AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 Interviews THIS NEWSLETTER FEATURES INTERVIEWS WITH ALICJA KONOPACKA AND KRZYSZTOF JAZDZEWSKI PAGE 2 MICHEL LEDOYER IN MEMORIAM PAGE 14 BIBLIOGRAPHY PAGE 19 WORLD AMPHIPODA DATABASE PAGE 17 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 Dear Amphipodologists, We are delighted to present to you Amphipod Newsletter 39! This issue includes interviews with two members of our amphipod family - Alicja Konopacka and Krzysztof Jazdzewski. Both tell an amazing story of their lives and work as amphipodologists. Sadly we lost a member of our amphipod family - Michel Ledoyer. Denise Bellan-Santini provides us with a fitting memorial to his life and career. Shortly many members of the amphipod family will gather for the 16 th ICA in Aveiro, Portugal. And plans are well underway for the 17 th ICA in Turkey (see page 64 for more information). And, as always, we provide you with a Bibliography and index of amphipod publications that includes citations of 376 papers that were published in 2013-2015 (or after the publication of Amphipod Newsletter 38). Again, what an amazing amount of research that has been done by you! Please continue to notify us when your papers are published. We hope you enjoy your Amphipod Newsletter!

The group of amphipod workers in Poland has always been a visible and valued part of the amphipod society. They have organised two of the Amphipod Colloquia and have steadily provided important results in the world of amphipod science. For this edition of the Amphipod Newsletter, the editors have asked Michal Grabowski and Karolina Bacela-Spychalska to interview the retiring seniors Alicja Konopacka and Krzysztof Jazdzewski. Alicja Konopacka When and why did you start studying amphipods? Well, my „amphipod way of life” wasn’t very straight; however I always wanted to be a scientist. First, in 1970 I did a master’s degree in biochemistry at the University of Lodz, in my hometown in Poland. I was studying activity of hormones extracted from thymus of calves. I was fascinated by physiology of metabolism and biochemistry - a supermodern science at that time, which, I believed, was opening wide horizons compared to traditional zoology or botany. But, simultaneously, I wasn’t very keen on regular visits in slaughterhouse in order to receive fresh (still warm) glands for my studies. And soon I realised that 1) I cannot imagine my whole scientific life in slime and blood, 2) what really fascinates me is biology at the level of organisms - their diversity, way of life and interaction with other components of ecosystem. So I applied for an assistant position in the Laboratory of General Zoology (which later transformed to the Department of Invertebrate Zoology & Hydrobiology) at the same university and also decided to do another master’s degree, this time in zoology, which I accomplished in 1973. My first objects of zoological studies weren’t amphipods but freshwater sponges (Porifera) and their associated, symbiotic and commensal, fauna. This became a subject for my doctoral thesis that I defended in 1981. But again sponges, however very interesting, were lacking something... some dynamics, I would say... So, again, I was looking for a subject to explore... Krzysztof (Jazdzewski) was then an associate professor at the department, already well experienced in studying marine (including Antarctic ones) and freshwater amphipods. He proposed me to join him in the research upon the distribution, ecology and taxonomy of amphipods in inland waters of Poland. It was in 1982 and that’s how my life- long adventure with amphipods started. What are your favourite amphipod species names? w AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 There are many, but two of them come to mind first. They are Gammarus leopoliensis and Chelicorophium curvispinum - each for a very different reason. Let me explain that, please. First, G. leopoliensis , I have described with Krzysztof in 1988 as a species new to science from the western outskirt of Eastern Carpathians that are now the Poland’s eastern border. The adjective “ leopoliensis ” refers to Leopolis (meaning “the city of lions”), which is a Latin name of Lviv/Lwow - a nearby major city in Ukraine. It is to commemorate a long tradition of this city as a prominent academic and cultural centre, very important both for Polish and Ukrainians and a symbol of bonds between the two countries. This beautiful city full of historical buildings is a home to one of the oldest academies in Eastern Europe. It’s Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (formerly Jan Kazimierz University) founded in 1661. Among their numerous notable alumni and professors were: