Subject:       Seeking Postdoc: Invertebrate Molecular Systematics


Colleagues,

I am nearing completion of my post-doc at the National Museum of Natural
History's Laboratory of Molecular Systematics where I have been working on
the molecular phylogenetics of various deep-sea gastropod lineages, with
emphasis upon possible sulphide-associated refugial relics.  I am seeking
postdoctoral opportunities in marine invertebrate molecular systematics to
begin in January-February 1998, with preference for a position in the New
England region (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, etc.).  I am interested
in working on phylogenetic or biogeographic issues in any marine
invertebrate taxon, but would especially be interested in working with
endemic deep-sea groups, particularly among the polychaetes, copepods,
barnacles, or gastropods.  I have several possible research projects for
these groups I would be willing to discuss.

Full details of my research interests, my Curriculum Vitae, and
supplemental information can be found on my web site:
http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/8431/

Please forward this message to anyone who may be interested, with my
thanks.

Andrew McArthur

Subject:       BIOSCI/bionet miniFAQ & Fundraiser

(LAST REVISION: 30-JUL-95)

This BIOSCI "miniFAQ" is designed to answer the questions that come up the
*most frequently*.  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.

Subject:       authors with aristocracic title

Dear collegues,
I am finishing a revision of the genus Typosyllis Langerhans
(Syllidae) for Ph.D. thesis at the University of Osnabrueck.

When generating the list of cited literature, I stumbled over unclarity
how to cite and alphabetize some few authors with aristocratic title. As
there seems to be no guideline and moreover, as other authors seem to
have these "problems" also (according to ununiformity I noticed in the
references), I would like to throw this question into discussion and would
be grateful for receiving any advice.

Below I listed those authors that make me trouble:

BLAINVILLE, H. DE  or  DE BLAINVILLE, H.
(if DE BLAINVILLE, alphabetize as "B" or "D" in references?)

DALLA TORRE, K. W. VON  or  VON DALLA TORRE, K. W.
(alphabetize as "D", "T" or "V"?)

CHIAJE, S. DELLE  or  DELLE CHIAJE, S.
(alphabetize as "C" or "D"?)

LINNE, CHARLES  or  LINNAEUS, CAROLUS

MARENZELLER, E. VON  or  VON MARENZELLER, E.
(alphabetize as "M" or "V"?)

MCINTOSH, W.C.
(alphabetize as "Mc" or "Mac"?)

PLESSIS, G. DU  or  DU PLESSIS, G.
(alphabetize as "P" or "D"?)

SAINT-JOSEPH, (BARON) A. DE  or  DE SAINT-JOSEPH, A.
(alphabetize as "S" or "D", with or without "Baron"?)

D'URBAN, W.S.M.  or  URBAN, W.S.M. D'
(alphabetize as "U" or "D"?)

WILLEMOES-SUHM, R. VON  or  VON WILLEMOES-SUHM, R.
(alphabetize as "W" or "V"?)

With many thanks in advance.

Responding to Frank Licher's question about proper names, he notes the
following:
>
>LINNE, CHARLES  or  LINNAEUS, CAROLUS
>

Linnaeus was born as "Carl Linnaeus." Later in life, when he was recognized
as part of nobility, his name was changed to "Carl von Linne." I've seen
one portrait, which appears to be a copy from another, where he has the
name "Charles Linne." I don't think Linnaeus ever referred to himself as
"Charles". I believe "Carolus" is just a latinized form of "Carl". I
suggest using "Carl Linnaeus."

Subject:       Re: authors with aristocracic title

Considering Monsieur le Baron de Saint Joseph :

some years ago , people enjoying an aristocratic title ("titre de
noblesse royale, d'Empire ou papale") arriving in some official reception
at the Palais de l'Elysee (where the French President of the Republic
"lives") was announcing as "Monsieur le Baron, Madame la Marquise, Son
Altesse Serenissime, and so on...". Since around 2 decades (as Valery
Giscard d'Estaing, who is not an aristocrat!)  was President de la
Republique such presentations are non longer utilized! 

So I suggest, concerning my compatriot to discard "le Baron" pour A. de
SAINT JOSEPH (in any case "de" could be write as "DE"). For other reasons,
it's different for DE GAULLE, but he was not polychaetologist, so no
matter of trouble! As I'm not very fluent in Italian, I cannot be sure of
the fact that DALLA Torre or DELLE Chiaje have an aristocratic
signification (von Dalla Torre may be get his von, from the Austrian
Emperor !) . Our Italian Colleagues have probably clarified this problem!

