This journal will cover all aspects related with Marine biodiversity research. Original papers and review articles are welcomed. The journal has no page charges and 25 reprints are provided free of charge to the first author. We aim a rapid review of contributions targeting 3 months from submission to printed publication. Accepted manuscripts will become available as online version first (with DOI number). Manuscript submission is done electronically at the Journals Webpage http://www.springer.com/life+sci/ecology/journal/12526 or using this direct link: http://www.editorialmanager.com/marb/ Manuscripts accepted during next months will be appear in the first issue in March 2009 We are looking forward to your contribution! Sincerely Pedro Martinez Arbizu ... Aims and scope Marine Biodiversity is a peer-reviewed international journal devoted to all aspects of biodiversity research in marine ecosystems. Marine Biodiversity considers original research papers, short notes and reviews on taxonomy, systematics and phylogeny of any kind of marine organisms, on biogeography, morphological and genetic diversity, distribution of species, diversity patterns and gradients, co-existence of species and species interactions, processes and factors influencing community structure, structure and function of marine ecosystems, and present and historical use of marine biodiversity by human populations. Additional scope of the journal includes models and concepts explaining any aspect of species co-existence and species distribution, and descriptions of new methods to improve biodiversity research and species inventories. Marine Biodiversity specially encourages contributions dealing with the understanding of the evolution and maintenance of biodiversity in marine systems and the role of species in structuring marine ecosystem functioning. -- Prof. Dr. P.

Catania, K.C. (2008). Worm Grunting, Fiddling, and Charming - Humans Unknowingly Mimic a Predator to Harvest Bait. PLoS ONE 3(10): e3472.

And remarkably there is this forthcoming paper: Mitra, O.; Callaham, M.A.; Smith, M.L.; Yack, J.E. (2008). Grunting for worms: seismic vibrations cause Diplocardia earthworms to emerge from the soil. Biology Letters efirst. Subscriber access (not open to me): http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2008.0456 Abstract: "Harvesting earthworms by a practice called ?worm grunting? is a widespread and profitable business in the southeastern USA. Although a variety of techniques are used, most involve rhythmically scraping a wooden stake driven into the ground, with a flat metal object. A common assumption is that vibrations cause the worms to surface, but this phenomenon has not been studied experimentally. We demonstrate that Diplocardia earthworms emerge from the soil within minutes following the onset of grunting. Broadband low frequency (below 500Hz) pulsed vibrations were present in the soil throughout the area where worms were harvested, and the number of worms emerging decreased as the seismic signal decayed over distance. The findings are discussed in relation to two hypotheses: that worms are escaping vibrations caused by digging foragers and that worms are surfacing in response to vibrations caused by falling rain. There's online video for both papers. Both worked in Apalachicola National Forest.

A summary of the draft amendment was presented at the ICZ on August 27, during the Systema Naturae 250 symposium. The draft amendment was then refined via email discussion among Commissioners during the following month. In Paris, Commissioners voted separately in favour of three principles relating to publication. None of these passed unanimously, but all had at least a two-thirds majority among the twelve voting. ? Electronic-only publications should be allowed, if mechanisms can be found that give reasonable assurance of the long-term accessibility of the information they contain. ? Some method of registration should be part of the mechanism of allowing electronic publication of names and nomenclatural acts. ? Physical works that are not paper-based (e.g. CD-ROMs, DVDs) should be disallowed. -- Geoff Read http://www.annelida.net/ http://www.niwascience.co.nz/ncabb/ From Ampharete from yandex.ru Mon Oct 20 16:52:12 2008 From: Ampharete from yandex.ru (Igor Jirkov) Date: Mon Oct 20 20:05:33 2008 Subject: [Annelida] Jirkov, 2001 Message-ID: <163271224539532@webmail30.yandex.ru> The file I promised is here. http://narod.ru/disk/3269647000/Jirkov%202001%20(copy%203).pdf.html In a case of problems let me know Jirkov From g.read from niwa.co.nz Tue Oct 21 01:02:14 2008 From: g.read from niwa.co.nz (Geoff Read) Date: Tue Oct 21 01:05:16 2008 Subject: [Annelida] Images of Myxicola spp. Message-ID: <48FE2736.8045.00D5.0@niwa.co.nz> Hi all, Has anyone got Myxicola pics?

Colin Hermans one of the editors of this beautiful volume wrote that the Ultrastructure of Polychaeta is out of print for some time now. Taking this as an opportunity I would like to try to attract your attention to a kind of a new edition of this work which tried to review the new results obtained since this first volume has been published in 1988. It appeared 2005 under the title "Morphology, molecules, evolution and phylogeny in Polychaeta and related taxa" in the series "Developments in Hydrobiology" ISBN 1-4020-2951-9 or in Hydrobiologia volume 535/536 edited by Thomas Bartolomaeus and myself.

If you don't know much about it go to the annelida archives, where you can find the publication announcement at: http://www.bio.net/bionet/mm/annelida/2002-May/001985.html Here is the abstract - because I was unable to find it online, Zoological Record does not seem to have an entry for the book, and it is not in Igor's pdf: ABSTRACT The monography is dedicated to the taxonomy and distribution within the Arctic Ocean of one of basic groups marine macrozoobenthos - Polychaeta. All depths of a water area from the south of the Norwegian Sea and the Greenland Sea up to Bering strait are enveloped. The book consists of two parts. In the general part the external morphology, technique of the collecting and storage the Polychaeta is described. Distribution of Polychaeta within the Arctic has been analyzed in details. In the taxonomy part the original pictorial friendly keys and description of species are included. Species descriptions are mainly based on original material and richly illustrated by original drawings and accompanied by maps of distribution within the Arctic based on original data. Nine new species: Brada streltzovi, Brada tzetlini, Micronephthys hartmannschroederi, Phyllochaetopterus bhaudi, Pista malmgreni, Polycirrus fedorovi, Spio malmgreni, Spio tzetlini, Trichobranchus sikorskii are described. Generic revision of Ampharetidae has been made. Publication details. Personal Author: Jirkov, I. A. Title: Polychaeta of the Arctic Ocean / I.A. Jirkov. Publication info: Moscow, Russia : Janus-K, 2001. Physical descrip: 632 p. : ill. ; 30 cm. Transliterated title: Polikhety severnogo Ledovitogo Okeana. Note that the new species authorship may differ from the book author, eg spionids are by Sikorski, flabelligerids by Jirkov & Filippova Geoff -- Geoff Read http://www.annelida.net/ http://www.niwascience.co.nz/ncabb/ **************************** NIWA is the trading name of the National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research Ltd.

It is not clear from your message what your research question/hypothesis/aim is... A number of key papers on taxonomic surrogates would indeed support higher-level taxonomic groupings, if that is what you are after I could provide you with some of this literature?
