    Bolm. Zool., Univ. S. P aub 3:121-142, 1978 FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY OF DON AX HANLEY ANUS PHILIPPI 1847 (DONACIDAE - BIVALVIA) Walter Narchi Department o f Zoology University o f São Paulo, Brazil ABSTRACT Donax hanleyanus Philippi 1847 occurs throughout the southern half o f the Brazilian littoral. The main organ systems were studied in the living animal, particular attention being paid to the cilia­ ry feeding and cleasing mechanisms in the mantle cavity. The anatomy, functioning of the stomach and the ciliary sorting mechanisms are described. The stomach unlike that of almost all species of Donax and like the majority of the Tellinacea belongs to type V, as defined by Purchon, and could be regarded as advanced for the Donacidae. A general comparison has been made between the known species of Donax and some features of Iphigenia brasiliensis Lamarck 1818, also a donacid. INTRODUCTION Very little is known of donacid bivalves from the Brazilian littoral. Except for the publications of Narchi (1972; 1974) on Iphigenia brasiliensis and some ecological and adaptative features on Donax hanleyanus, all references to them are brief descrip­ tions of the shell and cheklists drawn up from systematic surveys. Beach clams of the genus Donax inhabit intertidal sandy shores in most parts of the world. Donax hanleyanus Philippi 1847 is one of four species occuring through­ out the Brazilian littoral. Its known range includes Espirito Santo State and the sou­ thern Atlantic shoreline down to Uruguay (Rios, 1975). According to Penchaszadeh & Olivier (1975) the species occur in the littoral of Argentina. 122 Walter Narchi The species is fairly common in São Paulo, Parana and Santa Catarina States whe­ re it is used as food by the coastal population (Goffeijé, 1950), and is known as “na- nini” It is known by the name “beguara” (Ihering, 1897) in the Iguape region, but not in S.

    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published July 20 Mar Ecol Prog Ser 1 Effects of human activities on long-term trends in sandy beach populations: the wedge clam Donax hanleyanus in Uruguay Omar Defeo*, Anita de Alava Instituto Nacional de Pesca, Casilla de Correo 1612, 11200 Montevideo, Uruguay ABSTRACT: A long-term analysis of the structure of a bivalve population consisting of the wedge clam Donax hanleyanus is described for an exposed temperate sandy beach of Uruguay. The potential effects of human harvesting on the sympatric bivalve Mesodesma mactroides (yellow clam) and of salinity were analyzed through time and space (longshore variation). Inter- and intra-annual fluctua- tions of the different population components (recruits, juveniles and adults) were detected. D. han- leyanus showed uneven periods of abundance, with the occurrence of peaks of different magnitude that appeared related to fluctuations in the fishing effort targeting on the yellow clam. D. hanlepanus showed a marked longshore variability in population structure and abundance along the 22 km of sandy beach sampled Spatial variations in salinity and also in the amount of fishing effort exerted on Ad. mactroides seem to be key factors in explaining th~svariation. This study suggests that further research on sandy beach populations should include human activities as important factors affecting long-term trends. KEY WORDS: Donax - Bivalves . Sandy beach.

Abstract: The factors involved in promoting long life are extremely intriguing from a human perspective. In part by confronting our own mortality, we have a desire to understand why some organisms live for centuries and others only a matter of days or weeks. What are the factors involved in promoting long life? Not only are questions of lifespan significant from a human perspective, but they are also important from a paleontological one. Most studies of evolution in the fossil record examine changes in the size and the shape of organisms through time. Size and shape are in part a function of life history parameters like lifespan and growth rate, but so far little work has been done on either in the fossil record. The shells of bivavled mollusks may provide an avenue to do just that. Bivalves, much like trees, record their size at each year of life in their shells. In other words, bivalve shells record not only lifespan, but also growth rate.