The best to you all Polychaetologists

The current use varies with the languages, as far as alphabetical lists 
of authors for bibliography are concerned. At least in German (von) and 
French (de) the most common particles are arranged after the family name
(Marenzeller, von; Blainville, de). Current use in Italian appears to be
different: Delle Chiaje, Della Croce, Di Geronimo, etc.
As for the Dutch, fellow polychaete worker Harry ten Hove told me that in 
bibliographies he prefers to figure as Hove, ten (with his geographic? not 
aristocratic? particle) behind.
I remember a South African author with a somewhat "complexe" (for 
outsiders) name of Dutch origin (now to be considered as Afrikaans) 
"alphabetically" listed in three different ways, including in his own 
publications - either he had not decided a standard way to handle his 
own name, or he was imposed the three different versions by different 
editors of journals.

As for the version to be used as the author's name following a species
name, it surely would be convenient to always use the name without
whatever particle (parcimony), but this would be occasionally in
contradiction with with above.

In partial reply to Frank Lichers question, I paste below a discussion on
a similar subject I had some time ago with Gary Gaston. By the way, van,
von, ten, de, and similar pre-(not)-fixes not always indicate nobility.

Dear Gary,

You touch a raw nerve here, an everlasting problem. Recently I discussed
this with at least 3 persons, but unfortunately cannot refind the
discussion notwithstanding the fact that electronic searches are faster
than manual ones. I probably will have stored the discussion that much
logical, that I will refind it immediately after I finish this 
explanation.

My family name is ten Hove. In the European fashion, however, Harry ten
Hove is catalogued as: Hove, Harry ten. American fashion is: Ten Hove,
Harry. Note the difference between the correct ten, and uncorrect Ten.

Thus citing myself in the text my personal preference is (ten Hove, 1996),
but in the References you will have to look under Hove, and depending the
wishes of the editing house the ten may be European style, or American Ten.
I try to be consistent in this, but as indicated the larger publishing
houses sometimes tend to do it the American way, and the entire series will
become (Ten Hove, 1996) and in the References Ten Hove. (you can imagine
the negative impact on publication lists compiled from the Science Citation
Index).

Mutatis mutandis the same holds for "de Jonge" and "van Beusekom", but also
for "de Quatrefages", which I never have found in a References under De,
always under Quatrefages. European fashion the family name is "de Jonge",
to be catalogued under Jonge, V.N. de; American fashion "De Jonge", V.N. I
presume that "De Jonge, 1992" already is a concession to the journal's
style.

It gets even more complicated with real double names as for instance my
former boss P. Wagenaar Hummelinck. His full family name is Wagenaar
Hummelinck, but in the social intercourse he usually introduced himself for
shortness sake as "Hummelinck". Nevertheless, in a References you will find
him under Wagenaar Hummelinck, P. and not as I have seen erroneously as
Hummelinck, P. Wagenaar, implicating that his preferred Christian name is
Wagenaar instead of the real one Pieter.

In conclusion, when you want to make certain that the references can be
found, you might make a double entry in the References:

Hove, H.A. ten, 1994.- Serpulidae ( Annelida: Polychaeta) from the
Seychelles and Amirante Islands. In: Oceanic Reefs of the Seychelles.
Cruise Reports Neth. Indian Ocean Program, II (ed. J. van der Land),
Nat.Nat.Mus. Leiden, p.107-116, 1 table.

Ten Hove, H.A. see Hove, H.A. ten.

[Note some lines above: J. van der Land, to be cited correctly in the
European fashion under L]

The American way may be more consistent and easy for the general public.
However, trying to find papers in (older) European data banks you won't be
able to locate the stuff, unless you are aware of the problem and do a
double (even treble) search.

Hoping that this clarifies the muddy issue,

Wormly

Either is permissible :-)

HOWEVER, I am delighted to take this opportunity to obfuscate further by 
insisting that strictly it should M'Intosh, without the 'c' or the 'ac' 
(check a few of his papers and see for yourselves - mostly it's M'Intosh). 

When he died his obituary in The Times was titled "Professor M'Intosh, the 
Doyen of Marine Zoology", but the New York Times had the more telegraphic 
approach with "Prof. MacIntosh, Scientist, Dies, 92" 

The definitive entry in Dict. Nat. Biog. is as M'Intosh.