Henryk Arctowski (oceanographer and Antarctica explorer), Rudolf Weigl (biologist and inventor of the first effective vaccine for epidemic typhus), Stefan Banach (mathematician, father of functional analysis), Janos Bolyai (mathematician, founder of non- Euclidean geometry), Ivan Franko (poet and linguist, reformer of the Ukrainian language), Stanislaw Lem (science-fiction writer). While this was serious, the second name, Chelicorophium curvispinum , always makes me laughing. In Latin curvispinum means “with curved spines” referring to the feature on the species chelae - nothing funny, right... but in Polish and other Slavic languages curva , although spelled with “k” and “w” is a vulgar word for a prostitute. Once I have a student working upon a life cycle of that species and she, asked by her non-academic friends about the subject of her study, mentioned the name. After a while, during next meeting, they politely and seriously asked her “And how is your work on this... prostitutis , is that right?”. Apparently the name ringed some bell... :-) Hope it’s not too obscene for the Amphipod Newsletter. . . What amphipod appendage(s) do you like illustrating the best? That will be a short one - meaning the answer, not the appendage. It’s pereiopod 7. There are couple of simple reasons. First, in gammarids it usually bears some important diagnostic features so it’s an appendage I look at very often. Second, it has very simple appearance compared to many other amphipod appendages so it can be drawn quite quickly. What amphipod appendage(s) do you like illustrating the least? Definitely the mouthparts! They’re so complex, and often asymmetric - particularly mandible, which is tridimentional in shape AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 what makes it particularly difficult to illustrate reliably on the sheet of paper. These are probably trivial answers to both the above questions but remember I’m not drawing that often. Now I’m buried in identifying tonnes of material for the biogeographical and ecological studies, not in taxonomy anymore. Where is your favourite place to collect amphipods? That relates a lot to my fieldwork as a beginner. My first serious sampling for amphipods was in the Pieniny Mountains in southeastern Poland - exactly in the same area, where we had the 15 th ICA in 2013. So you can imagine how sentimental it was for me to come back to that place as a senior amphipodologist, receiving the “Amphipod Way of Life” award and retiring that year. But getting back to the topic... my next sampling area were the Bieszczady Mountains, a part of Eastern Carpathians. Ever since then I love collecting amphipods in montane regions, in all those springs and fast flowing streams with all that picturesque landscapes around, icy- fresh air and deep-green forests... Particularly I recall the sampling trip to the Alps in May 2011. With Michal (Grabowski), Karolina (Bqcela-Spychalska), Remi (Wattier) and Tomek (Rewicz) during ten days we surveyed 50 alpine lakes, looking for the invasive killer shrimp ( Dikerogammarus villosus). It was obviously a very hard work but the circumstances of nature and the company were more than rewarding. Generally, fieldwork has always been a very important part of my amphipod work since I really love to see how those animals look when alive and in what habitats they thrive. With all the other guys from team we had so many collection trips all around Poland and also other European countries and we spent such a great time together - not only having fun while working but also visiting interesting places and enjoying local cuisines (as we’re all very fond of it). It wouldn’t be complete without saying that while identifying all these species in the lab it’s so great to bring memories associated with each sample label. Places you wished you never tried to collect amphipods? This is surely Antarctica. For a while I was also doing some work with the Antarctic material. I remember that while identifying Hippomedon kergueleni , I told Krzysztof that 4 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 it’s such a nice looking species but unfortunately blind. Krzysztof laughed and said that when alive the species has prominent red eyes. No traces of these eyes were visible in the fixed material. Then I started to wonder how all these Antarctic species really look like and how great it would be to see them alive and in that surrounding. Particularly that other colleagues from our department who worked there, witnessed the magic of the place. But well, I was mostly working with European freshwater species and also due to some health problems I have never visited Antarctica and never had a chance to sample