The publication of AN during the last 44 years (the first came in 1972) gives us a picture of the collective publication of Amphipod literature, and at periods also news about the Amphipod workers community - our Amphipod Way of Life. You can find some statistics for the 40 ANs at page 13. Many of the papers in the bibliography will be available at Ollis server - please send any papers you have that you see are missing on the server to the Olli, or place them on the server (info on how at page 54). Taxonomic information can be found in the World Amphipoda Database (part of WoRMS), more about that on page 10. Sadly, the political situation has compelled Murat Ozbek to postpone the organisation of an ICA in Izmir (Turkey) in 2017. All our thanks to Sabrina Lo Brutto for her courageous decision to take over the organisation of the ICA at one year's notice, now to be held at Trapani (Sicily) in 2017 (page 72). Just before the publishing date of this newsletter, the sad news that professor Ed Bousfield had passed away reached us, too late for an extensive obituary. This will come in AN4 1 . Statistics from this Newsletter 25 new genera 1 56 new species 1 new subspecies Where can you download old Amphipod Newsletters? World Amphipod Database ( http : //www. marinespecies . org/ amphipoda/newsletter.php ) Biodiversity Heritage Library fhttp : //biodiversitvlibrarv. org/ bibliography/1 16387#/ summary ) i Best wishes from your AN Editors, WLnv, Adam/, MOranda/ ayad A rvne/ Helene/ AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 40 2016 Interview with Boris Sket Dear Boris, we know you are very much interested in nature generally, in plants and animals nearly equally. Wim Vader told that he met you at the meeting in the USA first (is this right??), where you were the only one who knew all the names for those plants totally unknown to the other colleagues. Yes, it is most probable that we met first in USA. Wim probably exaggerated a bit, but yes, I am interested also in botany. As well as in many animal groups. Probably, responsible for my interest in amphipods and in cave animals is our (in Ljubljana, Slovenia) Natural History Museum. I was visiting it as a child, during the war already. I admired (why admired ??? - are they really so sexy?) there two exponats (see picture below) which are in my possession now. Evidently this poisoned me. Short CV inclusive hobbies = ’’recreational interests” Short CV of close to 80 years? Are you joking? Well, I give you just few facts , facta selecta. I was made long ago (very long ago) in Ljubljana, Slovenia, Yugoslavia. Four classes of elementary school in Ljubljana, secondary school in Bjelovar, Karlovac, Beograd, Ljubljana (in Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia). And all degrees of biology studies in Ljubljana again. Some episodes are: president of the Speleological Association of Slovenia (no, it is not a negligible organisation), president of International Society of Subterranean Biology, vice-dean and dean of the Biotechnical faculty, rector of the Univerza v Ljubljani (University in Ljubljana). But first of all, what is not just an episode, the founder and for some decades the head of the laboratory of zoology and speleobiology; nice, not anymore desired there. Except for skiing and transitionally numismatics, probably all my hobbies are tightly bound to research. Even when cave diving, I did not miss this - for example by meeting the most unusual, swimming asellid (not an amphipod, however) in Florida. I am a happy person. My professional work, research and teaching, they have all been my greatest hobbies. The field research at the top, of course. Not to forget: (only) some children and grandchildren. Not a hobby, but a great pleasure. With 2 children, 2 normal grandchildren and one leap-granddaughter (born on February 29 2012). Hobby again: in the living room, there is a lm 2 piece of the rain forest. The two admired exponats AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 40 2016 The ontogeny of Boris Sket Scientific career: Did you remain at the university of Ljubljana, or did you study/ work elsewhere? Yes, I started and finished in Ljubljana. Of course I could profit in a more competitive environment abroad, but evidently, my university was not such a bad school! By the way, I was giving lessons there on Invertebrate Zoology, Evolution, and Speleobiology. Why amphipods? Why not amphipods? In fact, I have been interested in a lot of topics, too many for a modern scientist. I have been