Benthic macroinvertebrates are commonly included in studies to monitor the effects of human and natural stresses on marine and estuarine ecosystems. There are several reasons for this. Macroinvertebrates (here defined as animals retained on a 0.5-mm mesh sieve) are abundant in most coastal and estuarine sediments, typically on the order of 103 to 104 per meter squared. Benthic communities are typically composed of many taxa from different phyla, and quantitative measures of community diversity (e.g., Rosenberg et al. 2004) and the relative abundance of animals with different feeding behaviors (e.g., Weisberg et al. 1997, Pelletier et al. 2010), can be used to evaluate ecosystem health. Because most benthic invertebrates are sedentary as adults, they function as integrators, over periods of months to years, of the properties of their environment.

SAUL Invertebrate Paleontology Section, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, 900 Exposition Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90007, USA Abstract. The Cretaceous record of the nuculid bivalve Acila (Truncacila) Grant & Gale, 1931, is established for the first time in the region extending from the Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia, southward to Baja California, Mexico. Its record is represented by three previously named species, three new species, and one possible new species. The previously named species are reviewed and refined. The cumulative geologic range of all these species is Early Cretaceous (late Aptian) to Late Cretaceous (early late Maastrichtian), with the highest diversity (four species) occurring in the latest Campanian to early Maastrichtian. Acila (T.) allisoni, sp. nov., known only from upper Aptian strata of northern Baja California, Mexico, is one of the earliest confirmed records of this subgenus. ‘‘Aptian’’ reports of Trun- cacila in Tunisia, Morocco, and possibly eastern Venzeula need confirmation. Specimens of the study area Acila are most abundant in sandy, shallow-marine deposits that accumulated under warm- water conditions. Possible deeper water occurrences need critical evaluation.

Available data on biology and ecology are added. Illustrations and distribution maps of all species are given. The genera Pronucula Hedley, 1902, and Deminucula Iredale, 1931, are considered synonyms of Nucula Lamarck, 1799. Rumptunucula is proposed as a new genus for Pronucula vincentiana Cotton and Godfrey, 1938. Lectotypes are selected for Nucula pusilla Angas, 1877, Nucula micans Angas, 1878, Nucula torresi Smith, 1885, Nucula dilecta Smith, 1891, Nucula hedfeyi Pritchard and Gatliff, 1904, Deminucula praetenta Iredale, 1924, Pronucufa mayi Iredale, 1930, and Pronucula saltator Iredale, 1939. Nucula micans Angas, Nucula hedleyi Pritchard and Gatliff, and Pronucula concentrica Cotton, 1930 are considered synonyms of Nucula pusilla Angas. Pronucula voorwindei Bergmans, 1969 is synonymized with Nucula torresi Smith. Nucula diaphana Prashad, 1932 and Pronucula flindersi Cotton, 1930 are ranked as subspecies of Nucula dilecta Smith.

  • Molluscs: Bivalvia Laura A
    I Molluscs: Bivalvia Laura A. Brink The bivalves (also known as lamellibranchs or pelecypods) include such groups as the clams, mussels, scallops, and oysters. The class Bivalvia is one of the largest groups of invertebrates on the Pacific Northwest coast, with well over 150 species encompassing nine orders and 42 families (Table 1).Despite the fact that this class of mollusc is well represented in the Pacific Northwest, the larvae of only a few species have been identified and described in the scientific literature. The larvae of only 15 of the more common bivalves are described in this chapter. Six of these are introductions from the East Coast. There has been quite a bit of work aimed at rearing West Coast bivalve larvae in the lab, but this has lead to few larval descriptions. Reproduction and Development Most marine bivalves, like many marine invertebrates, are broadcast spawners (e.g., Crassostrea gigas, Macoma balthica, and Mya arenaria,); the males expel sperm into the seawater while females expel their eggs (Fig. 1).Fertilization of an egg by a sperm occurs within the water column. In some species, fertilization occurs within the female, with the zygotes then text continues on page 134 Fig. I.
