Glossobius anctus Bruce & Bowman 1989
No full textGlossobius anctus Bruce & Bowman, 1989 Glossobius anctus Bruce & Bowman, 1989: 13, figs. 9–10.—Bruce, Lew Ton & Poore, 2002: 177. Type and type locality. 18 ° 25 ’S, 118 ° 52 ’E, North West Shelf, Western Australia; deposited at the Australian Museum, Sydney (holotype AM P 35743; paratype AM P 35744) and the National Museum of Natural History, Washington (paratypes USNM 227110, 227112 and 227113) (Bruce & Bowman 1989). Remarks. Glossobius anctus is readily identified by the subparallel body shape; cephalon not immersed in pereonite 1; anterolateral pereonite 1 margin smooth; anteroventral coxae margins broad; fleshy and produced labrum; pleotelson subtruncate and antennule article 1 straight. Glossobius anctus and G. impressus have a near identical morphology of pereopod 1 with merus proximal margin with slight bulbous protrusion; pereopod 7 basis with raised carina; cephalon not immersed in pereonite 1; and all pleopods are laminar. The host distribution of both species of Glossobius overlap. Glossobius parexocoetii is reported only from Parexocoetus brachypterus (Richardson, 1846) where the host is widespread in the Indo- Pacific region and has a separate population in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, whereas the host distribution of G. anctus (Euleptorhampus viridis (van Hasselt, 1823)) includes the tropical and temperate regions of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans (Froese & Pauly 2015). Glossobius anctus differs from G. impressus by lacking the bulbous lobe on the anterolateral margins of pereonites 1 and 2; and the broader anterior margins of all coxae. Glossobius parexocoetii is also similar to G. anctus in the subparallel pereon; pleonite 1–5 of subequal length and width; and pleotelson lateral margin straight; but differs from the latter in having the rostrum more acute; anterolateral margins of pereonites 1–3 acute; the presence of a medial point on the posterior margins of pereonites 4–5 and the less broad anterior margins of the coxae. Distribution. Known from the tropical and subtropical Indian and Pacific Oceans with records from Hawaii, Japan, and eastern and western Australia. (Bruce & Bowman 1989). Hosts. The ribbon halfbeak Euleptorhampus viridis (van Hasselt, 1823).Published as part of Martin, Melissa B., Bruce, Niel L. & Nowak, Barbara F., 2015, Review of the buccal-attaching fish parasite genus Glossobius Schioedte & Meinert, 1883 (Crustacea: Isopoda: Cymothoidae), pp. 337-350 in Zootaxa 3973 (2) on page 344, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3973.2.8, http://zenodo.org/record/23858

IRPT and Bruce
No full textI am the Director of the Institute for Physical Research and Technology, also known as IPRT. IPRT is a network of ten Iowa State centers that excel in the translation of basic research and engineering into useful applications and economic development. I am pleased to be here today to offer some thoughts in honor of Bruce, a dear friend for over 20 years. I first interacted with him when he was the Associate Director of Ames Laboratory. It was a good experience. He often had some good insights. When I was the Chair of the Department of Chemistry, Bruce and I collaborated on joint appointments.
Bruce had many qualities that made him unique. He was, of course, a brilliant researcher. You will hear many talks this morning from his colleagues about his wonderful accomplishments. But he was also a thoughtful and innovative administrator. Believe me, those qualities don't occur in the same person very often. Bruce was also an individual who was caring and kind to his colleagues. He was very inclusive. One of the qualities I liked most about Bruce was the fact that whether you were the lead researcher in a project or a summer undergraduate, or perhaps an administrative assistant, he always tried to make sure that you had a voice. He always tried to make sure that you were involved in the operation of the project, and that's a very important quality. Taken together, all these three qualities: brilliant researcher, excellent administrator, and caring person made him clearly unique among people that I knew.Copyright 2012 American Institute of Physics.

Bruce Reeves Appointed to CSWE Council
No full textBruce Reeves, Assistant Professor and Director of Field Education, was appointed to serve a three year term on the Council of Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity and Expression. The council, in concert with the Commission for Diversity and Social and Economic Justice, advises the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Board of Directors on policy and programmatic matters related to gender expression and sexual orientation. CSWE is the accrediting body of Social Work Programs in the United States.
According to CSWE, The council promotes the development of social work curriculum materials and faculty growth opportunities relevant to sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and the experiences of individuals who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or two-spirit. Bruce is looking forward to attending his first meeting this October at the annual CSWE meeting in Tampa, Florida.
Bruce believes that his experience in field education, along with his background in rural services, made him an exceptional candidate for appointment to the council. Social Workers are good at talking about diversity and inclusivity, especially for the LGBT population, but it\u27s still too easy to not understand the importance of LGBT issues and the resulting social injustices that can arise.
In addition to field placement, Bruce supports organizing curriculum content at both the undergraduate and graduate levels to focus on LGBT inclusion and diversity. He knows firsthand that UND\u27s Social Work programs include education around LBGT issues and are infused into the curriculum. I am proud of our department. Education and discussion on LGBT issues are part of many courses. Both our undergraduate and graduate programs place a great deal of importance on this.
As a profession, we value social justice. LGBT issues are currently at the forefront across the country. Marriage equality and the Employment Non Discrimination Act (ENDA) are just a few examples of the many policies impacting LGBT communities in today\u27s society.
Although there is much work to be done, Bruce believes that raising awareness of LGBT populations and concerns within the health care and human service fields is a critical first step that must occur to improve inclusion and address the unmet needs of this population. Health and service providers need to be aware of the specific issues that face LGBT populations in order to better serve them. This includes physical and mental health as well as environmental factors. The effects of stigma make LGBT youth more vulnerable to mental health problems such as depression, and substance abuse. LBGT youth are 20-40% more likely to contemplate or attempt suicide when compared to heterosexual youth, and between 25-40% of homeless youth identify as LGBT. Some are homeless by choice, others are forced into homelessness after being kicked out of their home.
Bruce also spends time working in both North Dakota and western Minnesota educating service providers, especially in the child welfare system, on providing culturally competent care to the LGBT community
