcala/PRMD=iris/ADMD=mensatex/C=es/@MHS> Content-identifier: 62 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X400-Content-type: P2-1984 (2) X400-MTS-identifier: [/PRMD=iris/ADMD=mensatex/C=es/;960111120922] X400-Originator: bnjmvm@bioani.alcala.es X400-Recipients: annelida@net.bio.net UNSUSCRIBE ANNELIDA Jose M.

The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. Contents: -------- 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index in addition to the master index for the entire set. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.

Hall" To: annelida@net.bio.net Subject: Sensitivity/vulnerability indices. Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Fellow Annelidians, I'm currently working on a post-doc aimed at analysing long-term changes in the North Sea benthos (not necessarily just worms). One of the main factors that has been proposed as an agent of change is physical disturbance by fishing. To test this hypothesis, I am attempting to compile a set of criteria describing vulnerability/sensitivity of benthos to disturbance, including things such as body structure, burrowing activity, life history etc. There appears to be little published literature, but having asked around in the U.K. many people have had a stab at trying to solve this problem. Has anyone any experience of defining the features of an organism that make it vulnerable to effects of, say otter or beam trawling? Has anyone tried to compile a list of organisms that are prone to disturbance by using theoretical criteria, rather than by taking an experimental approach? Any information, posted to me directly, or to the net would be gratefully received. Thanks JOHN HALL ************************************************************************** John Hall Dove Marine Laboratory Cullercoats North Shields Tyne and Wear NE30 4PZ U.K. Phone ++191 252 4850 FAX ++191 252 1054 ************************************************************************* From BIOSCI-REQUEST Sat Jan 13 20:13:16 1996 Return-Path: BIOSCI-REQUEST Received: (from daemon@localhost) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) id UAA26654; Sat, 13 Jan 1996 20:13:16 -0800 Received: from franklin.seas.gwu.edu (franklin.seas.gwu.edu [128.164.9.2]) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id UAA26651; Sat, 13 Jan 1996 20:13:13 -0800 Received: from [198.70.174.245] (chi-pm2-27.freeppp.com [198.70.174.251]) by franklin.seas.gwu.edu (8.7.1/8.7.1) with SMTP id WAA24306; Sat, 13 Jan 1996 22:42:31 -0500 (EST) X-Sender: jennie@uni.liverpool.ac.uk (Unverified) Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Reply-To: please.reply.via.fax.or.via.smail@fax.number.or.smail.address.shown.below Approved: moderator Date: Sat, 13 Jan 1996 22:47:21 -0500 To: jennie@uni.liverpool.ac.uk From: jennie@uni.liverpool.ac.uk, steinling@rentwes.org.uk, chiu@otego.ac.uk, ronnie@jhg.co.uk, ellen@tci.co.uk, samuels@uni.london.ac.uk, chen@birmingham.org.uk, chi@manchester.co.uk, wind@rfg1.co.uk, susans@uni.rhodes.ac.uk, gregor@southampt.n.org.uk, ellen@plymouth.ac.uk, gfos@fresno.co.uk, trens@uni.london.ac.uk, jim@uni.london.ac.uk, fharile@plymouth.org.uk, relson@childs.co.uk, nels@hall.co.uk, sarap@ruv4.co.uk, gspelling@earthlite.co.uk (Association of International Students, Executive Board of Directors, UK Chapter) Subject: ===>> FREE 1 yr.

Hi fellow 'netters, My name is Jennie Winslow and I recently started using a magazine subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them. They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles. Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price guarantee. Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language. Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and cut-out all the middlemen. They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student. I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail. They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet. They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it. They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I haved moved from one country to another. They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular USA titles they sell. They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change when I moved from one country to another. The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members" (even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future orders (after your first order) via E-mail. He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas, he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long distance rates are cheaper then. He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above form to them, that is the way to get started! They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly, no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and answer all your questions. Once you get in, you'll love them. I do. Sincerely, Jennie Winslow ps. please forward a copy of this message to all your friends on the net who you think might be interested in it! It is a great deal! If you join and then they join after you, you will earn a free 1 yr. subscription for each new person you get to join after you join! If you exceed 25 referrals, they let you use them to give away as gifts, for Christmas, Chanukah or any other occasion. Please be kind enough to mention my name when you join. I will then get a free magazine for a year for referring you. Thank you.

I don't know how it got onto our list as our address isn't in the headers, but it's also on file in the archive so somehow some unscrupulous person has taken advantage of the system. There is nothing you can do about it except delete unread. A very minor irritation I hope.

I wish all of you enjoyed a nice Christmas holiday and have a prosperous 1996. My lab was growing steadly in the last few months. At present, we have two postdoctoal fellows (Drs. Gosselin and Bryan), 2 research assistants (with MSc degree), three postgraduate students, 3 undergraduates, one full time technician, and one visiting professor from Duke in the lab. We will have two postdoc positions open starting from April 1996 for one year but with second year renewable. Postion one: soft-bottom benthic ecologist: the person should have experience in field collection, sample sorting, taxonomy on soft bottom communities, and experimental design. Major objective of research will be on the effects of dredging and dredged spoil disposal on soft community structure in Hong Kong waters (recruitment, succession and funal composition). The postdoc is expected to provide on site supervision to research assistants (instruct them how to collect and sort the samples) and to focus on science rather than survey itself. He (she) will have oppourtunity to work with consultant industries and has potential job available in consultant industries in this region. Postion two: fouling and antifouling biologist: The person is expected to team up with 3 research assistants to work on a new project which involves biologist, methmatician and engineer. The project will be conducted on campus. The person shall have experience in: fouling community, toxicity bioassay with marine larvae, and some knowledge on antifouling coating and natural products. Salary and benifit: Current payscale for postdoc here varies from 18,000 to 25,000 Hong Kong dollars per month (1US$=7.72 Hong Kong dollars). Medical insurance will also be provided. If anyone is interested, please send me your CV and names, fax number, and e- mail addresses of two references. If need more information, please contact me as soon as possible.

