Museum Victoria, formerly known as the Museum of Victoria, was
formed in 1983 by the merger of the National Museum of Victoria
(established in 1854) and the Science Museum of Victoria (established
in 1870). Museum Victoria undertakes research in order to contribute
to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the origins, diversity
and development of Australia’s natural, cultural and scientific heritage,
and applies this knowledge for the benefit of society.
Memoirs of Museum Victoria (formerly known as Memoirs of the
National Museum of Victoria until 1983) is the museum’s scientific
journal and advances the museum’s objectives by publishing papers
on original research in the natural sciences pertinent to Victoria and/or
the museum’s collection. It is published throughout the year.
From Volume 58 (2000) Memoirs of Museum Victoria is available in
a .pdf file format, in addition to the print edition, on the museum’s website
http://museumvictoria.com.au/about/books-and-journals/
journals/memoirs-of-museum-victoria/. From Volume 70 (2013)
only the pdf format will be available. All volumes published before
2000 (vols. 1–57) are available at the Biodiversity Heritage Library
(www.biodiversitylibrary.org). Individual papers may be downloaded
free of charge from both sites.
Editorial Committee
Memoirs of Museum Victoria is published by order of the Museums
Board of Victoria and acceptance of papers is managed by an editorial
committee. Papers are assessed by independent referees prior to
publication.

Electronic publishing
From 1 January 2013, papers will be published online only, after the
usual assessment by referees. Once accepted all papers will be
published on the Museum Victoria website (under Memoirs of
Museum Victoria). Publication dates will be given for each paper.
ZooBank registration
All new species must be registered with with ZooBank
(http://zoobank.org/). A guide to this process can be obtained from
the editor (rmarch@museum.vic.gov.au).
The following information should be included on the first page of
the paper:
• The author’s ZooBank registration, signified by the letters ‘author’ in
the code. (This can be included after the author’s name and should
include http://zoobank.org/ at the beginning of the code);
• The paper’s ZooBank registration, signified by the letters ‘pub’ in the
code. (This can be included after the address information and
should include http://zoobank.org/ at the beginning of the code).
At the beginning of the description of each new species, e.g. under the
species’ name, the species’ ZooBank registration, signified by the
letters ‘act’ in the code, should be given and should include http://
zoobank.org/ at the beginning of the code. Once the paper has been
published, the author must update the ZooBank registration for each
species from ‘in press’ to ‘published’.
These procedures ensure that the Memoirs of Museum Victoria is
compliant with the new rules from the International Commission for
Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) for electronic publishing of new
scientific names.
Submission of papers and illustrations
Papers must be submitted to the editor in final manuscript form as a
word document file only and double line spaced. Any accompanying
images or drawings must be submitted separately and NOT embedded
within the text.
All illustrations (photographs, line drawings) must be submitted as
600 dpi scans at A4 size and as print-ready files. In the case of
numerous and large files, illustrations should be supplied on a CD
and not electronically. Although not preferable, original artwork
(photographs, line drawings) can be accepted for scanning by the
museum. Although the museum takes no responsibility for any damage
to original artwork, the utmost care will be taken while it is in the
museum's possession.
Papers may be sent by either email to rmarch@museum.vic.gov.au
or by post to the editor, Richard Marchant, Memoirs of Museum Victoria,
GPO Box 666, Melbourne, Victoria 3001, Australia.
Instructions for authors
An outline of the required format and style guide is supplied here;
however, authors should also refer to the previous edition of Memoirs
of Museum Victoria for a more in-depth guide.
Papers should be arranged as follows:
title (including higher classification of zoological taxa)
authors’ name and address (postal and email)
abstract
key words
contents (only if the paper is extensive)
introduction
main text
acknowledgements
references
index (only if extensive)
tables within the text
figures

when they should be spelt out, but only up to and including the
number ten. Numerals should also be spelt out when used as
follows: first, second, third, fourth, tenth, twentieth and so on.
• The word Figure should be spelt out when used below a genus name
in the body of the text and in the Figure caption. However, when
figures are referred to within the text do not spell out and instead use
fig. or figs.

