The eusirid genus Rhachotropis S.I. Smith, 1883 has a worldwide distribution and the largest bathymetric range known from any amphipod genus. A large, charismatic, colourful species was collected below 800 m at two sites 1000 km apart on the southern Kermadec Ridge and on the Chatham Rise in the south-western Pacific off eastern New Zealand. The new species, Rhachotropis oweni is described, inc...

Imagine that you are attending an orchestral concert. You listen with great appreciation to compositions by William Herschel (1738–1822), Hector Berlioz (1803–1869), Aleksandr Borodin (1833–1887), Sir Edward Elgar (1857– 1934) and Ernest Ansermet (1883–1969); and new pieces by Iannis Xenakis (b. 1922) and Richard Bing (b. 1909). At the end of the concert, the conductor, Tom Eisner (b. 1930), mo...

The purpose of this paper is to present two theorems which give an overview of the set of elliptic curves lying on an abelian surface and to discuss several applications. One of these applications is a classical theorem of Biermann (1883) and Humbert (1893) on the characterization of abelian surfaces containing elliptic curves in terms of the “singular relations” of Humbert. As a by–product one...