there. At least some reward for that was to see the beautiful colour pictures of alive Antarctic amphipods made by Gautier Chapelle (from Belgium), who brought them to the 8 th ICA in Lodz in 1994. I think these were the first such good pictures of them I could see... Describe/name the most memorable amphipod moment(s)? There are so many of them, some I have already mentioned... One comes to my mind at the moment and it’s my first visit to Claude’s (De Broyer) labs in Brussels. It was in late 1980s, at the end of quite a gloomy decade in Poland, just before the Polish “round table”, free elections and all the political changes that have greatly reshaped our country. There was a shortage of nearly everything, including modern optical equipment, good access to scientific literature etc. And remember that this was also the pre-internet era. I was then studying some Antarctic material and couldn’t proceed without consulting a comparative collection and taxonomic papers we didn’t have an access to in Poland. And then I entered the very well organised Claude’s lab with his at that time not-yet-digitalised but perfectly organised taxonomic literature database devoted to Antarctic amphipods. In almost a second I could find the proper paper and illustrations for each identified species. The comfort of work and also hospitality of Claude and his wife, Anne-Marie, made me feeling heavenly in both scientific and personal terms. On the other side it made me also aware in how mediocre conditions we had to work back in Poland. Those times are long- gone and I’m sure that now it’ll all sound funny and almost unbelievably. But I cannot AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 help it that I spent nearly half of my life during “those” times and it still amazes me how it all changed since then. It also brings me a reflection that now too often people, particularly the younger generations, take things for granted and do not really appreciate the comfort of work they have... but possibly I go too pesky now... Describe/name your most memorable amphipod meeting/s)? Actually all the amphipod meetings are memorable due to the always “family- reunion” type of atmosphere, everybody mentions at every occasion. And it’s not only an expression but the reality of these meetings during which all the newcomers are quickly embraced in the society. Again, I have two flashbacks now, completely unrelated to each other. First is from the 7 th ICA in Walpole, Massachusetts in 1990, at the very end of the Cold War period. I remember talking to our late colleague Stella Vasilenko, then from Soviet Union, who complained to me that she was given the passport and was let out to visit the USA only at the condition that, until back to Soviet Union, she will keep this trip top secret even from her closest family and friends. I felt so sorry back then. Again, so good now the world’s different and I hope such times will never come back. My second flashback is the 8 th ICA in Lodz, Poland in 1994 - the first I co-organised with Krzysztof. It was such a great and unforgettable experience for me to host in my hometown all the colleagues and friends from all over the world with Traudl (Krapp- Schickel) and Wim (Vader) to be named among others. It was the first time I met Sandro Ruffo and spent friendly time with Jan Stock, the two “gods” from the Pantheon of amphipodologists. Particularly well I remember the very gentle young man named Adam Baldinger, then a freshman in amphipod research and a first-timer, both in ICA and in Europe. We made friends that time and since then I met Adam many times, observing how he gets established in the field. Our last meeting was again in Poland during the 15 th ICA in Szczawnica, another memorable meeting to me, what I have already mentioned. We know the work with other scientists can shape your life. We are sure many will like to hear about such your experiences if you’d like to share... As I have mentioned before, Krzysztof is the person to whom I inevitably owe being an amphipodologist. He directed me to study distribution of freshwater amphipods and their life histories - a subject to which I devoted most of my career. He also introduced me to other amphipodologists. That’s the feature I’ve always admired in Krzysztof - his will to share the knowledge and creating opportunities to other people and facilitating their development. Thanks to such attitude, our team has developed and grown re-shaping my “amphipod way of life” couple of times more. First time it was when I found the first 6 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 two invasive Ponto-Caspian amphipods in the Vistula River in 1996. In result we focused upon spread of the