Preface
The first International Polychaete Conference (IPC) was held at the
Australian Museum, Sydney, in July 1983. There were 85 registered
participants from 15 countries. Thirty years and ten conferences later
the IPC returned to the Australian Museum for its 11th gathering. The
numbers of participants had swelled to 154, including 30 who had
been at the original meeting, and 26 countries were now represented.
Here we provide a brief review of how it all started and how it has
evolved into a now well-established event being held every
3 years, and what have been the changes over that time.
In the early 1980s, annual international meetings were held at the
Australian Museum on fish, crustaceans and later on molluscs and
echinoderms. One of us (Pat) had the idea that the time was right to
host one on polychaetes, there having been no such previous
meetings, apart from the ones celebrating the life of Drs Olga Hartman
and Marian Pettibone held in the United States of America and
resulting in published volumes in 1977 and 1987, respectively. In 1982
Pat met with Drs Kristian Fauchald and Meridith Jones in the United
States National Museum, Washington D.C. and David George at the
British Museum of Natural History, London and obtained their support
for the first open international polychaete conference in Sydney. Armed
with their encouragement Pat and Sebastian Rainer organised that
inaugural meeting and a 10 day post-conference field trip to Lizard
Island, a facility of the Australian Museum. This was all done before the
advent of email and internet; invitations were sent by mail and word of
mouth. The five day conference format involved two days of oral
presentations, followed by a mid-conference excursion and the final
two days of presentations; a field trip to the intertidal shores of Sydney
completed the program. Evening sessions included discussions and
centred on the formation of a Polychaete Association led by Dr Jørgen
Kirkegaard. The final day of presentations culminated in a conference
dinner followed by a visit to a jazz club. The relaxed environment
throughout the conference and social functions gave people plenty of
time to talk to each other, develop friendships and collaborative
programs. Also importantly the participants decided that a second
meeting should be held in 3 years time (1986) with the organising
committee chaired by Dr Kirkegaard and this was voted on by all
delegates, a practise that continues to this day, with potential
organisers presenting their case of why they should host the next
meeting on the last day of the conference.
In the days preceding the IPCs, workshops have often been held
on systematics. Sydney (2013) was no exception but we also hosted
workshops on Identification of invasive polychaetes and a Special
Workshop on microscope photography and preparation of material
for SEM. These workshops have often encouraged students to
participate in the following conference, and a characteristic of all the
meetings has been the attendance of both students, early career
researchers, established and senior researchers which bodes well for
polychaete studies.
The International Polychaete Conferences have usually been
associated with post-conference excursions—again these provided
more opportunities to develop friendships and collaborations. In
Sydney, this took the form of a two week taxonomic workshop to Lizard
Island, supported by the Lizard Island Reef Research Foundation and
with results to be published in a Zootaxa Monograph in 2015.
The format adopted by the first IPC has been followed by the
convenors of subsequent meetings. The major differences between
the first and subsequent IPCs has been the increasing popularity of
poster sessions, the greater participation of students, and the increase
in the number of participants and especially in the number of countries
involved. Posters are now encouraged for taxonomic papers and
many non-English speakers find preparing a poster far easier than an
oral presentation. The Proceedings of all conferences have been
published in peer-reviewed journals; the present Proceedings includes
25 of the presentations at the 11th IPC in August 2013, plus 6 obituaries
and one web-site review.
That initial meeting in 1983, concentrated on taxonomy,
reproduction and ecological studies, only one paper (by Harry ten
Hove on Serpulidae) even talked about phylogeny and of course
molecular techniques were not even discussed. Subsequent meetings
saw an increasing number of presentations on the origin of
polychaetes and their relationships to other invertebrates. Groups
previously regarded as distinct phyla gradually became incorporated
with the polychaetes, including the pogonophores, clitellates,
sipunculans and echiuroids, with myzostomes coming and going.
Although Annelida is now the accepted monophyletic higher taxon
that encompasses polychaetes and their relatives, ‘Polychaetes’
remains the persistent and popular name for our conference.
Molecular studies became increasingly prevalent especially over the
last 12-15 years, and gradually the relationships within the polychaetes
are becoming more clear. New techniques such as microCT scanning
(see Patterson et al. in this volume) are helping to elucidate characters
of phylogenetic significance but what has not changed is the wish to
explore their beauty, diversity and their role in marine ecosystems.
Robin, Chris and I are looking forward to attending the next
polychaete meeting in Cardiff, Wales in 2016, just as delegates and
enjoying the presentations!
