It is about 2 mm long, not an insect larva, but clearly annulated with irregularly sized annulae. Without chaetae, with a swollen head with 4 (or 5??) lobe-like appendages and some chitin around the mouth; posteriorly with a more or less sucker-like structure. It might be a leech, or a Histriobdellid, although it does not fit Fauchald's diagnosis. Anyone familiar with the group? Or anyone with a better guess?

The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. If you can not find an answer to your question in this or other documentation, the BIOSCI technical support staff answers e-mail queries sent to biosci-help@net.bio.net We can only answer questions about the use of the newsgroups and mailing lists. We unfortunately do not have the staff to do Internet information searches or answer scientific questions. Please post those to the appropriate BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. Contents: -------- 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! 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. 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! ------------------------------ BIOSCI's government funding has been expended, and we are now operating solely from advertising revenue that we have raised from our Web site at http://www.bio.net/. We need just a few minutes of your time to help us serve you. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as described in item #1 below. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. 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. 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. -- ANNELIDA LIST Server address = biosci-server@net.bio.net (un/subscribes) Discussion address = annelida@net.bio.net (talk to all members) List archives = URL:http://www.bio.net:80/hypermail/ANNELIDA/ Research resource = URL:http://www.keil.ukans.edu/~worms/annelid.html From daemon Thu Jun 12 15:50:50 1997 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) id PAA10639 Message-Id: <199706122250.PAA10639@net.bio.net> To: annelida@net.bio.net Date: Wed, 11 Jun 97 11:39:56 EDT Reply-To: annelida@net.bio.net From: Bill Moser Subject: ?Histriobdellid Dear Dr. Ten Hove, It may be a branchiobdellid.

The series will be a 13-part (15 hrs total) exploration of animal diversity focusing on functional morphology and evolution, aimed at the broadcast market. Sea Studios has pioneered the use of many innovative techniques in documentary production, and Shape of Life will use lots of high quality video footage and animation to teach some real biology in an engaging way. Each major animal phylum will be treated in at least one full episode. I work with Sea Studios as a research consultant, and would appreciate any input regarding recent or ongoing research, interesting critters w/ neat & important adaptations, story ideas, individual researchers/contacts, etc.; specifically w/in the annelids, but in other animal groups as well. We are still in the writing stages, and now is the time to wave your arms if you or someone you know has an interesting story to tell. Of course space is limited, and we will not be able to feature every ones ideas, but we'll include everything we can. Let me close by saying that for any of you that may have worked w/ photo or video/film crews in the past and found it an annoying or unpleasant experience, the folks @ Sea Studios are easy & fun to work with. They all have science degrees & backgrounds, & understand what research is like.