Re: M'Intosh

Geoff is correct that M'Intosh is the correct spelling, although in 
the British Marine Annelid monograph McIntosh was written "McIntosh".

M' and Mc are prefixes derived from Mac (meaning "son of"). The M' 
prefix seems quite old and was probably variously employed  at 
first (3-4 centuries ago). However, as people began standardising 
surnames, the names stabilised.  Different branches of the clan 
MacIntosh would therefore become MacIntosh, M'Intosh, McIntosh etc., 
in addition to other spelling variants (MacIntoch and the like).

Prof. M'Intosh usually used the M' spelling and this is clear from 
the account of his life by Gunther, A.E.(1977): William Carmichael
M'Intosh, M.D., F.R.S.-St. Andrews University Publications No. LXI,
Scottish Academic Press Ltd. 214 pp.  This may still be available (stlg5 I
think) from the Keeper of Manuscripts, University of St. Andrews Library,
North Street, St. Andrews, Fife KY169TR.

Albert Everard Gunther is the son of M'Intosh's nephew and from the 
family tree presented in the publication it appears that the name
M'Intosh did not continue in  St. Andrews. Prof M'Intosh was an only 
son (with 5 sisters) and he left no children to continue the family 
name. Today M'Intosh does not feature in the St. Andrews area 
telephone directory.

So, how should we cite "M'Intosh"? Well, there are different 
approaches to the citation of Mac- and Mc- prefixes. I have seen them
listed in a straight alphabetical way and with the Mc's before the other
M's. Our librarians here treat Mc and Mac as equivalent, listing them
alphabetically according to the main part of the name. Gunther himself
employs this method, and as Mac, Mc and M' are variations of the same this
is perhaps logical. In Gunther we have the following order listed in the
index: Macadam, McAndrew, Macdonald, Macduff, M'Intosh, Mackenzie,
Maclagan, Macvicar. Thus the names are treated as commencing with "Mac",
but have their particular spellings retained.

Hope this helps! Regards, Andy Mackie (not McKie)

McHugh, D.  1997.  Molecular evidence that echiurans and pogonophorans are
derived annelids. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA 94:
8006-8009

ABSTRACT		"The Annelida, which includes the polychaetes and the
clitellates, has long held the taxonomic rank of phylum. The unsegmented,
mud-dwelling echiuran spoon worms and the gutless, deep-sea pogonophoran
tube worms (including vestimentiferans) share several embryological and
morphological features with annelids, but each group has also been
considered as a separate metazoan phylum based on the unique characters
they display. Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences from the nuclear gene
elongation factor-1a place echiurans and pogonophorans within the Annelida.
This result, indicating the derived loss of segmentation in echiurans, has
profound implications for our understanding of the evolution of metazoan
body plans, and challenges the traditional view of the phylum-level
diversity and evolutionary relationships of protostome worms."

List members may find the 2nd to last paragraph of the paper particularly 
challenging.

A reminder to  check who you are replying to. This is especially
important with replies to mail originating from a list. Look carefully in 
the 'To' address box and in the 'Cc' address box before you fire the

If you send an intended personal message to annelida@net.bio.net (as a
significant number did last time there was a reprint offer), it falls to
me to deal with the message and to forward it on to the person. I'd
rather not spend my time doing that!

The Annelid resources WWW pages hosted by the Biodiversity and Biological

beginning November 1, 1997, while the host machine is moved to a new
location.

The ANNELIDA mailing list and its archive at Bionet are of course 
unaffected.

Sorry about this unwelcome upheaval. I'll repost when BBCWS is back
online and the new url is available. Hopefully I can find the time &

Subject:       Value of book

A good friend of mine recently received a mint condition 1903 PNAS that
included, amongst other things, Percy Moore's "Polychaeta from the
Coastal Slope of Japan and from Kamtchatka and Bering Sea". The pages had
not even been separated (whatever that old binding style is called when
the top of the pages need to be cut to read). Anyway, sadly, when the book
arrived it looked like the package had gotten caught in a machine. It was
shredded. The package had been loosely taped, and had a note saying that
it had arrived in Juneau like this. Enough of the sad story. 

I was wondering if anyone had a ballpark figure of how much a book like
that would cost to replace. I am currently attempting to get some
recompensation from the post office, but am clueless about the value. I
would appreciate any information. Thanks - Aaron