always excusing myself (in front of myself) for this uneconomical behaviour by my teaching duties. A teacher has to have a broader knowledge... Did you publish also about other topics within zoology or botany? Well, botany was really only a hobby - except for being used for understanding some more general phylogenetic and biogeographic problems. No special publications. Otherwise, my main field of research and publication were different aspects of speleobiology (anchihaline caves in particular), particularly biogeography and evolution. E.g. I discovered some particular patterns of troglobiotic species distribution in the Dinaric karst. Beside that the (taxonomy - Typhlogammarus mrazeki (Montenegro - Croatia; 20 mm), one of numerous troglobiotic amphipods. In water, in the newly defined 'cave hygropetric' phylogeny-biogeography of) freshwater Isopoda, Hirudinea, of the cave salamander Proteus (we are calling it cloveska ribica, humane fish) and cave tube-worm Marifugia etc. But in fact, within taxonomy, I enjoyed most fun in aquatic Isopoda. Sorry, I nearly forgot to mention an important field of my research, the ancient lakes. Very interesting! I discovered speciation of Hirudinea in the lake Ohrid. Or, of Amphipoda (our joint group!) in the Chinese lake Fuxian Hu. Oh, I also discovered and described (with coauthors, however) the only troglobiotic cnidarian and the only troglobiotic freshwater poriferan (sponge). Note, that each such ‘excursion’, each new group demands first finding and than digesting a heap of 3 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 40 2016 additional literature. And this was mainly still in times when we were collecting literature on foot and by means of the snail-mail ... Why did you choose amphipods? In fact, I did not choose amphipods. I really started with Amphipoda & Hirudinea simultaneously, in my student years. Followed by something else. I must deeply apologise, I can not say that "studying Amphipoda is my 'way of life' ". But, it is an interesting part of it. Since when did you find your interest for molecular studies? Did you get ’’infected” by your students, by Cene Fiser for example? O, no, he is much too young for that. The main culprit or causer was a leech. I was studying a new (sub)species. According to traditionally used external characters, that species could only be classified a Trocheta sp. (1968 described as T. bykowskii krasense ssp. n.). But, it anatomically resembled a species from another genus, Dina , sooo much I saw the only possible solution for this intriguingcase in allozyme analysis. So I started to search for a person who could do such studies. I found first the tiny Irena Zajc and then the postgraduate Peter Trontelj. In the meantime the DNA analysis substituted the allozymes. We succeeded to get scholarship and sent Peter to Tubingen for PhD study and then we raised a laboratory. Must I emphasize that I myself never worked with 'molecules'? I have only been exploiting results of my progressive colleagues. I had been only suggesting research directions, preparing sampling strategies and then pulling from results some inferences. In general, I know well the problems and what we have to do, I know theoretically where to go, while the colleagues know how to go, how to climb, and so we are jointly searching the right solutions. A symbiosis, an active coexistence. And, in a great part, I did the field sampling, which was a particular pleasure; much less pleasant has been the often necessary molesting our foreign colleagues... A snapshot (some years ago) of the Research Group for Zoology and Spleleobiology, Univerza v Ljubljani. If we return now to the above mentioned leech Trocheta bykowskii krasense Sket - some years later we were able to redefine it as Dina krasensis (Sket). My doubts confirmed. With which amphipodologist did you have the best connection for exchange of ideas or common sampling? Both were amateurs and not amphipodologists. But, I obtained much support (mainly literature) also from the late Sandro Ruffo. With Stanko Karaman we exchanged some letters, but he died before I succeeded to visit him; in those times Skopje was so far away from Ljubljana! Useful contacts also with John Holsinger and, in 4 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 40 2016 Boris Sket performing field work. Here in a cave (Slovenia), and in a Karaman-Chappuis-sonde (Montenegro). particular with Ed Bousfield and Gordan Karaman; with Gordan and John we even co- authored some species. Which of your