We also expect to reprint this special issue as a separate book. More than 60 researchers have already been invited to participate. The topics of the papers to be considered will be diverse in nature with evolution, ecology, behavior, and conservation as the prime issues. There will be two major types of articles: a) review articles; and, b) specific articles that report either or both, field and laboratory work whose results provide new insights on the role played by the environment on the biology of these fishes. Papers will be arranged under the following sections: I. General perspectives: Synthesis of general information, e.g., the world’s hypogean fishes, phenotypic convergences, distribution, the history of hypogean fish research, and the impact of cave fish research on evolutionary and ecological thought. II. Ecology: Ecological issues related to the hypogean environment and how they have influenced hypogean fish adaptations. III. Morphology: Major morphological adaptations related to the hypogean environment. IV. Behavior: Behavioral adaptations, particularly differences between hypogean fishes and their epigean ancestors (e.g., reproductive, agonistic and schooling behavior, circadian rhythmicity, aggressiveness, responses to light, etc.). V. Physiology: Ecophysiology of hypogean fishes. VI. Evolutionary perspectives: Field/laboratory data as well as more synthetic views on issues such as colonization, genetic and phenotypic correlations, interactions between morphological and behavioral changes, evolutionary rates, gene flow, etc. VII. Hypogean fishes environment and conservation: Current status of hypogean fish conservation. Management tools. The deadline for manuscript submission is February 29, 2000. All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two experts. If you have any questions or wish to receive a copy of the Instructions to Authors, please do not hesitate to contact me. I encourage the use of electronic mail.

Why should we pump scientific information through "managers" or "opinion leaders" before it reaches the people when in a free society we can get it directly from the scientists?

I was wondering what that message was about on my email, from you, about 2 or three weeks ago -- something about flppancy accomplishes nothing. If you consider flippancy to be wrong, I guess you consider two wrongs to make a right. (BTW, posting to me on another ng on another topic at the same you sent your non-specific email was a bit misleading, don't you think?) But that's OK. Anyway, my young leftist friend, it's like this: I found on this ng a post entitled "We Do Not Need Population Control." Immediately this guy is at odds with me and the scientific community. It's written by someone with an east Indian name who assumes a tone of wisdom and proceeds to make his case, which amounted to an ad toward joining his group. It was rather seductive and something that young idealistic minds could get sucked into. But his whole case was pathetically full of holes in terms or REALITY. In short, this guy was presenting something potentially dangerous for young or gullible people. I methodically went through it and exposed it for what it was (nonsense). You did not choose to respond to the bulk of my more serious points, which are no longer on the board. In context, it seemed appropriate to finish with a little flippancy, and I do not apologize. I used to be a leftist myself, but over the years reality bopped me over the head enough times to wake me up. (NO, I'm not a conservative! . . . Independent.) I visited your website. Ironically, it looks like we may not be all that far apart on religion. I'm Pantheist.

My name is Liz Perotti and I write to you today as a student of conservation biology and environmental studies at BU, and as a concerned citizen, to urge any person with an interest in conservation and environmental issues to consider becoming a member of the MassSCB. Recently formed by faculty members and students of area Universities, along with people of many professions in the Massachusetts community, the Massachusetts Chapter of the Society for Conservation Biology (MassSCB) was created to promote awareness of conservation issues, serve as an outlet for career/professional and educational resources, and to conduct informational forums and events. Presently, there are no fees/dues and the membership consists of professionals, professors, and students. I have found the MassSCB to be a great way to get involved in conservation, meet people/contacts in many fields, and to participate in exciting events. I encourage you to send this to anyone you think may be interested. For more information or to contact a member or the e-board, check out the home page http://www.massscb.org or go directly to member registration http://www.MassSCB.org/Membership/. Enjoy the summer!