invasive amphipods and its consequences for the local species. Soon after, in 1998, Michal has joined our team after coming back from Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, Mississippi. He was still doing his PhD in phylogeography of penaeid shrimp but already started his “amphipod way of life” helping us a lot during field monitoring for the invaders. Soon he applied new skills to study their expansion patterns and also started to lead his own studies upon diversity, biogeography and phylogeography of gammarids and other crustaceans in the Balkan Peninsula. Few years later, Karolina became my graduate student, working upon life cycle of the invasive Pontogammarus robustoides. She has successfully continued studying invaders during her doctoral studies, broadening her scope also on their feeding ecology. Then she came for a post-doc to Thierry Rigaud and Remi Wattier in Dijon, France, and came back with a wealth of ideas to study behaviour of the alien amphipods and their interactions with parasites. Together with Michal their revitalised a lot our team and became its leaders, attracting new young and enthusiastic scholars, such as the two Tomeks (Mamos and Rewicz), Kamil (Hupalo) or Michal (Rachalewski), who has become part of our family of amphipodologists. Working together with all of them has broadened my horizons and also put my research on new tracks that I would never foresee before. And still it is a great adventure for me. Any other general thoughts/comments? Looking back from the perspective of a few decades, the satisfaction from my career only partially comes from the research and discoveries I made. Even more important is participating in the development of our team - working with people having new ideas and points of view. Also observing how the new students mature and get even more interested when proceeding with their research - eventually becoming independent researchers but, often, also partners in science. That progress, taking part in development of other people, knowing that work of my generation is continued and ameliorated is a source of great joy for me. gp 7 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 Krzysztof Jazdzewski When and why did you start studying amphipods? I think that proper year is 1958 when, as a student of biology at the University of Lodz, I was attending the student practice. First I was in Swinujscie (north-eastern Poland) in the Marine Fisheries Institute, where for a month I was taught to collect benthic fauna from the Baltic and Szczecin Lagoon. There were many crustaceans in the collected samples, but mainly amphipods. That time I was not interested in this group of arthropods and I remember that the most astonishing and fantastic crustacean for me was a cumacean Diastylis rathkii occurring in the southern Baltic. However, the amount of amphipods in / r , K« ; % /'■ JL» A • the samples was so evident and that was my first experience with these animals. Soon after I started my second student practice in the Hel Peninsula. I joined the group of students from Warsaw under the leadership of prof. Zdzislaw Raabe, the world famous protozoologist. We were also sampling benthic animals, but this time in other part of the Baltic - in the Bay of Puck. Professor Raabe suggested me to try to determine amphipods using a not yet published key by Wiktor Micherdzinski. It was his PhD thesis and prof. Raabe was reviewing it. I followed the suggestion and tried to use this key. By the way, this paper was published in 1959. It was first time I could see that these superficially similar animals like Gammarus zaddachi, G. salinus, G. duebeni or G. locusta may be discriminated with some invisible for the first sight features as different species. I think that this moment, my student practice, was my first amphipod experience. What are your favourite amphipod species names? Ohhh, there are so many names, it is difficult to say... The name Caprella sounds for me 8 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 very nice and interesting when you look on this animal. But there are so many interesting or strange names and it is difficult to me to find one very special. I remember well many names of Antarctic amphipods because I was working a lot with the Antarctic amphipod fauna, but I cannot find the one special. It is too difficult.... There are also so many funny names.. What amphipod appendage(s) do you like illustrating the best? I like to draw appendages that carry morphological information for different species and are so obvious. Of course it depends on the genus or family which appendage it is, but for instance the structure of antennae or 3 rd uropod or the base of 7 th pereiopod is