excursions was the best, in your eyes? Which locality most interesting? The best, the most prolific, was probably the iterated excursion to Dovjez, as much as nearly 5 km far from my home in Ljubljana. There was a Norton well (tubed pump) in the bank of the river Sava. Started in my student times. Little by little, I succeeded to obtain from that well more than 10 amphipod species - beside some other animals. All belonging to new species, of course. But, it was not just rich in species, it was also very instructive theoretically. Or the famous cave Vjetrenica in Hercegovina? Not to talk about the immensely visited Postojna-Planina Cave System. Or - as a group - Adriatic anchihaline caves? Difficult to decide. Where did you prefer to collect amphipods? During the most recent study (revision of Gammaridae) in SW Europe, where the situation is the most complicated, unresolved. Othervise in our Dinaric area, so rich in subterranean Niphargus and other amphipods - and other animals. Or somewhere in tropics; the amphipods are however poor there, but, there is some rain forest ... Boris with Felipe and Traudl at the conference-dinner at ICA 2015 in Aveiro Which meeting did you like most? The first one, in Verona, where I met first Sandro Ruffo and Gertraud Krapp-Schickel. Sandro left to make for me a heap of photocopies (of literature). How precious for that time of my beginnings. 5 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 40 2016 Something about your most cited or attention-grabbing articles? Not cited, but well accepted locally, was a newspaper article against discrimination of homosexual couples. Nota bene : I am a genuine hetero, proven. Jugogammarus kusceri (SE Slovenia, 5 mm) an endemic Ponto-Caspian relict. The most cited seems to be a paper with five coauthors. With 111 pure (whatever it means) citations. I am unpleasantly surprized that my paper on Ecology of the mixohaline hypogean fauna along the Yugoslav coast (Stygologia, 2(4): 317-338) which had been the first (globally first) complex ecological study of anchihaline caves and was even reprinted in Benchmark papers in Karst science (Spec. Publ. 11) Karst Waters Institute, 2007. For our readership will be probably interesting that in the Adriatic anchihaline caves, amphipods (mainly Niphargus spp.) play a similarly important role as shrimps in the tropics. What is your favourite amphipod species? - Probably Jugogammarus kusceri. Now a proven Ponto-Caspian element, but inhabiting water-moss mats in springs in SE Slovenia. A small, but nice animal (see picture). Or, probably the most remarkable niphargid Niphargus balcanicus (also see picture). No, it must be 'my' own volvating niphargid The troglobiotic Niphargus balcanicus (Hercegovina; 20 mm), a thorny lady with pink eggs in marsupium. 6 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 40 2016 Carinurella paradoxa. Yes, the favorite is paradoxa. Best species’ name? Could be Niphargobates / lefkodemonaki. Meaning something like: walking niphargus or snow-white walker / white little devil or little devil from White Mountains (from Lefka Ori - Aswcd Dprj). The last planned publication until now? It is one of five or more in pre-preparation. Who knows which one will be the last. Well, there is a long-lasting 'Revision of the revision of Gammaridae', in a permanent collaboration with Zhonge Hou. That's Amphipoda. Then, we are preparing a phylogenetic (or phylogeographic) analysis of troglobiotic European isopod genera Monolistra (Sphaeromatidae) and Sphaeromides (Cirolanidae). Description of a new shrimp genus from a Serbian cave. A total surprize. And a new Turcolana. All in coauthorships, of course. And, within this situation, somebody moved me to compose and write an identification key for Palearctic freshwater amphipods. Terrible. No, it is horrible. Mea culpa of course. Finally, maybe some concluding words of one who has observed quite a bit of change in our science during the last decades: WHERE, in which direction, is amphipodology obviously going and what would you recommend, or wish would be wise to choose? I think that two very urgent tasks are in front of us. Unfortunately, both depend on molecular analyses. 1 . We have to recollect and define also molecularly as many as possible already described taxa. As soon as possible, because the topotype (and other) populations are rapidly disappearing. To be due to the influences of the invasive species Homo sapiens. But, not so rarely also in collaboration with invasive amphipods. 