PERLA SUPPLEMENT 1 The International Society of Plecopterologists Febuary 5, 2015 An Index to the First 40 Years of Perla: Annual Newsletter and Bibliography of the International Society of Plecopterologists Grant D. De Jong GEI Consultants, Inc., 4601 DTC Boulevard, Suite 900, Denver, Colorado 80237 Perla Issue 32, issued in March 2014, marks 40 years since the first issue was published in 1974. Over that time, the content format has changed little although appearances and how the newsletter is designed and edited have changed many times. Perla was originally envisioned to be the plecopterologist’s newsletter, an “organ by which communication between those interested in Plecoptera can be improved,” and Perla has succeeded and continues to succeed in this mission. Communications have included announcements and reports of the International Symposium on Plecoptera (and the often concurrent International Conference on Ephemeroptera), the North American Symposium on Plecoptera, member news, obituaries, and miscellanea. The Recent Plecoptera Literature usually fills up the last half or so of each issue. The first 10 issues were biennial, but then were moved to an annual basis in 1993. Appreciation is extended to the Managing Editors (Richard Baumann and Peter Zwick, 1974-1991; the late Kenneth Stewart, 1993-2004; and Boris Kondratieff, 2005-present) and the Editorial Board and assistants supporting them. The Standing Committee International Society of Plecopterologists has financial oversight of Perla. Issues 23 through 32 are available online at http://plecoptera.speciesfile.org/HomePage/Plecoptera/PerlaList.aspx. Although my work on stoneflies is primarily limited to production taxonomy and interpretation of stonefly biology within the context of overall stream ecology for clients of GEI Consultants, Inc., I have personally found the information disseminated in Perla to be extremely useful. The Recent Plecoptera Literature helps me stay informed of recent developments in the field, especially now that the Society for Freshwater Science, formerly the North American Benthological Society, has curtailed their annual bibliographies. It is also helpful to see who is doing what in the member news, current research, and call for study specimens sections. I am jealous as I scan lists of specimens collected on the field trips associated with the International and North American Symposia. And, of course, who does not like the occasional article or poem thrown in for good measure? So, as an offering to help other stonefly workers research the troves of information in Perla, I have assembled an index to the first 32 issues of this periodical, representing the first 40 years of its existence. Hopefully, this will be useful to other plecopterologists who need to research a taxon, find associates in research, or just have a “I know I have seen that in Perla, but which issue is it in?” moment. First is a list of the members of the Standing Committee International Society of Plecopterologists, a history of the International Symposia and Lifetime Achievement Awards, the North American Plecoptera Symposia, 1 obituaries and other personal memories that have been printed, and miscellanea from articles to poems to book announcements. The conclusion is an index of every occurrence of human and scientific animal March 1, 2015 names in Perla, excluding names at the order level and above. I did not include any names from the “Recent Plecoptera Literature” sections, as those should be available through the SpeciesFile website.