often used. But of course, there are more. That could be also gnathopods. I like to illustrate morphological parts that are informative from the taxonomic point of view. Just recently I was working upon the structure of the second antennae. This way I said I like this appendage to draw (). I think the structure of 3 rd uropod is very important for so many amphipods. What amphipod appendage(s) do you like illustrating the least? Wow... some mouthparts, maybe maxillipeds.. In fact now it is much easier to prepare drawings as you may use all these special arrangements / equipment to make drawing. I do not see a big difference in making drawing of the mouthparts I like or not really like, so for me is hard to say which ones I do not like to illustrate... Where is your favourite place to collect amphipods? I have collected amphipods in many places in the world. I would say that the nicest place for sampling amphipods is Mediterranean Sea. AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 However, I have never published my results of these samplings. Just for collecting it’s a good place because of water temperature, of course I mean the summer temperatures, also because of the transparency of water. Of course, such a collecting during snorkelling is very fine to me. I can say that this is my favourite place to collect amphipods. Another great and very exciting experience was sampling amphipods in Antarctic waters, where I have collected benthic samples when diving with my dear colleague Jurek Zychlinski, not deeper than 15-20 m, with a special bottom sampler. Of course amphipods were mainly crawling in the bottom but I also saw many of them on the surface and swimming around us... That was really exciting. Places you wished you never tried to collect amphipods? That is also very difficult question. Because, really, I have had the possibility to collect amphipods in many different ecosystems: tropical waters, fresh, brackish and saline waters. In Poland, in polar regions, both Antarctic and arctic Spitsbergen waters, also in the seashore of Australia, but not in its coral reefs. From the coral reefs I collected amphipods in Mexico. Well, I had really many possibilities and I do not know where I should go farther to collect more and to be honest, I do not know any place where I would not like to collect amphipods. . . Of course, the best is to collect amphipods in clear water. Describe/name the most memorable amphipod moment(s)? Amphipod moment... how to understand “amphipod moment” ?... This could be a nice meeting with amphipodologists, discussions about these fantastic animals, or amphipod moment as just collecting amphipods, for instance. Surely, the most exciting moment as sampling of amphipods was definitely this Antarctic diving. But I think that I could also name such a moment during the I-st Polish Marine Antarctic Expedition in 1976. It was on board of the r/v “Professor Siedlecki” and we were trawling fauna from the depth of 600 m. Among many animals that were collected, the biggest sensation for me were giant amphipods as Eusirus perdentatus , lysianasoids Eurythenes gryllus , or Cyphocaris sp. And it was so exciting for me because I have not seen such big amphipods before. And also the colours of these animals, as of Eurythenes gryllus, were something special for me. As I remember well this big, about 8 cm long amphipod was beautifully painted in red colours. This first contact with 10 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 these giant amphipods was truly something fantastic. Describe/name your most memorable amphipod meeting/s)? For me, absolutely, the most memorable meeting was this last one, 15 th ICA, organised by my pupils. I was so happy that they did so excellent work and there were many, many participants, as I remember from 30 countries and I had such an emotion that my pupils were so good in this organisation and so good in presentation of their results upon Amphipoda. This feeling that I experienced is something very important for a teacher. I remember my father, who was also a teacher, telling me that the best teacher is the teacher that creates pupils better than he himself... and that is true. This is why I was so satisfied. I should add that except of the first Niphargus colloquim I participated in all subsequent 14 Amphipod colloquia and I have organized 2 of them; I have to say that the meeting of friends can be just named: “Amphipod Colloquium”. We know the work with other scientists can shape your life. We are sure many will like to hear about such your experiences if you’d like to share... It is worth to say warm words about my main colleagues and teachers in amphipod biology and ecology. My first meeting with amphipodologists was in Lyon in 1973 organised by Albert Louis Roux from the University of Claude Bernard. That time our University had very strong connections with this French institution. So, me myself and my colleagues visited that University afterwards several times and our collaboration with Department of Louis Roux was very fruitful. I have one paper published together with Louis. He was my very good first amphipod friend. 