Isn't that nice! Correct, but I think we were not aware this shift-key trick below was necessary on the Mac (clipped from the Endnote list, and it's in the manual). I hope not too many were puzzled. "Libraries that are created on the Mac version of EndNote Plus or the PC version of EndNote Plus are compatible across platforms (they can even be shared over a mixed platform network). There are a couple of things to be aware of: 1) The libraries need *no conversion* (also, do not export and import the data) - simply copy the library file over the network or use a PC diskette and Apple File Exchange or DOS Mounter to copy the library to or from a Mac. 2) To "see" a PC library from the Mac platform in the Open File dialog window, it will be necessary to hold down the Shift key while choosing Open... from the File menu. This means, push the Shift key down, keep it down, choose Open... from the File menu, then let go of the Shift key. This enables you to "see" a PC library in the Open File dialog. Once the library has been opened, a Macintosh file type and creator code will be appended to the file and you won't have to hold the Shift key down to see it the next time you want to open it. To see a Mac library from the PC platform, it should have the extension *.enl. If it doesn't, then be sure to change the view to show All Files (*.*) in the Open File dialog, so that EndNote is not limiting your view to just those files with *.enl or *.lib extensions. Additional information can be found in the the EndNote Plus manual: The PC Manual (1st Edition): Pages 37-38 The PC Manual (2nd Edition): Pages 63-64 The PC Manual (3rd Edition): Pages 61-62 The Mac Manual (1st Edition): Pages 59-60 The Mac Manual (2nd Edition): Pages 87-88 The Mac Manual (3rd Edition): Pages 59-60" -- Geoff Read -- ANNELIDA Discuss = annelida@net.bio.net = talk to all members Server = biosci-server@net.bio.net = un/subscribes Archives = http://www.bio.net:80/hypermail/ANNELIDA/ Resources = http://www.keil.ukans.edu/~worms/annelid.html -- From daemon Mon Jun 16 14:48:43 1997 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) id OAA03486 Message-Id: <199706162148.OAA03486@net.bio.net> To: annelida@net.bio.net From: "Peter Olive" Reply-To: annelida@net.bio.net Date: Mon, 16 Jun 1997 13:01:29 +0000 Subject: Re: Annelid Functional Morphology You might like to hear about our recent success in the cryopreservation of living fully differentiated larvae of marine worms (Nereidae). In effect we have achieved the preservation in liquid N of animals which are the most developmentally advanced creatures to be preserved yet. The results are published in technical form in Cryobioology vol 34 284 294 under the somewhat daunting title "Cryopreservation of Nereis virens (Polychaeta, Annelida) larvae: the mechanisms of cryopreservation of a differentiated metazoan." The larvae can be filmed recovering from the preservation process during which they are kept at a temperature of about -180 degrees C and as they warm up they can be seen to gradually come to life, and within a few seconds begin to move - just like rip van winkle emerging from his deep sleep. The work was developed as part of a commercial development in the farming of worms and is a good story in applied science. Worms are very often dug as bait for marine angling. While there are places where this can be done in a sustainable way (coast of Maine USA for instance) in many regions and in Europe in general the harm cuased by bait digging is simply not sustainable. Some 10 years ago we launched the worlds first ragworm farm to address this problem with a technology transfer from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne (UK) to the company Seabait Ltd. The company set up a production unit using the heated sea water from a power station to maximise the growth of the worms and last year we produced about 25 tonnes!. Because we grow the animals so quickly we needed to have babies available on an all year round basis - so that tanks can be stocked at all times of the year. We have achieved this in two ways i) cryopreservation of the juveniles ii) changing the breeding season by manipulating the photoperiod - yes marine worms are sensitive to the length of day just as we are. I think both stories would be of interest to the general public as would footage of the mass production of these worms which are pretty impressive animals. The Nereis virens can reach up to a metre in length though we usually sell them at about 10 inches or so at an age of about 6 months. If you are interested please don't hesitate to contact me. Our experience over the years has been that the public are interested in this story for several reasons - the impact of the mass culture of marine worms, the conservation envrionmental protection side, and the impact of science in a practical business.

Pump in a name and you get the occurrences in Zoo Record since 1978 something like so: Name : Nereis virens Group : Annelida Author : Sars 1835 Classification : Polychaeta [view ZR hierarchy] Occurrence In ZR : 26 ZR Volume 117 119 122 123 128 129 130 131 132 Occurrence 2 2 1 1 8 9 1 1 1 You can search on genus and family too, though the latter may not be a meaningful thing to do at this stage except for the rare ones. Also it doesn't seem to report the family of a species. "The Index constitutes the publicly available portion of TRITON the Taxonomy Resource and Index To Organism Names system currently being developed by BIOSIS" "The Full TRITON system will provide subscription based access to full index and bibliographic data for all newly published and changed animal names, including all new combinations and new synonyms, reported in Zoological Record since 1978..." And it isn't available just yet. -- Geoff Read -- ANNELIDA LIST Server address = biosci-server@net.bio.net (un/subscribes) Discussion address = annelida@net.bio.net (talk to all members) List archives = URL:http://www.bio.net:80/hypermail/ANNELIDA/ Research resource = URL:http://www.keil.ukans.edu/~worms/annelid.html From daemon Wed Jun 18 15:19:39 1997 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) id PAA14454 Message-Id: <199706182219.PAA14454@net.bio.net> To: annelida@net.bio.net Date: Wed, 18 Jun 1997 09:48:21 -0700 Reply-To: annelida@net.bio.net From: Colin Hermans Subject: Re: TRITON Index to Organism Names Dear Anneliders: TRITON is a cute acronym, but the names involved seem to be the names of species (or taxa) rather than those of organisms.