2. We have to define and delimit molecularly, phylogenetically sound, genera and families. The homoplasies in the amphipod morphology are so omnipresent that their usability for phylogenetic inferences is any time questionable, doubtful. See pictures. The niphargid genus Niphargus is probably the best representative of these problems. But consider also the phylogenetic relations within the paraphyletic genus Gammarus which undoubtedly includes ca five families of diverse Bajkal amphipods! Or, all the troubles within the grouping Echinogammarus- Chaetogammarus- Homoeogammarus- EuroLimnogammarus-Qtc. Which have only recently been mainly solved. 7 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 40 2016 Morphology without a molecular support? By no means! A couple of fun examples: \ Niphargobates orophobata (Niphargidae; SW Slovenia) and Longipodacrangonyx naroccanus (? Metacrangonyctidae; Morocco) (drawings Boutin & Messouli) are hardly related at all, but differ virtually only in gnathopod shapes. Well, how funny, the palp is reduced in mandible in on while in maxilla 1 in the other. Carinurella paradoxa (SW Slovenia; 3 mm) and Niphargus scopicauda (NE Slovenia; 15 mm). Both phylogenetically belong to the same clade ( Niphargus ), but the only similarity is in mouthparts. I like CHARLIE ... and ALFIE too. ~T7 A/yip/lijpod // ett&r is Q^rat&ful to 'fraud/ Kra J pp'-Snhin/(&/ for produnir^ this t(und a^d / rft&r&sti > rt&rVi&u) ujith Bor>S 8 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 40 2016 Gloria Alonso In Memoriam 10 July 1950-29 July 2014 Gloria Maria Alonso was bom in Pigiie, a small town in the southwestern area of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. She then studied Biological Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) earning her degree in 1977. Shortly thereafter, she began her work at the Marine Biology Research Center (CIBIMA). As a result of her research in CIBIMA, in 1984 Gloria defended her PhD thesis -“Anfipodos Gammarideos Litorales del Mar Austral Argentino”- in the Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales (FCEyN), UBA. Her thesis was the pioneering work for the study of the marine amphipods of Argentina, focusing on the taxonomy and biodiversity of amphipods from Puerto Deseado, Santa Cruz Province. In 1986 Gloria obtained a fellowship from the National Scientific and Technical Research Council of Argentina (CONICET) for postdoctoral research at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, under the direction of Dr. James Laurens Barnard. She then returned to Argentina where she joined the CONICET as a researcher in the Argentine Museum of Natural Sciences (MACN). Additionally in 1996, Gloria spent a year at the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, Ocean Springs, working in collaboration with Dr. Sara LeCroy and Dr. Richard W. Heard. Gloria published 32 articles and 5 book chapters on amphipods. She described 25 new species and 2 new genera. She specialized in the family Phoxocephalidae, taxon for which she was invited to join the "Antarctic Amphipodologists Network" directed by Dr. Claude De Broyer. Two amphipod species were named in honor, Jassa alonsoae Conlan, 1990 and Coxophoxus alonso Sena, 2010. Also she named some species dedicating them to colleagues, friends and family: Gondogeneia thurstoni to Dr. Michael Thurston, Pachychelium barnardi to Dr. J. L. Barnard, Colomastix bastidai to Dr. Ricardo Bastida, Erikus lovrichi to Dr. Gustavo Lovrich, Ensayara gappai to Dr. Juan Jose Lopez Gappa and Linca pinita to her husband. Throughout her entire career, Gloria helped identify amphipods for almost all marine biologists in Argentina. In turn, many of them donated their samples for her taxonomic studies. She built very loving relationships with all these colleagues and friends, for who certainly Gloria's death meant a great loss. Even though Gloria was a person of few words, she always had a smile on her face, as shown in the photograph above. Ignacio Chiesa 9 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 40 2016 Report of Amphipod Editing Workshop Flanders Marine Institute (Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee - VLIZ) InnovOcean site, Ostend, Belgium 04-05th April, 2016 WAD Editor Group: Ta mm y Horton; Jim Lowry; Claude De Broyer; Oliver Coleman; Mikhail Daneliya; Jean-Claude Dauvin; Cene Fiser; Rebeca Gasca; Michal Grabowski; Ed Hendry cks; Lauren Hughes; Krystof Jazdzewski; Traudl Krapp- Schickel; Ann e-Nina Lorz; Tomasz Mamos; Cris Serejo; Anne