8. Symposium on The Biology of the Anomura II

---

Co-organisers: Dr Rafael Lemaitre and Dr Chris Tudge (tudgec@si.edu)

The symposium "Biology of the Anomura II" follows on from the successful event of the same name at the ICC5, Melbourne and has the primary goal of gathering researchers to present papers on any aspect of this interesting and successful decapod group. The symposium will host oral presentations and posters on a diverse range of topics including systematics, biogeography, morphology, phylogeny, life history, reproduction & development, ecology & behaviour, physiology & neurobiology, and fisheries & management.

Publication: The Carcinological Society of Japan (TCSJ) has offered a special volume of the prestigious carcinological journal, Crustacean Research, for the publication of papers from this symposium. The deadline for submission of manuscripts is September 1, 2005. Manuscripts should be sent directly to the editor for this volume: Dr Akira Asakura ((asakura@chiba-muse.or.jp), Natural History Museum and Institute, Chiba, 955-2, Aoba-cho, Chuo-ku, Chiba-shi 260-8682, Japan.

The printed length of the volume has been set by TCSJ at 200 pages. This means that potentially about 20 manuscripts can be submitted, at no more than 10 printed pages in length, including figures and tables. Unfortunately we are forced to request page charges at $20/page. This cost, however, is minimal when compared to other journals and is possible thanks to a subsidy by TCSJ. Cost of colour plates must be paid by authors at $300/page. A free PDF file will be supplied to each author and reprints can be ordered as for regular volumes (e.g. 50 reprints of a 10-page paper would cost $300).

We realize that some colleagues may not be able to attend the Glasgow meeting, but still would like to contribute a manuscript. For this reason, as we did during the previous symposium in Melbourne, consideration for publication of a paper in the Crustacean Research volume does not require attendance to the ICC6 meeting in Glasgow. The only limitation is whether papers can be accommodated in the volume as preference will be given to those who attend ICC6. Please consult with the organizers or the editor. Instructions to authors for Crustacean Research can be obtained from the symposium organizers or directly from Dr Akira Asakura (asakura@chiba-muse.or.jp)