I tried to look for names Klaus Mueller and I had once created and, asthonishingly, found some. Yet someone had changed our intepretation of the systematic position of these forms, both interpreted as stem-group crustaceans by us they are noted as Ostracoda and as Trilobitomorpha, whatever that is. I wonder if the organisers of this interesting search tool have installed their own ideas of relationships also for other taxa.

All requests for loans of material and information regarding the collection must now be addressed to my supervisor, Dr. Jean-Marc Gagnon, e-mail address: JMGAGNON@mus-nature.ca It is almost a year since I have had a chance to just sit at my microscopes and look at worms. The labs are now officially open although we still have a few glitches to overcome (alcohol availability system not yet working), but everything is coming back to life slowly, including my knees.

The samples were taken at 300 m in Lynn Canal, Southeast Alaska. I was curious about what was known about the ecology of this species. I assume that they use their buccal tentacles in a similar fashion as do Terebellids. I find this species incredibly interesting, and would like to hear from anyone who has studied this species. The only other "large" inverts that were about as common were the mollusc Rhabdus (sp?) rectius (Scaphopoda), the heart-urchin (Brisaster, I believe), and the Priapulid Priapulus caudata. Lynn Canal is a large glacial fjord, "boxed in" on three sides. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

About 185 polychaetologists stated that they plan to attend the conference, together with 80 accompanying people. Most of the arrangements, including conference venue (changes for better have been made), conference program and associated events, are also ready. However, I have a very practical problem that will oblige me to postpone the sending of the circular once more, probably until August 1997. Brazil has suffered an economical turmoil for a number of years, reflected in extremely high inflation rates. The situation has stabilized in the past two or three years and inflation is under reasonable control by now. However, many of the hotel and air flight companies will only fix and guarantee prices to the '98 Conference from August 1997 on. I prefer to send such information only then, in order to avoid any misunderstandings and/or price changes. In order to reduce costs, I have a suggestion to all of you who intend to participate at the postconference excursions. As you probably know, the country is fairly large, distances are often equivalent to intercontinental ones and prices of air tickets are correspondingly high. In most countries, VARIG (the Brazilian air carrier) offers an air flight pass at reasonable prices. This pass, which can only be bought outside of Brazil, allows for 5 flights inside the country. Its usage will significantly reduce the costs of the planned excursions. So I suggest you to get in contact with your travel agencies or agents in order to get more detailed information. I would also like to confirm that two courses will be offered to participants and interested students. A two-week one, just after the conference, will deal on "Polychaetes and cladistics". It will be directed by Gregory Rouse, with the participation of Kristian Fauchald and Fredrik Pleijel. I will be responsible for the logistics support in Pontal do Sul (about 110 km from Curitiba). The second one is being organized by Cecilia Amaral, Edmundo Nonato and Paulo Paiva, who will invite some keynote speakers to present and discuss topics on polychaete ecology and comparative biology. It will be offered in Sao Sebastiao (Sao Paulo), about 600 km northeastern of Curitiba, probably just before the conference. More detailed information will be soon provided through the Annelida list and through the second circular. I would like to renew an appeal that I made through the Annelida list some time ago. Many polychaetologists from all over the world have informed me that they will have financial difficulties in attending the conference. As you know, our Association does not have a budget to fund the travel of participants. Inscription fees will be mainly utilized to organize the meeting and to cover general expenses, such as the editing of the Proceedings. It is sure I will be able to get a substantial help from Brazilian agencies, but the chances of funding individual participants are rather small and I would not like to commit myself to do that at this moment. So if you are aware of any international agencies or institutions that could be of some help, please let me know.