Helene Tandberg; Mike Thurston; Wim Vader; Risto Vainola; Ronald Vonk; Kris White; Wolfgang Zeidler. WoRMS Data Management Team (DMT): keen Vandepitte, Bart Vanhoome, Stefanie Dekeyzer, Sofie Vranken. On the 3 rd of April, 2016, 23 of the 32 editors of the World Amphipoda Database (WAD) descended upon the small town of Ostend in Belgium to meet together to learn about the editing process, about the WoRMS database capabilities and tools, and to discuss group projects related to the database. The overarching aims of the workshop were to: • Gather all WAD editors to meet and discuss editing methods and processes. • To train the WAD Editorial Team in editing using the online interface. • To discuss priority information for entry to the database. • To encourage consistency in editing. • To plan a work-flow for adding and editing new taxa. • To discuss long-term plans and paper publications. Alongside these specific (work) aims I also aimed to enjoy editors, some of whom I had not yet had the pleasure of meeting, and some of whom I had met for the first time at the Amphipod Colloquium in Aveiro, just a few months before, where we discussed and formulated the idea of applying for funding of this workshop. It is all very well having discussions via email, but there is no substitute for sitting in one another’s company with the time to discuss all things Amphipoda over a Belgian beer or two! Thanks to our hosts at VLIZ and the sponsorship of the workshop by LIFE WATCH, we were all gathered in the same hotel. Consequently, on arrival many of us congregated in the hotel bar for the first unofficial meeting of the workshop. 10 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 40 2016 On the first day of the workshop we travelled across the harbour on the small ferry to reach the hosting institute, the Flanders Marine Institute (Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee - VLIZ). The morning was filled with presentations and discussions as the editors were shown the capabilities of the World Register of Marine Species, (WoRMS) database and the tools available to editors by the very capable and helpful WoRMS Data Management Team (DMT). Each attendee was asked to bring along a laptop computer and some data to enter or edit. This meant that the methods and tools could be demonstrated on the main screen and tried out by the editors on their own computers. Following lunch and further discussions amongst the participants, the afternoon was set aside for hands-on editing, with the DMT standing by to help with any problems that arose. It was an ideal way for the editors to learn to input their amphipod species information in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. At the end of a long day of editing we were treated to a beautiful sunset as we met for dinner hosted by LIFEWATCH at a restaurant overlooking the beach. The views were stunning, the food superb and the company was wonderful. It was a fitting end to a successful first day of the workshop. Day two of the workshop started with presentations covering the recent projects, funded also by FIFE WATCH, to allow editing of particular taxa on the World Amphipoda Database. These were by now largely completed and the grant holders gave reports on their work. An immense amount of editing was completed as a result of these grants and the work is still continuing. The full reports can be viewed here: http:// www.marinespecies.org/activities.php Discussions followed about a variety of ongoing projects which will lead to publications using data from or providing data to the database. Useful discussions were had concerning consistency in editing methods and short- and long-term planning (including the aim to have all new taxa in this issue of Amphipod Newsletter added to the WAD by the 11 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 40 2016 time it is published). The day ended with more hands-on editing and allowed participants to discuss and overcome any further difficulties with the process. In summary, it was a very useful workshop, enjoyed by ah who attended, and allowed us to familiarise ourselves fully with the ongoing task of editing the World Amphipoda Database for ah our users. I hope you find the World Amphipod Database useful for your research. It is continually being updated and improved, supported by an excellent team of 32 taxonomic editors. Please continue to send your comments or highlight errors to me tammv.horton@noc.ac.uk and don’t forget to cite the database when you use it!

