Hi, All This will the last posting for the year, so I will take this moment to wish everyone a happy holiday and new year and we will pick up again next month. The institutional libraries near me will be closed for the holidays 12/19-1/3, so anyone with special requests should get them in before or after those dates. Here's the latest posting of new PDF's that are available. File sizes have been included. Abstracts also available on request. Those of you having problems downloading the PDFs for the Marine Ecology Progress Series special issue listing in Brandon Southall Marmam posting can also request them from me. Make all requests to: janiger@cox.net Cheers!