Hi fellow 'netters, My name is Sandee Loring and I recently started using a magazine subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them. They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles. Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price guarantee. Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language. Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and cut-out all the middlemen. They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student. I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail. They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet. They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it. They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I haved moved from one country to another. They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular USA titles they sell. They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change when I moved from one country to another. The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members" (even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future orders (after your first order) via E-mail. He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas, he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long distance rates are cheaper then. He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above form to them, that is the way to get started! They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly, no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and answer all your questions. Once you get in, you'll love them. I do. Sincerely, Sandee Loring ps. please forward a copy of this message to all your friends on the net who you think might be interested in it! It is a great deal! If you join and then they join after you, you will earn a free 1 yr. subscription for each new person you get to join after you join! If you exceed 25 referrals, they let you use them to give away as gifts, for Christmas, Chanukah or any other occasion. Please be kind enough to mention my name when you join. I will then get a free magazine for a year for referring you. Thank you.

Judd) Subject: Intro I would like to introduce myself my name is Jeff Judd and I am a second year doctoral student in the lab of Dr. Deborah Penry at U. C. Berkeley. My work focuses on the digestive physiology of deposit feeders. Our lab approaches questions from a physiological ecology view point, examining the interactions between an organisms physiology and its environment. The two general questions I am asking are: (1) How do variations in food supply (amount) and composition (type) affect digestive performance and rate of gain in deposit feeding organisms.

There is a story on a distinguished and well-known marine biologist, now retired. When he first came across H. carunculata on an expedition to the warmer eastern Mediterranean (species unknown near his lab), he wanted to collect that spectacular worm crawling around in shallow water. He was snorkeling, but unfortunately had no container or plastic bag at hand (may be it was even before plastic bags became a common thing). So he put it into his slip. In the same context: it may also not be advisable to transport Fierasfer the same way. During marine biology field courses keep your students informed. ----------------------------------- Helmut ZIBROWIUS (Centre d'Oceanologie de Marseille) Station Marine d'Endoume Rue Batterie des Lions 13007 Marseille / France TEL: (intern. - 33) 9 1 0 4 1 6 2 4 FAX: (intern. - 33) 9 1 0 4 1 6 3 5 E-MAIL: ----------------------------------- From BIOSCI-REQUEST Sat Jan 27 14:39:50 1996 Return-Path: BIOSCI-REQUEST Received: (from daemon@localhost) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) id OAA27930; Sat, 27 Jan 1996 14:39:50 -0800 Received: from osceola.gate.net (osceola.gate.net [199.227.0.18]) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id OAA27923; Sat, 27 Jan 1996 14:39:41 -0800 Received: from [204.162.179.241] (port13.annex1.naples.net [205.160.191.108]) by osceola.gate.net (8.6.12/8.6.9) with SMTP id RAA10924; Sat, 27 Jan 1996 17:05:53 -0500 X-Sender: michal1@netquandry.net (Unverified) Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Reply-To: via.fax.or.smail.please@thank.you Approved: mh@netquandry.net Date: Sat, 27 Jan 1996 17:24:10 -0500 To: michal3@netquandry.net (Michal Hirschberger) From: michal3@netquandry.net (Michal Hirschberger) Subject: FAQ 3 / *STOP*......... before you buy another over-priced USA magazine at the store or by subscription!

Hi fellow 'netters, My name is Michal Hirschberger and I recently started using a magazine subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them. They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles. Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price guarantee. Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language. Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and cut-out all the middlemen. They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student. I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail. They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet. They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it. They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I haved moved from one country to another. They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular USA titles they sell. They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change when I moved from one country to another. The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members" (even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future orders (after your first order) via E-mail. He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas, he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long distance rates are cheaper then. He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above form to them, that is the way to get started! They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly, no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and answer all your questions. Once you get in, you'll love them. I do. Sincerely, Michal Hirschberger ps. please forward a copy of this message to all your friends on the net who you think might be interested in it! It is a great deal! If you join and then they join after you, you will earn a free 1 yr. subscription for each new person you get to join after you join! If you exceed 25 referrals, they let you use them to give away as gifts, for Christmas, Chanukah or any other occasion. Please be kind enough to mention my name when you join. I will then get a free magazine for a year for referring you. Thank you.

I hope to mail it next April. Most of the practical issues, such as conference venue, organization commitee, accomodations, mid- and post- conference excursions have already been dealt upon. However, in order to have a sound scientific agenda, I would appreciate to receive your comments on preferred themes, suggested symposia or any other special activities. This is specially addressed to our Polychaetology Association and its Advisory Council, whose suggestions will be warmly welcome. It is also my intention to create or strengthen scientific cooperation between Southamerican researchers and the international polychaetological community, by creating facilities for short visits to local institutions just prior or just after the Conference. So, just tell me about any special interests on South American polychaetes (or closely related matters). Please do not hesitate to e-mail me privately if you prefer to do so. I hope to keep everybody informed about the conference through a) formal announcements (three or four till 1998), b) this mailing list (thanks, Geoffrey!) and, c) a WWW page, to be created in the near future.