Accessed at http://www.marinespecies.org/amphipoda on 2016-08-02 12 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 40 2016 AN - 40 issues - 45 years of bibliographies ANi came out in 1972 - and AN40 this year (2016). The editor has been the same, Wim Vader, in all these years, but technological progress has made it a bit easier over the years to keep abreast of the vast and wide amphipod literature, and not to overlook new taxa being described. A total of 10731 papers (a yearly average of 241) has been listed in the bibliography of AN1-40. In the same period, no less than 4836 new species of amphipods have been described, almost half of the total number of valid species described until now. As the red graph shows, the number of new taxa described varies greatly from year to year; from around 40 in 1993 and 1999 to almost 300 in 2006. Some of the the top years coincide with well-known publication events: in 2006 and 2012 the volumes of prof Ren: Amphipod contributions in the Fauna Sinica appeared, in 2009 the proceedings of the very successful Lizard Island workshop, while 1978 saw the publication of Barnard & Drummonds great paper on Australian Phoxocephalidae. When we compare productivity over the four decades (blue graph), we see that the output has been more or less constant, with a slight decreasing tendency, during the first three decades, but there is a definite increase in the period 2005 - 2014. At the time, there is a definite “generation change”, with many of the older taxonomists retiring (but still publishing), and many new, young colleagues entering the field. Sadly, as recently clearly shown by Olli Coleman in Aveiro (and see Coleman 2015), the possibilities for young taxonomists to get a permanent position allowing them to do taxonomic research are rapidly getting smaller, and it is therefore to be feared that the present increase in activity well may be a temporary one. 1600 1400 1200 ' 1000 ■ 800 - 600 - 400 ■ 200 ' 0 - 1 1 1 l 1975-84 1985-94 1995-04 2005-14 How do you get in touch with the Amphipod Newsletter?

(This important paper builds on the 2014 paper by Hou, Sket and Li, and thus the Gammaridae, as here defined, include a number of earlier accepted families, both Ponto-Caspian and Baikalian, as well as the Typhlogammaridae. (The Mesogammaridae, Caspicolidae and Pachyschesiidae were not included in this study and their status remains unclear.) There are discussions about the status and extent of the genera Gammarus and Echinogammarus. Horn oeogam m a ms. with type species Gammarus simoni , also includes a number of species earlier included in Gammarus or Echinogammarus (the E. pungens group); Ostiogammarus, Laurogammarus and Neogammcirus are synonyms. Chaetogammarus includes many Ponto-Caspian species. The new genus Trichogammarus is erected for Chaetogammarus trichiatus (of which Ch. tenellus major is a synonym). Echinogammarus now includes mostly freshwater species from SW Europe. The genus Marinogammarus is revived, as is Parhomoeogammarus. The new genus Relictogammarus is erected for Gammarus stoerensis , which seems to be the sister taxon to the rest of the family. There are also long and rich discussions of the lacustrine gammarids, and the fauna of relict lakes and the Ponto-Caspian, as well as about various morphological specializations.) HOWINSON, R.A., H.

