The registration desk will be open Thurs 1600-2000, Fri-Sat 0730-1800, and Sun 0800-1000. Registration packets will be available at the registration table for those members who have pre-registered. Those who have not pre-registered but wish to attend the meeting can pay for membership and registration (with a $20 late fee) at the registration table. Unfortunately, banquet tickets cannot be sold at the meeting because the hotel requires final counts of attendees well in advance. The Attitude Adjustment Hour (AAH) is included in the registration price, so you will only need to show your badge for admittance. WSN t-shirts and other merchandise can be purchased or picked up at the WSN Student Committee table. A partial list of restaurants near the Embassy Suites, Seaside-Monterey Bay can be found at the end of the program. Continuing This Year! In addition to all the traditional WSN special events (see the schedule!), the dance immediately following the auction on Saturday night (so probably starting ~11 pm) is back by popular demand! The Student Committee will provide music. A cash bar will be available from 10 PM – 12 AM, and the dance floor will be open until 1 AM. Thanks to Student Travel Fund Donors We'd like to thank all of you who made donations to the Student Travel Fund when you registered; those funds are greatly appreciated by our many student members. Thanks to all! 2 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2012 1715 WSN STUDENT WORKSHOP (Center for the Future of the Ocean Conference room, Heritage Harbor, 99 Pacific Street, Monterey); Additional registration required NETWORKING WITH CONFIDENCE! by Elin Kelsey, of Elin Kelsey & Company 2030 WSN STUDENT MIXER London Bridge Pub (256 Figueroa St, Monterey, CA at the Monterey Harbor) Open to all graduate and undergraduate students; no ticket required.

Refer to www.HistoricPlacesLA.org for information on designated resources associated with this context as well as those identified through SurveyLA and other surveys. CONTRIBUTOR Daniel Prosser is a historian and preservation architect. He holds an M.Arch. from Ohio State University and a Ph.D. in history from Northwestern University. Before retiring, Prosser was the Historic Sites Architect for the Kansas State Historical Society. INTRODUCTION The “Pre-Consolidation Communities of Los Angeles” context examines those communities that were at one time independent, self-governing cities. These include (presented here as themes): Wilmington, San Pedro, Hollywood, Sawtelle, Eagle Rock, Hyde Park, Venice, Watts, Barnes City, and Tujunga. This context traces the history of each of these cities (up to the point of consolidation with the City of Los Angeles), identifying important individuals and patterns of settlement and development, and then links the events and individuals to extant historic resources (individual resources and historic districts).

  • Interspecific Variation in Metamorphic Competence in Marine Invertebrates: the Significance for Comparative Investigations Into the Timing of Metamorphosis Cory D
    662 Interspecific variation in metamorphic competence in marine invertebrates: the significance for comparative investigations into the timing of metamorphosis Cory D. Bishop,1,* Megan J. Huggett,* Andreas Heyland,y,§ Jason Hodin,¶ and Bruce P. Brandhorst** *Kewalo Marine Laboratories, 41 Ahui St. Honolulu, HI 96813 USA; yFriday Harbor Laboratories University of Washington, 620 University Road, Friday Harbor, WA 98250 USA; §Whitney Laboratory for Marine Biosciences, University of Florida, 9505 Ocean Shore Blvd, FL 32080 USA; ¶Hopkins Marine Station, Stanford University, Oceanview Boulevard, Pacific Grove, CA, 93950 USA; and **Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6, Canada Synopsis Metamorphosis in marine invertebrate larvae is a dynamic, environmentally dependent process that integrates ontogeny with habitat selection. The capacity of many marine invertebrate larvae to survive and maintain metamorphic competence in the absence of environmental cues has been hypothesized to be an adaptive convergence (Hadfield and others 2001). A survey of the literature reveals that a single generalized hypothesis about metamorphic competence as an adaptive convergence is not sufficient to account for interspecific variation in this character. In an attempt to capture this variation, we discuss the “desperate larva hypothesis” and propose two additional hypotheses called the “variable retention hypothesis” and the “death before dishonor hypothesis.” To validate these additional hypotheses we collected data on taxa from the published literature and performed a contingency analysis to detect correlations between spontaneous metamorphosis, habitat specificity and/or larval life-history mode, three characters relevant to environmentally induced settlement and metamorphosis. In order to account for phylogenetic bias in these correlations, we also constructed a phylogeny of these taxa and again performed a character-correlation analysis.

  • Genetic Population Structures of the Blue Starfish Linckia Laevigata and Its Gastropod Ectoparasite Thyca Crystallina

We studied the comparative genetic population structure based on partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene of the blue starfish Linckia laevigata and its gastropod ectoparasite Thyca crystallina in order to elucidate evolutionary processes in the Indo-Malay Archipelago. AMOVA revealed a low fixation index but significant φ genetic population structure ( ST = 0.03) in L. laevigata, whereas T. crystallina showed panmixing φ ( ST = 0.005). According to a hierarchical AMOVA, the populations of L. laevigata could be assigned to the following groups: (1) Eastern Indian Ocean, (2) central Indo-Malay Archipelago and (3) West- ern Pacific. This pattern of a genetic break in L.