11 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 During the same meeting in Lyon I have met Dutch famous amphipodologists: Jan Hendrick Stock and Sjouk Pinkster. We had several meetings in Amsterdam where I had a possibility to study some samples of amphipods in the Museum of University of Amsterdam and Sjouk Pinkster came also to Poland. And we were real friends! Afterwards also our pupils have still good connections. Other very good amphipodological contacts I’ve had with Meertinus Meijering from Limnological Station in Schlitz (Max-Planck-Inst.). Our department well collaborated with this Station. My friendship with Meertinus is permanent. When I started to work with Antarctic amphipods in late 70-ties I get acquainted with Claude De Broyer from Brussels. In fact, he also participated in the meeting in Lyon in 73, but our closest collaboration started few years later. Since that time I can frankly say that he is my best amphipod friend. We met many times, or in Brussel or in Lodz, spending also a lot of time together with our families. What is more, we were together in two polar expeditions: one to the Antarctic and one to the Spitsbergen region. And, of course, such expeditions unite people especially strongly. Simply, Claude is my best friend but also my very common co-author; we have published together many papers. He was a very nvi important person in my amphipod way. I would like also to mention my warm friendship with Traudl Krapp- Schickel and Wim Vader. We had good contacts many times. They hosted me in Germany and in Norway so nicely. I will always remember our fantastic trip all around the Crete. Wim was a perfect driver. And the great end of this stay in Crete: the Amphipod Colloquium organised by Wanda Plaiti. Any other general thoughts/comments? For me the most amazing phenomenon is biological diversity. In each group of organisms: plants, animals.... This is a kind of special beauty. I concentrated on amphipods but you can observe the same in many other crustacean group and many other group of organisms. And of course, this friendship with 12 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 other people studying the same scientific problem is from my point of view very important - you may learn so much from them. I believe that people are happy when they are doing things they love. And I love to work with amphipods and that is the reason why, even retired, I am nearly every day in my Department still studying amphipods. Especially I am doing that so willingly, as the atmosphere in our Department was always very friendly and special. All masters are in close contact with their pupils and always have doors open for them. Now the speed of everything: life, science is too big for me and I have the feeling that it is not necessary to be so quick in so many matters. . . . ERRATUM: Rosagammarus minichiellus is not a giant fossil amphipod - it is actually a Decapod tail! In AN 38 we presented a paper published by McMenamin, et al. (2013) in which the authors reported the discovery of Rosagammarus minichiellus , a giant (17 cm) fossil amphipod from Triassic limestone in Nevada, USA. Well it turns out, at the May 2015 Geological Society of America annual meetings, Starr et. (2015) presented a paper that retracts the identity of Rosagammarus as an amphipod. The fossil is actually the right half of a decapod tail. Starr, J.; Hegna, T. & M.A.S. McMenamin. 2015. Epilogue to the tale of the Triassic amphipod: Rosagammarus is a decapod tail (Luning Formation, Nevada).

Comment parler d’une personnalite comme Michel ? Enthousiaste, infatigable, ingenieux, chaleureux, imprevisible, d’une intelligence hors du commun ! Nous avons fait nos etudes d’Oceanographie ensemble, sous la direction du Professeur Jean Marie Peres, promotion 1959-1960. J’etais marseillaise, lui venait de Rennes, la Proven£ale et le Breton, ont rapidement fait equipe. Nous avons par la suite travaille cote a cote jusqu’a cette Faune des Amphipodes de Mediterranee qui sous la chaleureuse et paternelle organisation de Sandro Ruffo reunit tous les Amphipodologues prets a tenter cette improbable aventure remplie d’embuches qui dura une vingtaine d’annees et qui fut un de ses derniers chantiers important. Michel etait toujours pret a tous les defis : aller traquer les Crustaces de la faune vagile dans tous les milieux, depuis la surface jusqu’au bathyal, de la Mediterranee a l’Atlantique, de Kerguelen au Canada, du Mexique a Madagascar, le jour et la nuit, avec toutes les methodes: fauchoir, chalut , a pied, en scaphandre autonome ou avec un navire hauturier ! 