ESTEBAN Institute of Freshwater Ecology, Windermere Laboratory, The Ferry House, Far Sawrey, Ambleside, LA22 0LP, UK, fax: 015394 46914, e-mail: b.®[email protected] Received: 24 December 1997; accepted: 23 April 1998 The purpose of this article is to pull together various elements from current knowledge regarding the natural history of free-living protozoa in fresh waters. We de®ne their functional role, set the likely limits of `biodiversity', and explore how the two may be related. Protozoa are unicellular, phago- trophic organisms, and 16 phyla of protists contain free-living freshwater protozoan species. They are the most important grazers of microbes in aquatic environments and the only grazers of any importance in anoxic habitats. In sediments, ciliates are usually the dominant protozoans. Benthic ciliate biomass accounts for slightly less than 10% of total benthic invertebrate biomass, but ciliate production may equal or even exceed invertebrate production. -
2,400 Years of Malacology
Version 1.0 – June 16, 2004 2,400 Years of Malacology Eugene V. Coan1 Alan R. Kabat2 Richard E. Petit3 ABSTRACT This paper provides a comprehensive catalog of biographical and bibliographical publications for over 5,000 malacologists, conchologists, paleontologists, and others with an interest in mollusks, from Aristotle to the present. For each person, the birth/death years and nationality are given (when known), followed by bibliographic citations to the literature about that person and his/her collections and publications. Appendices provide citations to (1) publications on oceanographic expeditions that resulted in the collection and description of mollusks; (2) histories of malacological institutions and organizations; and (3) histories and dates of publication of malacological journals and journals that are frequently cited in malacological publications, such as those of the Zoological Society of London.

Every generation of malacologists has been faced with this perennial problem, whether out of curiosity, or driven by a need to solve a problem relating to some aspect of molluscan taxonomy, systematics, or a wide range of other research and collection management issues. -
Trees and Networks Before and After Darwin Mark a Ragan

Abstract It is well-known that Charles Darwin sketched abstract trees of relationship in his 1837 notebook, and depicted a tree in the Origin of Species (1859). Here I attempt to place Darwin's trees in historical context. By the mid-Eighteenth century the Great Chain of Being was increasingly seen to be an inadequate description of order in nature, and by about 1780 it had been largely abandoned without a satisfactory alternative having been agreed upon. In 1750 Donati described aquatic and terrestrial organisms as forming a network, and a few years later Buffon depicted a network of genealogical relationships among breeds of dogs. In 1764 Bonnet asked whether the Chain might actually branch at certain points, and in 1766 Pallas proposed that the gradations among organisms resemble a tree with a compound trunk, perhaps not unlike the tree of animal life later depicted by Eichwald. -

New genera include: Semilukispira, Teutonophon, Goldfussoceras, Manitobiella, Ibergia, Humboldtiella, Paragnesia, Winterbergiella, Spiniplatyceras, Roemeriella, Devononerita, and Dahmeria. In addition, one new Silurian genus, Ornatosinuitina, is established.

Not only is it time for another Editorial, but it is time for a Valedictory Editorial as I will soon be relinquishing the reins of this great beast and passing the torch on to someone younger, more dynamic and (I hope for his sake!) more organised. I see from the technicoloured array of newsletters lining the shelf by the door that the first one I had the privilege of editing was a suitable, youthful shade of green. Gradually through the years the heat and passion have built up as yellows made way to reds and finally – I see from the proof on my desktop – I will finish off my stint with a rather fetching shade of pink. This could be the pink of ‘happiness’, ‘light-heartedness’ or perhaps ‘desire for the carefree days of childhood’, depending on which website one chooses to believe. -
