PLANARIAN RESOURCES ON THE WEB

Information on planarians on web has increased steadily since the late 1980's. However, in the series of ‘A List of Publications on Japanese Turbellarians’ (published annually after 1968: 1968-1998 by Kawakatsu; 1999-2000 by Kawakatsu & Takai), URLs of these websites have not been listed as a general rule.

At present, the number of URLs in various research fields on planarians has been incleasing yearly. Beginning with 2001, Sasaki (a new coauthor of this bibliographic series) has been successful in collecting some 170 URLs in the world (82 in Japan and 87 in other countries -- including several English Versions of articles in the Gen-yu's Files).

Web information, abstracts and articles written in Japanese cannot be opened without the use of software for the Japanese language. Moreover, the contents of Japanese websites on planarians are non-academic in most cases except for a few special articles and abstracts of zoological papers.

We have used the following system in filing planarian websites:

1). Planarian Resources on the Web: Japanese Version. By Gen-yu Sasaki.
Opened separately as follows:
http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~gen-yu/plaweb.html

This Japanese Version opens with Japanese language software for Japanese-speaking persons. All of the websites (both in Japanese and in foreign languages) are classified into 10 sections. A short Japanese explanation is given for each website.

2). Planarian Resources on the Web: Apendix. (In Japanese.) By Gen-yu Sasaki.
Opened separately as follows:
http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~gen-yu/plaweb2.html

This Japanese Version also opens with Japanese language software for Japanese-speaking persons. It includes a list of Japanese tales and/or novels mentioning planarians in their titles, texts, figures, etc.

3). Planarian Resources on the Web: English Version. By M. Kawakatsu, M. Takai & Gen-yu Sasaki.
Opened separately as follows:
http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~gen-yu/plaweb_e.html

This English Version is based essentially upon the Japanese Version mentioned above. However, the citation style and arrangement of URLs are quite different from those of the Japanese Version.

i) Some 87 URLs of websites written in Western languages (English, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Danish, Swedish) are classified into 7 sections and listed. The correct scientific name(s) of triclad planarian species employed in each article is also shown in following "Note".

ii) Some 82 URLs of websites written in the Japanese language are classified into 10 sections and listed. For each article or information listed, a short, liberal translation of the English title is given in brackets; authors' names are also given. These lists may have reference value for Western turbellariologists.

We thank Dr. Taisaku Nogi (Dept. Cytokine Biol., The Forsyth Inst., Boston, Mass., U.S.A) for the collection of some of listed websites. We also thank Dr. Robert W. Mitchell (Bandera, Tx., U.S.A.) for reading a draft of this web article.

We hope to receive additional URLs on turbellarians from all over the world. Your kind assistance and information will be much appreciated as usual.

Note. A color photo of the dorsal view of a living specimen is shown: a blackish animal with a brownish yellow head plate having a blackish central mark; with 7 whitish lateral bands. Externally, the animal is similar to Bipalium rauchi von Graff, 1899, from Singapore (taf. IX, fig. 36; see also von Graff, 1917, taf. XXXIV, fig. 3). The genital anatomy of this species is not known.

Note. The name of "Artioposthia triangulata" is found in web articles listed below. Since the new genus Arthurdendius Jones et Gerard, 1999, was established, the correct scientific name of that New Zealand worm is Arthurdendius triangulatus (Dendy, 1895). Jones, H. D. & Gerard, B.
