selected Polychaeta, and Hirudinea

Prepared by Mark J. Wetzel, Illinois Natural History Survey, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1816 S. Oak Street, 1021 Forbes Natural History Building, MC-652, Champaign, Illinois 61820. Telephone: (217) 244-2108 (with voicemail); FAX: (217) 244-0729; *E-mail: mjwetzel{AT}illinois.edu

The section on Hirudinea was compiled by Dr. Donald J. Klemm, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Ecological Exposure Research Division, Ecosystems Research Branch, 26 W. Martin Luther King Dr. - MS 642, Cincinnati, OH 45268 USA; Phone: (513) 569-7090; FAX: (513) 569-7609; *E-mail address: klemm.donald{AT}epa.gov

Researchers should send reprints of their papers to both Mark and Don to ensure that they are included accurately in future bibliographies. The reprints are greatly appreciated.

This bibliography will be published in August 2000 by the North American Benthological Society in "Current and Selected Bibliographies on Benthic Biology - 1999."

Please note: Those participants of the 8th International Symposium on Aquatic Oligochaeta, convened in Bilbao, Spain, in July, 2000, received a paper pre-print of this electronic bibliography. A few papers (Bely 1999, Brinkhurst 1999b, Gelder 1999, and Timm 1999a) were inadvertently omitted from that pre-print.

Citations for aquatic Annelida will be split into the following groupings for the convenience of researchers: Misc. Annelida (Echiura, Pogonophora, Sipunculida, and Vestimentifera), Acanthobdellida, Aphanoneura, Branchiobdellida, Oligochaeta, and selected Polychaeta. Several papers focusing on terrestrial annelids also have been included. Papers discussing taxa from more than one of the above groups will be included in each of those groups below. Researchers should send reprints of their papers to me to ensure that they are included accurately in future bibliographies. Please report inaccuracies to me (E-mail address: mjwetzel[AT]uiuc.edu). Suggestions are welcomed. The present format reflects comments received from colleagues.

Most citations are followed by one or more numbers and letters in brackets [ ]. Numbers designate the taxonomic level of annelid identification: 1 = phylum, class, ordinal, or familial level of identification; 2 = generic or specific level of identification; 3 = new description, revision, redescription, or systematic work.

Letters indicate the following: A = Aphanoneura; Ac = Acanthobdellida; B = Branchiobdellida; bib = bibliography; C = cytology; D = description; E = ecology; F = faunistic, or distributional information; G = general; H = Hirudinea; K = key provided; M = methods, such as analysis, collection, or processing information; O = Oligochaeta; P = Polychaeta; Ph = physiology; R = revision; TMS = taxonomy, morphology, and / or systematics; X = toxicology; xO = interesting paper, but oligochaetes not discussed.

A number followed by a hyphen (-) and a letter indicates the level of identification for that letter group, e.g., [2-O] = species level of identification for Oligochaeta; [3-B] = new species, revision, or redescription of Branchiobdellida. Citations followed by an asterisk (*) were downloaded from one or more bibliographic databases but have not been verified for accuracy. Unless otherwise noted, all papers are written in English; many include one or more foreign language abstracts or summaries.

Other bibliographies for Annelida published annually by the North American Benthological Society in "Current and Selected Bibliographies on Benthic Biology" and available via the World Wide Web can be obtained at the following addresses:

Additional information relating to the study of aquatic Annelida can be obtained via The INHS Center for Annelida Resources. There, you will also find current information on upcoming as well as recently convened conferences, meetings, and symposia focusing on Annelida and other aquatic resources.

ANNELIDA - HIRUDINEA

PLEASE NOTE: The following section on Hirudinea was compiled by Dr. Donald J. Klemm, Research Aquatic Biologist, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, NERL, EERD, Ecosystems Research Branch (MS-642), 26 W.

Areas of leech studies are both aquatic and terrestrial, and covered in the bibliography are bioassessment, ecology, embryology, environmental and industrial toxicology, medicine, morphology, parasitology, physiology, systematics, and taxonomy. The leech bibliography is intended to help keep students and biologists current with the leech literature. It is also provided to assist the user in selecting information from the literature to help in evaluating data collected during studies of water quality, and of the effects of toxic substances and other pollutants on the ecological integrity and health of indigenous communities of macroinvertebrates, including the leeches. Researchers should send reprints of their papers to Don and to Mark to ensure that they are included accurately in future bibliographies. The reprints are greatly appreciated.