Sincerely, Francisco M. De La Vega PE Biosystems ================================================== Human Genome Variation: Analysis, Management and Application of SNP Data A session of the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 2000, Honolulu, Hawaii, January 5-9, 2000 Recently there has been considerable interest in using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) for the understanding of complex diseases and for pharamacogenetics. The human genetics community, both private and academic, is engaged in large scale SNP discovery efforts and assay development. With the imminent development of high throughput methodologies for automating the SNP discovery and screening process, it is likely that many if not all of the common polymorphisms will be identified and characterized in the next several years. As is often the case, data production may outpace current data management and analysis capabilities. New, specialized SNP databases are being designed and implemented to capture the impending flood of polymorphism data. Comprehensiveness of the captured data and the exploration of its intellectual content is essential. Computational methods and tools to handle and analyze polymorphism data flow will certainly play an important role in this challenge. Call for Participation The PSB 2000 session "Human Genome Variation: Analysis, Management and Application of SNP Data" aims to provide a timely forum in this area, bringing together computer scientists, bioinformatics specialists and biologists, from academia and industry, to address the forthcoming problems in the utilization of SNP information. We encourage academic, industrial and government scientists to submit manuscripts. In addition to a session for oral presentation of novel peer-reviewed contributions, there will be a panel discussion devised to foster exchange between industry and academic scientists. Participants are invited to discuss their issues with other peers in this panel session. Posters and computer demonstrations are also requested to complement the session. Topics The contributions should pose and discuss a specific problem that the biocomputing community will need to address, describe models, or propose specific solutions to a problem. Sequence polymorphisms will be the common theme, but the computational or theoretical contributions can span areas ranging from population genetics and evolution to data visualization and management. Among the anticipated topics are: Automation of large scale SNP genotyping. Data management and integration for SNP genotyping systems. Evolutionary aspects of genome variability and SNP analysis. Ontologies for human genome variation. SNP database mining and knowledge discovery. Statistical methods for SNP analysis. Tools for high throughput SNP discovery and screening. Visualization and analysis of SNP data. Submissions PSB will publish accepted full papers in an archival proceedings indexed in MEDLINE. All contributed papers will be rigorously peer-reviewed by at least three referees. A limited number of papers will be selected for a 30-minute oral presentation to the full assembled conference. Accepted poster abstracts will be distributed at the conference separately from the archival Proceedings. Please prepare your submission according to the instructions found at the Web page: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/psb/cfp-snp.html Dates & Deadlines Paper submissions due: July 12, 1999 Notification of paper acceptance: August 27, 1999 Camera ready of accepted papers due: September 24, 1999 Abstract deadline: October 1, 1999 Meeting: January 5-9, 2000 Conference Information The Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB 2000) is an international, multidisciplinary conference for the presentation and discussion of current research in the theory and application of computational methods in problems of biological significance.

Although the notion of competition is widely used within neurobiology, there is little understanding of the nature of the competitive process and the underlying mechanisms. We present a new theoretical model to analyse competition in the development of nerve connections. According to the model, the precise manner in which neurotrophins regulate the growth of axons, in particular the growth of their amount of neurotrophin receptor, determines what patterns of target innervation can develop. The regulation of neurotrophin receptors is involved also in the degeneration and regeneration of connections. Competition in our model can be influenced by factors dependent on and independent of neuronal electrical activity. Our results point to the need to measure directly the specific form of the regulation by neurotrophins of their receptors. -- Arjen van Ooyen, Netherlands Institute for Brain Research, Meibergdreef 33, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands. email: A.van.Ooyen@nih.knaw.nl website: http://www.cns.ed.ac.uk/people/arjen.html phone: +31.20.5665483 fax: +31.20.6961006 From owner-population-bio@net.bio.net Sun Jul 11 08:00:00 1999 Path: biosci!internet!biosci!not-for-mail From: biohelp (BIOSCI Administrator) Newsgroups: bionet.population-bio Subject: BIOSCI/bionet miniFAQ & Fundraiser Date: 11 Jul 1999 02:00:15 -0700 Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology Lines: 233 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Distribution: world Message-ID: <199907110900.CAA02890@net.bio.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net (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.

I'm a biology student at the University of Kiel, Germany. I'm in the last year of my studies and will have my exams in Jan./Feb. 2000. For my diploma dissertation I'm looking for an interesting field experiment in plant-population-ecology abroad. Language skills are english, spanish and french - and german of course...:) Maybe somebody knows anything? Especially plant animal interaction and spanish speaking countries are from interest. The experiment could take place from march to ca october. But all news are wellcome! Thanks a lot! All the best!

I`m a new user from Brazil, South America. My work is on ecology of bats. I would like to ask you something. There is a problem for neotropical bat researchers: how to estimate bat abundance in open areas. There are lots of papers on population estimates in roost sites, like caves, or in islands. But I haven`t found yet a suitable method to make such estimates in forests, where there is no big concentrated colony. It looks very hard to define population in such situations. Does anyone of you have read or done something on this subject? Thanks for your attention. best wishes Marco From owner-population-bio@net.bio.net Wed Jul 28 15:08:00 1999 Path: biosci!news.stanford.edu!newsfeed.stanford.edu!cyclone.bc.net!news.maxwell.syr.edu!howland.erols.net!portc02.blue.aol.com!audrey01.news.aol.com!not-for-mail From: xjprz@aol.com (XJprZ) Newsgroups: bionet.population-bio Subject: Need formula for exponential population growth.

How is this done? I can't get a single demographer on planet earth to tell me this. Strange. I guess they think it is obvious. I thought it was like calculating interest on a bank account. For the first year that is easy. The problem is compounding it year after year. Please help. Thanks. blue2000
