Hawaiian Tree Snail Genetics
Appendix ES-9 Introduction Recent evolutionary radiations on island chains such as the Hawaiian Islands can provide insight into evolutionary processes, such as genetic drift and adaptation (Wallace 1880, Grant and Grant 1994, Losos and Ricklefs 2009). For limited mobility species, colonization processes hold important evolutionary stories not just among islands, but within islands as well (Holland and Hadfield 2002, Parent 2012). One such radiation produced at least 91 species of Hawaiian tree snails in the endemic subfamily Achatinellinae, on at least five of the six main Hawaiian Islands: O‘ahu, Maui, Lana‘i, Moloka‘i, and Hawai‘i (Pilsbry and Cooke 1912–1914, Holland and Hadfield 2007). As simultaneous hermaphrodites with the ability to self-fertilize, colonization events among islands may have occurred via the accidental transfer of a single individual by birds (Pilsbry and Cooke 1912–1914), or via land bridges that connected Maui, Molokai, and Lanai at various points in geologic history (Price and Elliot- Fisk 2004). Early naturalists attributed speciation solely to genetic drift, noting that this subfamily was “still a youthful group in the full flower of their evolution” (Pilsbry and Cooke 1912–1914). However, as these species evolved over dramatic precipitation and temperature gradients, natural selection and adaptation may have been quite rapid as species expanded to fill unexploited niches along environmental gradients, early in this subfamily’s history. As such, species in the subfamily Achatinellinae provide an excellent system for examining both neutral and adaptive processes of evolution. Habitat loss, predation by introduced species, and over-harvesting by collectors led to the extinction of more than 50 species in the subfamily Achatinellinae, and resulted in the declaration of all remaining species in the genus Achatinella as Endangered (Hadfield and Mountain 1980; U.S. -

At Healthy Yards for first glance I thought it was a donut with purple Healthy Streams icing that had been plopped down on a piece of paper and the icing splattered. The reality is so much better. Naturalist, Bill Davit, was going to show his grandson how to open a walnut. When he opened the walnut it was filled with maggots. You and I might throw it away in disgust but not Bill. He created a circle with a bunch of poke berries, and then poured the juice of a handful of the berries onto the circle. -
9.0 Strategy for Stabilization of Koolau Achatinella Species
9-1 9.0 Strategy for Stabilization of Koolau Achatinella species General Description and Biology Achatinella species are arboreal and generally nocturnal, preferring cool and humid conditions. During the day, the snails seal themselves against leaf surfaces to avoid drying out. The snails graze on fungi growing on the surfaces of leaves and trunks. Achatinella are hermaphroditic though it is unclear whether or not individuals are capable of self-fertilization. All species in the endemic genus bear live young (USFWS 1993). Taxonomic background: The genus Achatinella is endemic to the island of Oahu and the subfamily Achatinellinae is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. A total of 41 species were recognized by Pilsbry and Cooke in a monograph of the genus (1912-1913). This treatment is still recognized for the most part by the USFWS, although several genetic studies by Holland and Hadfield (2002, 2004) have further elucidated the relationships among species. Threats: Threats to Achatinella species in general are rats (Rattus rattus, R. norvegicus, and R. exulans), predatory snails (Euglandina rosea), terrestrial flatworms Geoplana septemlineata and Platydemis manokwari, and the small terrestrial snail Oxychilus alliarius. Lower elevation sites may be under more pressure from E. rosea and rats as human disturbed sites may have provide more ingress points for these threats. Threats in the Action Area: The decline of these species has not been attributed to threats from any Army training maneuvers either direct or indirect. Rather, the decline is likely due the loss of genetic variation caused by genetic drift in the remaining small populations and predation by rats (Rattus sp.) and the introduced predatory snail Euglandina rosea. -
