A New Species

Lobochona insularum sp.nov., a collar ciliate (Chonotrichida), an ectocommensal on the pleopodal bristles of a gribble from Hawaii, is described. L. insularum differs from the previously described chonotrichidan ectocommensals of the gribbles, L. limnoriae on Limnoria lignorum and Lobochona prorates on Limnoria tripunctata, in the outlines of the body and of the marginal lappets of the collar.This work was supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Various facilities were made available by the Allan Hancock Foundation of the University of Southern California.Acknowledgement is given to Dr Bayard H. McConnaughey, who discovered the organism and prepared the slides.

Abstract The US National Science Foundation defines convergence as the deep integration of knowledge, techniques, and expertise from multiple fields to form new and expanded frameworks for addressing scientific and societal challenges and opportunities. Because convergence research is progressing at a rapid clip, the quick evolution of non-traditional perspectives that it engenders will present a number of challenges/opportunities to education. NSF, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development; the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine; and the University of Southern California sponsored a workshop, with global participation, to explore actions that would facilitate convergence in education. A descriptive of the workshop and the key action items it identified are presented.

A New Species

A new species of Poecilochaetus (Polychaeta: Poecilochaetidae) is described from coastal waters off Southern California. Much of the material was collected as part of the benthic infaunal survey work carried out by the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County as part of their ocean monitoring program. Numerous specimens of this new species have also been collected throughout the Southern California Bight during U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional surveys in 1994, 1998, and 2003. The distinct characters of this new species were first noted three decades ago, but a formal description was never published. These specimens have been reported frequently in survey data under the provisional name Poecilochaetus sp. A. The number of branchial filaments, the location of these filaments along the body, and the absence of a middorsal chitinous plate on setiger 9 make Poecilochaetus martini sp. nov. unique. This new species also has elongated interramal papillae on the branchiate setigers, a character only recently noted. P. martini sp. nov. is compared to other branchiate species in the genus that also have interramal structures.

A New Species

In 1957 James R. Beer, Edwin F. Cook and Robert G. Schwab, of the University of Minnesota, conducted an investigation of mammals and their ectoparasites in the Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona. The area studied included varied habitats in the general vicinity of the Southwestern Research Station of the American Museum of Natural History at Portal. An account of this investigation has now been published (Beer et al., 1959).