1: Michel se preparant a plonger a la Station Marine d’Endoume, i960 Michel preparing for a dive at the Station Marine d’Endoume (Marseilles), i960 (Photo N. Vicente) Au laboratoire, Michel etait un travailleur infatigable, avec des litres de cafe, dans un brouillard de fumee de cigarettes, les prelevements, collections de Cumaces, de Mysidaces, de Decapodes et surtout d’Amphipodes livraient leurs secrets. Jean Marie Peres et Jacques Picard, dans leur projet de decrire le benthos mondial et d’en demontrer P unite ecologique nous avaient distribue comme sujets de these, soit les groupes zoologiques, soit les niches ecologiques : a moi etaient revenus les peuplements de substrats durs, a Henri Masse les peuplements de sable, a Gerard Bellan les Polychetes, a Jean Vacelet les Eponges, ... a Michel la faune vagile. Entre les prelevements, les descriptions, les publications, les cours, car Michel avait choisi tres tot la voie de l’enseignement, ce qui lui a permis de transmettre son enthousiasme pour ce qu’il appelait « les petites betes » a plusieurs generations de naturalistes, il n’arretait jamais. En fait Michel etait profondement un naturaliste, la Nature sous toutes ses formes l’interessait et lorsqu’il ne travaillait pas il allait parcourir la campagne pour recolter des escargots ou montrer les insectes a ses enfants. Lorsqu’il prit sa retraite, assez desenchante 14 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 par un monde universitaire devenu de plus en plus dur et sterilisant, il decida de tout laisser et d’aller soigner ses roses, chez lui, a Pleubian en Bretagne, heureux, ay ant probablement trouve la paix qu’il avait cherche toute sa vie. Depuis, il manque a ses amis. Veru^es V> eXlcvn/S cw\£0m/ la retraite. Michel at his retirement. (Photo J.G.

Harmelin) Michel Ledoyer left us on 27 March 2015 How to describe a personality as Michel? Enthousiastic, tireless, ingenious, warm, unpredictable, and of uncommon intelligence. We did our studies in oceanography together, under the direction of Prof. Jean Marie Peres, crowned with a PhD in 1959-1960. I was from Marseille, he from Rennes, A Provencal and a Breton, and we quickly became a team. Later we worked side by side on the Fauna of Mediterranean Amphipoda, and under the warm and paternal leadership of Sandro Ruffo succeeded in finishing this improbable adventure full of pitfalls; this project lasted some twenty years and became one of Michel's last important pieces of work. Michel was always ready for all setbacks: let's go and track the motile epifauna in all habitats , from the surface to the bathyal, from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, from Mexico to Madagascar, day or night, with all different methods: hand-netting, trawling, on foot, free-diving or with a sea-going vessel. 15 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 In the lab, Michel was a tireless worker; with liters of coffee, in a fog of cigarette smoke, all the samples of Cumacea, Mysidacea, Decapoda and above all Amphipoda gave up their secrets. Jean Marie Peres and Jacques Picard, as part of their project of describing the global benthos and showing its ecological unity, had given each of us as subject for our theses either a taxonomic group or ecological niches: to me fell the populations of hard substrates, to Henri Masse those of sands, to Gerard Bellan the polychaetes, to Jean Vacelet the sponges, , and to Michel the motil epifauna. In between the collecting, descriptions, the courses,-- as Michel very early had chosen the road of teaching, which permitted him to transmit his enthusiasm for what he called 'the beasties' to several generations of naturalists—, he never stopped and rested. In fact, Michel was in reality a true naturalist. Nature in all its forms fascinated him, and when he did not work he was out in the field to collect snails for consumption, or to show insects to his children. When he retired, quite disenchanted with the university world which had become more and more hard and sterile, he decided to leave it all completely and to go and grow roses, at home, in Pleubian in Betagne, a happy man, probably finally having found the peace that he has sought his entire life. Since then, he quite lost contacts with his friends. Veyvu^ey3eUuyn/'Sa^ (English translation by Wim Vader) 3: Michel avec le commandant de VAntedon, bateau de la SME.

