Secondary gills consisted of a single layer of gill folds, which appear mostly as triangular leafl ets in scanning electron micrographs. Th e lamellae showed a prominent thickening on the free margin and horizontal swellings, which bear a series of ciliary structures on the frontal surface, as well as disperse bunches. Th ey diff ered from the discocilia and, because chemoreception has been attributed to them in the absence of an osphradium, they are thought to contribute to the primary respiratory role of the gills. Th ese morphological characteristics are to be researched further, both in natural and experimental specimens of this genus. Key words: Patella, gill, SEM, ciliary structures Patella caerulea L.

  • Patellid Limpets: an Overview of the Biology and Conservation of Keystone Species of the Rocky Shores
    Chapter 4 Patellid Limpets: An Overview of the Biology and Conservation of Keystone Species of the Rocky Shores Paulo Henriques, João Delgado and Ricardo Sousa Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/67862 Abstract This work reviews a broad spectrum of subjects associated to Patellid limpets’ biology such as growth, reproduction, and recruitment, also the consequences of commercial exploitation on the stocks and the effects of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the biology and populational dynamics of these intertidal grazers. Knowledge of limpets’ biological traits plays an important role in providing proper background for their effective man- agement. This chapter focuses on determining the effect of biotic and abiotic factors that influence these biological characteristics and associated geographical patterns. Human exploitation of limpets is one of the main causes of disturbance in the intertidal ecosys- tem and has occurred since prehistorical times resulting in direct and indirect alterations in the abundance and size structure of the target populations. The implementation of MPAs has been shown to result in greater biomass, abundance, and size of limpets and to counter other negative anthropogenic effects. However, inefficient planning and lack of surveillance hinder the accomplishment of the conservation purpose of MPAs. Inclusive conservation approaches involving all the stakeholders could guarantee future success of conservation strategies and sustainable exploitation. This review also aims to estab- lish how beneficial MPAs are in enhancing recruitment and yield of adjacent exploited populations. Keywords: Patellidae, limpets, fisheries, MPAs, conservation 1.

  • Patellogastropod Molluscs Support Multiple Invasions of Deep Sea Habitats
    240 Patellogastropod Molluscs Support Multiple Invasions of Deep Sea Habitats LINDBERG, David R.; GURALNICK*, Robert; HEDEGf\ARD, Claus, Dept. of Integrative Biology & Museum ofPaleontolobJ]', University ofCalifomia, Berkeley, CA 94720, U.S.A.; JACOBS, David, Dept. ofBiology, University ofCalifomia, Los Angeles, CA 90095, U.S.A. The Patellogastropoda are the most primitive of all Gastropoda based on both morphological and molecular data. Moreover, they are almost exclusively an intertidal and shallow water group. Over 90% ofthe species are found in 33 m or less. Patellogastropod characters are well known and have been sufficiently studied so that autapomorphies are unlikely to deeply masked relationships. Moreover, shell structure, preserved in both fossil and Recent taxa, is character rich and ecologically invariant. Patellogastropods are the sister taxon of all other gastropods and are therefore assumed to be an ancient lineage. Four patellogastropod taxa have representatives in the deep sea.. Patellogastropod taxa at vents and seeps have been previously argued to have ridden vents down from shallow water habitats or are evidence of immigration and colonization from shallow water habitats (onshore - offshore model). Vent fauna could also be aggregates ofsome 'old' shallow water things that rode the vents down, and colonization from both deep sea and shallow water habitats. It is difficult to test different alternative hypothesis. Arguments for antiquity of patellogastropods in the deep sea are often based on fossil occurrences of taxonomically similar taxa. This similarity not rigorously tested to determine whether or not it reflects relatedness. Most taxonomies, especially for fossil and living marine invertebrates, do not, but instead have been based on comparison of shell morphologies between fossil and living gastropods.

