Taxonomic Workshop Notes Polychaete taxonomy workshops were conducted at Ecology’s benthic laboratory from July 2013 through August 2014. These sessions were led by Kathy Welch1, Ecology’s taxonomic specialist. A total of 20 polychaete families and 127 species were reviewed during these workshops. They are listed in the table on the following page. Key morpho- logical features for Puget Sound species were described and photographed, peer-reviewed taxonomic literature was consulted and referenced, and notes were generated. Notes for each workshop are posted to Ecology’s website, accessible through the “Taxonomic guides” link provided on the previous page. 1 recently retired from the Department of Ecology Page 3 Phylum Annelida: Polychaete families and species examined Ampharetidae Maldanidae Paranaitis polynoides Amage anops Axiothella rubrocincta Phyllodoce cuspidata Ampharete labrops Chirimia similis Phyllodoce groenlandica Anobothrus gracilis Chirimia nr. biceps Phyllodoce hartmanae Apistobranchidae Clymenura columbiana Phyllodoce longipes “Clymenura” gracilis Sige montereyensis Apistobranchus ornatus Apistobranchus tullbergi Euclymene cf. zonalis Polynoidae Isocirrus longiceps Capitellidae Gattyana cirrhosa Maldane sarsi Barantolla nr. americana Harmothoe imbricata Nicomache personata Capitella capitata Complex Lepidasthenia berkeleyae Nicomache lumbricalis Heteromastus filobranchus Lepidasthenia longicirrata Notoproctus pacificus Mediomastus ambiseta Malmgreniella bansei Petaloproctus borealis Tenonia priops Mediomastus californiensis Petaloproctus tenuis Notomastus hemipodus Sabellariidae Praxillella gracilis Notomastus latericius Idanthyrsus saxicavus Praxillella pacifica Neosabellaria cementarium Cirratulidae Rhodine bitorquata Aphelochaeta glandaria Complex Scalibregmatidae Nephtyidae Aphelochaeta monilaris Asclerocheilus beringianus Bipalponephtys cornuta Aphelochaeta sp.

PETTIBONE SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 428 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

    SUPPORTING INFORMATION APPENDIX 1: Data Sources The next 64 pages comprise a reference list for all literary sources given as references for trait scores and/or comments in the sFDvent raw (marked with an asterisk (*) if not then included in recommended) and/or recommended datasets (Tables S4.3 and S4.2, respectively). These references are not in alphabetical order, as the database is a ‘living’ record, so new references will be added and a new number assigned. In the recommended dataset (Table S4.2), the references are recorded according to the numbers listed below (and in Table S1.1), to ensure that citations are relatively easy for users to carry through when conducting analyses using subsets of the data, for example. If a score in the recommended dataset is supported by more than one reference, multiple reference identifiers are provided and separated by a semi-colon (;). The references are not provided as numbers / identifiers in the other versions of the dataset, as information is lost during this processing step (e.g., ‘expert opinion’, or 66, replaces comments made by experts in each reference column regarding additional observations, rationale for certainty scores, etc.), which may prove useful for some users. Other versions of the dataset thus maintain raw reference entries for transparency and as potentially useful metadata. We provide a copy of the recommended dataset without the references as numbers (Table S4.2A), in case it is easier for users to cross-reference between the two sheets to seek additional comments for a given data subset of interest. 1.