It is hosted by the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS www.marinespecies.org). In order to make this work, thirty amphipod taxonomists agreed to give their time and expertise to work on improving and updating the information on their specialist area of the database. With nearly 10,000 species to look after, we needed to get more experts involved. The World Amphipoda Database arose from a merger in 2010 of the World Amphipoda List compiled over many years by Jim Lowry (Australian Museum), with the European Register of Marine Species (ERMS) amphipod list, compiled by Mark Costello with the help of Denise Bellan-Santini and Jean-Claude Dauvin, and edited up until 2013 with significant additions from the RAMS Amphipoda (Antarctic) list (compiled by Claude De Broyer) and from other regional editors. The aim of a World Register is to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms, including information on synonymy. While highest priority goes to valid names, other names in use are included so that this register can serve as a guide to interpret taxonomic literature. Each entry can hold a lot of information - the correct name and synonyms, the original description, taxonomic references, plus habitat, distribution and bathymetric data. Information from the World Amphipoda Database is fed into the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS), which, as the most comprehensive primary source of quality-assured information on marine species, is the international standard in its field. Beneficiaries of the information - which is often accessed through other databases that are fed by WoRMS - include scientists, consultants, conservationists, journalists, the general public, and many others. While the data is managed and hosted by WoRMS, the WAD holds data on ALL amphipod species, whether Marine, freshwater or terrestrial. There are currently 9,747 species listed. It is, of course, an ever growing database, with updates of new taxa and edits to older entries being made all the time. It also contains many errors and has areas for improvement. Tammy Horton, who coordinates the editorial team and undertakes much of the editing points out that there is a priority for entering information into the database. The first priority is of course to include all valid species names. This alone takes time as every 17 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 new species added (149 taxa added for 2013, 125 taxa added for 2014) needs to have additional data entered. These other pieces of information are critical to the usability of the dataset. We ensure the authority is included and correct and the original description is linked as a reference, but preferably also made available as a PDF. This is particularly important when adding older taxa as some older literature is hard to find. Synonyms can also be added to the database and linked to the valid name. In this way you can always find the valid name even if your list is old and changes have taken place (as often happens in taxonomy). A literature reference that recorded the change in taxonomic status should always be linked to the taxon page when making such changes so that the user can check this. All information in the World Amphipoda Database is a reflection of what is already published. Two projects are currently underway to make improvements to the WAD and also to publish checklists using the database. These include a checklist of freshwater taxa (to include distributional data) and a checklist of deep-sea taxa (to add depth range data). The World Amphipoda Database is also a place where we host our beloved Amphipod Newsletter (see the main page - menu item on the right hand side). Current efforts are underway to scan all of the older ones but we do have already 2000 to 2014 If you wish to report any errors or would like to contribute to the database please contact the coordinating editor Tammy Horton. Please remember to cite the database when using data from it in your publications as: Horton, T.; Lowry, J. & De Broyer, C. (2013 onwards) World Amphipoda Database. Accessed at http://www.marinespecies.org/ amphipoda on 18 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 Bibliography Once more I want to thank Frank Krapp (Bonn) for his constant and tireless assistance in finding amphipod litterature, as well as those authors who send us editors copies of their recent papers. Volume 2 of the amphipod fauna of China, again written by professor Ren, has come out; I have ordered it, but as yet not seen it, and its content will therefore first be treated in the bibliography of AN40. There are many papers, also in this bibliography, where amphipod species, often Gammarus or Hyalella species, but also others, are used as test animals in toxicology studies.I increasingly wonder, whether any of the colleagues using this bibliography ever has great interest in any of these papers. I have a sneaking suspicion that the users of AN have little or no interest in this type if papers, while the people who ARE interested probably never see the Amphipod Newsletter and its bibliography. I should therefore be very grateful for feedback on this topic: Should we continue to include toxicology papers with amphipods as test animals, or should we skip this type of publications?
