WUELKER, Wolfgang WOLFGANG FRIEDRICH WÜLKER, ON THE OCCASION OF HIS 85TH BIRTHDAY Wolfgang Wülker was born on 25 September 1925 to get grants to visit Wuelker in Freiburg. In their at Frankfurt, Germany. brief stay there Jim and Wolfgang held endless dis- cussions on midge taxonomy and Mary focused on In 1952 he began working as a scientific assistant getting a camera lucida drawing of some of the Keyl at the Hydrobiological Station Falkau arms. Wolfgang became more entranced with the (later the Limnological Institute of the University possibility of using polytene chromosomes in Chi- of Freiburg, Walter Schlienz-Institut). His initial ronomid taxonomy and phylogeny and spent some publications were on fish, but papers on chirono- time in other labs in Germany becoming acquainted mids began appearing from 1956. He was at Falkau with methodology and cytotaxonomy in general. for about 10 years and added to the collection of the station both specimens from the Black Forest area, and specimens collected on his research trips to Spain (1954), Fennoscandinavia (1956), Sudan (1963), USA and Canada (1964). He did his Habilitation in Zoology and Limnol- ogy on intersexuality in Chironomus and the biol- ogy of Sergentia at the University of Freiburg, in 1960. Then in 1962 he joined the University of Freiburg. After his official retirement Wolfgang continued to work at the University, later transferring his labo- ratory to his home. Wolfgang was involved in collaborations with col- leagues in many countries during his long career, some of which lasted for many years and produced many publications. A photograph of Wolfgang with Jim Sublette in Portales, N.M. in 1964 was reproduced on page 6 of volume 21 of this news- letter. His collaboration with Jim Sublette, Jon Martin and later Mac Butler, has produced 16 pa- pers from 1967 to the present; that with the Rus- sian workers, notably Iya Kiknadze and her group, 15 since about 1993; seven with the Swiss group Wolfgang Wülker.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left handcorner of a large sheetand to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA).

  • 1 North American Species of The
    North American Chironomus, v.March 2018 NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF THE GENUS CHIRONOMUS as recognized by larval cytology and morphology (includes CHAETOLABIS, LOBOCHIRONOMUS and EINFELDIA (sens. lat.) and species included in Tendipes by Townes (1945) but now placed in other genera) by Jon Martin Genetics, Genomics and Development, School of Biosciences, The University of Melbourne, Victoria 3010, Australia. Analysis of the karyotype of the polytene chromosomes in the fourth instar larvae has indicated the presence of a much larger Chironomus fauna than indicated in the revision of Townes (1945). Some of these species have been described subsequently, but many remain undescribed. This list gives some information on the larval morphology, karyotype, barcode and distribution of those species that have been recognized, along with some morphology of adults and pupae, and sources for DNA sequence data. It should be noted that even this list is not exhaustive as available material includes a number of specimens that do not easily fit this expanded list. In many cases the assigned names result from unpublished studies with the late Jim Sublette, and without the assistance of Jim, and of Wolfgang Wülker, this list would not have reached even the present degree of development. In the locality listings a couple of species are listed as “Hudson Bay Territory” in the absence of better information on the site of collection. Hudson Bay Territory (also known as Prince Rupert’s Land) existed from the 17th to 19th centuries and included the northern parts of Quebec and Ontario, all of Manitoba, and parts of Saskatchewan, Alberta, Nunavut Territory, Minnesota and North Dakota.
