Hi Mark,

Congratulations to you and colleagues on this lovely piece of work!  I was very interested to see the resurrection of Studer's Molpadia violacea!  I can't tell you for how long I agonized over the status of the various southern oceans Molpadia "species", finally throwing a bunch of them into synonymy w/musculus... a form of surrender, I guess.  But, it's grand today, isn't it, to have another set of diagnostic tools at the molecular level, to help enormously with decision-making about the status of various taxa.

Doris and I trust you're keeping well these days?  We seem to be spending more time in doctors' offices than in our laboratory these days, but we're still enjoying doing echinoderm-related things!

Best from us, Doris and Dave.

Greetings all

I have just published a paper on the sea cucumbers of the Kerguelen Plateau, in collaboration with Jessica, Melanie and Didier.

The pdf is about 11 MB and may not transmit. To avoid a mixed result of successful and unsuccessful transmissions I will not attach the pdf.

But you can find and download the pdf readily at:

<Memoirs of Museum Victoria Journals>

and

<ResearchGate Peter Mark O'Loughlin>

With best wishes to all

Mark
