Watling (ed.), VIIth International Colloquium on Amphipoda. vii Preface This volume contains papers given in association with the VIIth International Colloquium on Amphipoda held at the University of Maine's Darling Center in Walpole, South Bristol, Maine, U.S.A., on 14-16 September 1990. Four additional papers by persons unable to come to Maine are also included. The amphipod colloquia began in Verona in 1979, originally as a meeting of specialists interested in the systematics of Gammarus and Niphargus. After a second colloquium, held in Lyon in 1973, the third was convened in conjunction with the 1st International Symposium on Groundwater Ecology in Schlitz, Germany, in 1975. These two groups met together in Blacksburg (1978) and Lodz, Poland (1980 and 1981). The Vlth Colloquium for the amphipod side was held in Ambleteuse, France. More complete histories of the early meetings are given in Crustaceana, Supplement 4, pp. 1-2, and Supplement 6, pp. 1-3, and Polskie Archiwum Hydrobiologii, volume 29, no. 2, p. 1. Since Ambleteuse, the meeting has been more generally concerned with amphipods of all kinds. Most of the contributions given at the colloquia have been published in the following volumes: I. Verona, 1969. Memorie del Museo civico di Storia naturale di Verona, vol. 5 (1972). II. Lyon, 1973. Crustacean a, vols. 27(3), 28(1), 28(2), 29(1) (1974-75). III. Schlitz, 1975.

There were 42 attendees, from the following countries: Australia, 5; Brazil, 1; Canada, 10; Chile,1; Germany, 3; Japan, 2; The Netherlands, 4; Poland, 2; U.S.A., 13; and U.S.S.R., 1. All functions were held on the grounds of the Darling Marine Center, including meals, which were taken under a large canopy-the weather still being quite pleasant. The conference ended with a trip to Camden, one of Maine's most picturesque harbor villages, on Friday evening. On Saturday there was an excursion by boat to Monhegan Island, located 15 km offshore, followed by an old-fashioned Maine lobster bake later that evening. The fine food, and good conversation conducted in a variety of accents, is still very fondly remembered by the local hosts, the Damariscotta Region Chamber of Commerce. I would like to give special thanks to Madolyn Musick, Irene Leeman, and the rest of the staff and students of the Darling Marine Center who worked very hard to make the meeting a success. Also, the warm welcome extended by the Damariscotta Region Chamber of Commerce and the owners of the Pemaquid Hotel to our overseas guests was greatly appreciated. The University of Maine's Center for Marine Studies helped financially, ultimately making the attendance of some participants possible. For this, I would like to thank Dr. Robert Wall, the Center's Director, who appreciates the value of scientific dialogue. L. WATLING University of Maine Hydrobiologia 223: viii, 1991. Vlll L. Watling (ed.), VIIth International Colloquium on Amphipoda. This special volume on the biology of Amphipoda is dedicated to J. Laurens Barnard 1928-1991 who died suddenly on 16 August 1991, while working in Florida. Jerry was unquestionably the most important contributor to our knowledge of the Amphipoda since the early years of Sars and Stebbing, and his death leaves an enormous void. He described many hundreds of species and was responsible for several syntheses, the most important of which were the two volumes published privately on the freshwater Amphipoda of the world and the just published world monograph, an update of his 1969 treatment of the families and genera of marine gammaridean amphipods. To many of us, though, Jerry was more than a source of descriptions and details. Jerry's work, and personality, influenced the lives and careers of many people. His devotion to amphipods and birds, his appreciation of the natural world, and his sense of humor and generosity were an inspiration to those who knew him. He always encouraged us to continue our taxonomic studies, recognizing that for many of us it would mean only part-time devotion to this field. He was also a sympathetic sounding board, always willing to tryout new ideas and approaches. We are, sadly, in a period where taxonomic studies do not seem to have the value they once had, where new taxonomists are not being trained, or, if trained, are unemployable. Jerry lamented this decline in systematics, but continued to advance amphipod taxonomy until the day he died. We can only hope to have the opportunity to carryon his work, and to follow his example in stimulating a new generation of scientists to take up the science of taxonomy.

Comparative fore-gut morphology of Antarctic Amphipoda (Crustacea) adapted to different food sources Charles Oliver Coleman Universitiit Oldenburg, Fachbereich 7, Arbeitsgruppe Zoomorphologie, Postfach 2503, D-2900 Oldenburg, Germany Key words,' Antarctic, Crustacea, Amphipoda, fore-gut morphology, food preference Abstract The fore-gut morphology of ten species of Antarctic amphipods utilizing different food sources was investigated. There are considerable differences in shape, relative lengths of the stomachs and their structures. Relative lengths of the stomachs range from more than 30% to 2% compared to the total body lengths. The relative length of the anterior rough filter corresponds in general with the relative stomach length. Stomachs with long rough filter share in general a small fme filter area. Interspecific differences of stomach lateralia might be used for phylogenetic analysis, but are apparently not related to different food sources. Different speculative selective pressures that might have had influence on the evolution offore-guts are discussed. Introduction fore-gut and midgut contents of Antarctic amphi pods is that in most cases a small number of Most Antarctic amphipods are considered to be specimens is available for dissection and thus sta mainly omnivorous or necrophagus (Arnaud, tistics cannot be used for supporting the results. 1970, 1977).