  • Vent Fauna in the Mariana Trough 25 Shigeaki Kojima and Hiromi Watanabe
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Springer - Publisher Connector Vent Fauna in the Mariana Trough 25 Shigeaki Kojima and Hiromi Watanabe Abstract The Mariana Trough is a back-arc basin in the Northwestern Pacific. To date, active hydrothermal vent fields associated with the back-arc spreading center have been reported from the central to the southernmost region of the basin. In spite of a large variation of water depth, no clear segregation of vent faunas has been recognized among vent fields in the Mariana Trough and a large snail Alviniconcha hessleri dominates chemosynthesis- based communities in most fields. Although the Mariana Trough approaches the Mariana Arc at both northern and southern ends, the fauna at back-arc vents within the trough appears to differ from arc vents. In addition, a distinct chemosynthesis-based community was recently discovered in a methane seep site on the landward slope of the Mariana Trench. On the other hand, some hydrothermal vent fields in the Okinawa Trough backarc basin and the Izu-Ogasawara Arc share some faunal groups with the Mariana Trough. The Mariana Trough is a very interesting area from the zoogeographical point of view. Keywords Alvinoconcha hessleri Chemosynthetic-based communities Hydrothermal vent Mariana Arc Mariana Trough 25.1 Introduction The first hydrothermal vent field discovered in the Mariana Trough was the Alice Springs, in the Central Mariana Trough The Mariana Trough is a back-arc basin in the Northwestern (18 130 N, 144 430 E: 3,600 m depth) in 1987 (Craig et al.

    Phylogeny of the Caenogastropoda (Mollusca), based on comparative morphologRyegister Login CURRENT ARCHIVES ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT Search VOL 42 NO 4 HOME ARCHIVES (2011) Original Article Phylogeny of the Caenogastropoda (Mollusca), based on comparative morphology Luiz Ricardo L. Simone Museu de Zoologia Universidade de São Paulo DOI: https://doi.org/10.11606/issn.2176-7793.v42i4p161-323 ABSTRACT The systematics, classification and phylogeny of the Caenogastropoda are revised based on an analysis of the morphology of representatives of all branches. The basis of this work is the detailed examination of the morphology of 305 species, most of which are reported on in detail elsewhere. Representatives of most caenogastropod families were included (comprising 270 species), and 35 outgroup taxa. A phylogenetic analysis based upon 676 morphological characters, with 2291 states (1915 of which are apomorphic states), is presented. The characters comprise every organ system and many are discussed in detail. The polarization is based on a pool of non-caenogastropods, comprising 27 representatives of Heterobranchia, Neritimorpha, Vetigastropoda, Cocculiniformia and Patellogastropoda. Additionally, eight representatives of other classes are also included. The root is based on the representative of Polyplacophora. A few characters were included in order to organize the outgroups, to find the position of Caenogastropoda among them, and to find the synapomorphies of Caenogastropoda. A strict consensus cladogram of the 48 most parsimonious trees (Fig. 20; length of 3036, CI = 51 and RI = 94) is presented, a synopsis of which is: ((((((Cyclophoroidea2 (Ampullarioidea5 (Viviparoidea15 (Cerithioidea19 (Rissooidea41 (Stromboidea47 (Calyptraeoidea67 (Naticoidea97 (Cypraeoidea118 (Tonnoidea149 (Conoidea179 (Cancellarioidea222 – Muricoidea212)))))))))))) HeterobranchiaV) NeritimorphaU) VetigastropodaL) CocculiniformiaJ) Patellogastropoda) (superscripts indicating the nodes at Fig.

  • Comparative Analysis of the Complete Mitochondrial Genomes in Two
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genomes in two limpets from Lottiidae (Gastropoda: Patellogastropoda): rare irregular gene rearrangement within Gastropoda Jian‑tong Feng1, Ya‑hong Guo1, Cheng‑rui Yan1, Ying‑ying Ye1,2*, Ji‑ji Li1, Bao‑ying Guo1,2 & Zhen‑ming Lü1,2 To improve the systematics and taxonomy of Patellogastropoda within the evolution of gastropods, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of Lottia goshimai and Nipponacmea fuscoviridis in the family Lottiidae, which presented sizes of 18,192 bp and 18,720 bp, respectively. In addition to 37 common genes among metazoa, we observed duplication of the trnM gene in L. goshimai and the trnM and trnW genes in N. fuscoviridis. The highest A + T contents of the two species were found within protein‑coding genes (59.95% and 54.55%), followed by rRNAs (56.50% and 52.44%) and tRNAs (56.42% and 52.41%). trnS1 and trnS2 could not form the canonical cloverleaf secondary structure due to the lack of a dihydrouracil arm in both species. The gene arrangements in all Patellogastropoda compared with those of ancestral gastropods showed diferent levels of gene rearrangement, including the shufing, translocation and inversion of single genes or gene fragments. This kind of irregular rearrangement is particularly obvious in the Lottiidae family. The results of phylogenetic and gene rearrangement analyses showed that L. goshimai and Lottia digitalis clustered into one group, which in turn clustered with N. fuscoviridis in Patellogastropoda. This study demonstrates the signifcance of complete mitogenomes for phylogenetic analysis and enhances our understanding of the evolution of Patellogastropoda.
