I have studied animal remains in marine sediment cores. Jaws of nereids were commom, and very well preserved. The length of the core was 210 cm. The bottom part was deposited 500 BC, but jaws were also present in deeper layers not yet dated. The results were published by P.Kristensen, S. Heier-Nielsen and J. Hylleberg (1995) Late-Holocene salinity fluctuations in Bjornsholm Bay, Limfjorden, Denmark, as deduced from micro- and macrofosil analysis. The Holocene, 5,3 (1995) pp. 313-322. In the core, I noticed numerous acicular setae of Nereis, maybe Nephtys (it is hard to say), and occasionally setae of Aphrodite (unpublished). Tubes of Pectinaria were very well preserved. Otherwise only calcareous tubes of Pomatoceros, Spirorbis etc. were extracted. I used 50 x magnification, so I dare not say if fine setae can be found if a more powerful lens is used.

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 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 Sep 15 14:30:30 1997 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) id OAA12280 Message-Id: <199709152130.OAA12280@net.bio.net> To: annelida@net.bio.net From: Markus Boeggemann Reply-To: annelida@net.bio.net Date: Mon, 15 Sep 1997 16:16:32 GMT-1 Subject: Glyceridae types Hi My name is Markus Boeggemann. In the course for my Ph. D.-thesis I am carrying out a taxonomic-systematic revision of all world-wide described Glyceridae (Annelida: Polychaeta) with application of light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Proboscidial papillae studied with SEM techniques seem to be a reliable character for the identification of Glyceridae (FIEGE & BOEGGEMANN 1997: The proboscidial papillae of some European Glyceridae; Proc. of 5th Intern. Polychaete Conference). Type-description and illustrations for many Glyceridae are extremely vague, making identification to species level difficult or even impossible. Based on an examination of the original material I want to review and clarify the synonymy of all the species that have been described. The following type material seem to be lost, but if anybody knows something about the whereabouts of these holo-, syn- and paratypes, please send the information to my e-mail number: mboeggem@sng.uni-frankfurt.de If you find some of the type material in your collection, please send the species to the following address: Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg Sektion Marine Evertebraten II Senckenberganlage 25 60325 Frankfurt am Main Germany Dr. D.

My thesis research involves the investigation of speciation in the poecilogonous polychaete Streblospio benedicti. By using a combination of cross-breeding experiments and mitochondrial DNA sequence analyses I hope to gain some insight into the degree of genetic relatedness of reproductive types within and between estuaries. Currently, I am in the process of culturing worms collected from estuaries along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of Florida but I am interested in obtaining specimens from other North American estuaries as well. If anyone has advice concerning collecting sites or would be willing to send worms to me I would greatly appreciate your help.

Kirtley I heard of the death of David from Mary Petersen. I was absent during these previous months. I am very disturbed by this event, because we were doing together a new paper about Sabellariids, this work will be published with his name, of course. I have known David from 1991 for the description of the new genus Bathysabellaria from New Caledonia, since this year we have never stopped our correspondence. After the 4th International Polychaete Conference in Angers, in 1992, David came to Dinard (France) during several days with his wife and his son. His sense of humour, his joviality, combined with his professionalism made of David a very great personage. His colossal work about Sabellariidae is very noteworthy. During this time we have worked together on a new species of Bathysabellaria published in 1996, this work being followed by an other new publication about bathyal and abyssal new species from New Caledonia, so being ready soon. I want to finish this note in memory of David. I would like to finish with a word with which David gave to me his regards in each fax , this word is "KENAVO", it is a Breton word for "Good bye..soon.". I say to you, David, Kenavo !

Urgent: Supplier wanted!!! Dear Colleagues! Currently I am working on my diploma thesis, which is dealing with copper accumulation in Lumbricus rubellus. Unfortunately I did not manage to establish a viable in-vitro breeding population of this species and it is absolutely impossible to catch this species in the open field during wintertime. Therefore I am desperately seeking for any information about who could possibly supply a sufficient amount of specimens of this species (approximately a 100 per month). So I'd like to ask you if anybody knows an adress of a vermiculturist (worldwide!) who is able to sell such worms. Note: it is absolutely necessary that it is exactly the species mentioned above, Lumbricus rubellus Sauvigny, 1823, because the whole experimental set is focusing on this taxon. I truely do hope that anyone of you is able (and willing) to help me, because this whole thing is starting to really bug me. So untill our next contact I stay yours with my best wishes, cheers Birgit Hiptmair Birgit Egger-Lienz-Gasse 9 5020 Salzburg Tel.0662/63905113 Birgit.Hiptmair@sbg.ac.at -- 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