Olli can include it on the server and the editors can include it in the bibliography.... HOW TO ACCESS OLLIS SERVER: 1) FTP Access to the amphipod server You can login into the amphipod server with ftp. Then use a ftp program, e.g. filezilla and connect to ftp://amphipod.dnsalias.net username: amphipod password: amphipod You can upload literature into the upload folder - but please only literature which is not in the download folder of the server (check carefully that only new files are being uploaded and do not copy all you have into the upload folder! !) 2) Setting up a mirror of the amphipod server, step by step: 1) Create and name a folder (e.g. amphipodserver or AmphLit or whatever you like) on your computer, or if you prefer on an external hard-drive. At the moment you need at least 50 GB of disk space, but as the content of the server is growing you might need more space. I would recommend 100 GB of space, just to have enough space in future. 2) Download resilio (it is free of charge): https: // www. getsvnc .com/individuals/ install it and then start resilio 3) If you are using Windows, resilio comes with a nice interface (the idea of the interface is: it will connect a key, a series of letters and numbers, with the folder you created). . . . if you are using wonderful Linux (best operating system on Earth!), resilio can be administered by a web-interface: http://localhost:8888/gui/ 4) When you open the interface (either the Windows app or the Web interface): click on the “Options” symbol (little toothed wheel symbol in the first row of the page to the very right) and select “Manual connection”. Put in the following key: BBWD3ADZZQFQRJ5U65HLGBBTEVSDPYDCP . . . .click on “next” and select the folder you created earlier; after a short while the synchronization should start, and you first find the folders and later the files downloaded from the amphipod server. The transfer can be interrupted at any time and continued later. 5) It is possible to autostart resilio, then you do not have to bother about synchronization. New files will appear in your folder automatically when you start your computer. If you target folder is on a external hard- drive, synchronization only works, when the drive is attached. - Or, alternatively you start resilio only, when you decided to synchronize the content of the amphipod server with your folder. 54 Oiil AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 40 2016 New taxa New genera and subgenera Abyssodedecas Tomikawa & Lindsay, 2016 Adaugammarus Sidorov, Gontcharov & Sharina, 2015 Borikenella Guerra-Garcia, Chatterjee & Schizas, 2015 Capeorchestia Lowry & Baldanzi, 2016 Ditmorchestia Morino & Miyamoto, 2015 Ezotinorchestia Morino & Miyamoto, 2016 Haptocallisoma Horton & Thurston, 2015 Huonella Hughes, 2016 Kokuborchestia Morino & Miyamoto, 2015 Leeuwinella Hughes, 2015 Maeraceterus Hughes, 2016 Marinogammarus Schellenberg, 1937 (rev.)

There were 104 oral and poster contributions, including 3 keynotes, distributed by the following themes: Biodiversity and biogeography, Phylogenetics and phylogeography. Morphology, Physiology, Ecology, Anthropogenic disturbance and climate change. Denis Copila§-Ciocianu was granted with the award for the best student contribution. The social programme included an icebreaker in Aveiro’s “Ciencia Viva” museum, the conference dinner in a “Espumante” cellar, and a farewell gathering at the city centre. The conference excursion consisted on a full day visit to the city of Porto, including a boat trip, Port wine tasting and visit to the cellars, and a tuk-tuk ride in Gaia and across the bridge to Porto. 63 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 40 2016 Presentations in Aveiro: KEYNOTE PRESENATIONS: Beermann, J., Dick, J.T.A., Thiel, M.

Amphipoda from a decade of sampling awaited further identification and analyzing. The Volkswagen Stiftung kindly funded this amphipod determination workshop, bringing together the expertise of 25 international colleagues. From about 50 stations from Icelandics deep-sea we identified 17935 individuals on family level - belonging to 27 families, and subsampled 200 individuals for sequencing. We highly enjoyed the enthusiasm and great spirit of our fellow amphipodologists. Thanks for turning this into a fun and most productive week. •sastela Brvc, AiA,iA,e-NLi/v,fl udrz, B-e^te .strai/usley The next workshop is coming soon! The IceAGE workshop "project synthesis" in Spala (University Field Station, Lodz, Poland) will take place 3rd to 7th of April 2017!

Because of the uncertain political situation in Turkey Murat has now felt compelled to the conclusion that the conference in 2017 cannot be held in Izmir. As preparations had already progressed quite some way, this constitutes of course a great disappointment for our Turkish colleagues. The colleagues in Dijon felt unable to take over the organization at such short notice. But Sabrina Lo Brutto in Palermo very courageously has offered to organize the 2017 ICA conference in Trapani, Sicily, probably in September 2017. She will need all the help she can get from all colleagues, as one year is a very short time to organize and finance a quite sizeable conference. The scientific committee is already at work in providing assistance. Further information will be given via the Amphipoda group on Facebook.
