January 15, 2015 January 15, 2015 Below are: (1) a bibliography of works on western Atlantic marine mollusks appearing in the journal Avicennia . It includes a listing of all species-level taxa introduced in the cited paper. (2) An alphabetical list of taxa described (new 168, old 1), by family, in the cited papers. These databases are adapted from Gary Rosenberg's Malacolog 4.1.1 < http://www.malacolog.org/ > , and the latter was generated with major assistance from Peggy Williams of Tallevast, FL. Publication date refinement, orthographic emendations, synonymies, and generic reassignments are the work of Dr. Rosenberg. The purpose of this webfeature is to provide a searchable, Internet-linked resource now that the entirety of this discontinued journal (1993-2007) is available on-line at: http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/79640#/summary ************************************************************************************* Ardila, N.

    Card Catalogue of World-wide Shells by S. D. Kaicher Pack contents index Version 1.0 Paul Callomon Elle Scientific Publications Osaka-fu Yao-shi Suehiro-cho 5-2-1 581-0001 Japan November, 1999 (c) Copyright 1999 Paul Callomon. This work may be distributed for personal or institutional use via download from designated web sites; it may be formatted and reprinted in single copies on the condition that the work remains entire. It may not be sold or republished in any form. This work is not available for purposes of zoological nomenclature. Introduction This is an index of the contents of each of the 60 card packs which make up Sally Kaicher's Card Catalogue. It is designed to allow those attempting to collect entire sets to monitor their progress. An alphabetical index of the Catalogue by species name is already available on the same website as this one. Notes - Cards are listed here in numerical order, with the packs ordered as originally published; where the original author's number modifications are available, these have been adopted. In order to use this index as efficiently as possible, owners of cards are recommended to store them by pack, in numerical order. In order not to preempt any of the revisions of the Card Catalogue currently in preparation, no attempt has been made to correct spellings (even where there are clearly typographical errors) or to revise classification. Kaicher's own subsequent modifications to generic placement are similarly not incorporated here. - In the case of 'replacement' cards, Kaicher gave the card a series number as well as the number of the card it was to replace.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF BENTHIC MOLLUSCS ALONG A DEPTH GRADIENT IN THE BAHAMAS Michael Joseph Dowgiallo, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Marjorie L. Reaka-Kudla Department of Biology, UMCP Species richness and abundance of benthic bivalve and gastropod molluscs was determined over a depth gradient of 5 - 244 m at Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas by deploying replicate benthic collectors at five sites at 5 m, 14 m, 46 m, 153 m, and 244 m for six months beginning in December 1993. A total of 773 individual molluscs comprising at least 72 taxa were retrieved from the collectors. Analysis of the molluscan fauna that colonized the collectors showed overwhelmingly higher abundance and diversity at the 5 m, 14 m, and 46 m sites as compared to the deeper sites at 153 m and 244 m. Irradiance, temperature, and habitat heterogeneity all declined with depth, coincident with declines in the abundance and diversity of the molluscs. Herbivorous modes of feeding predominated (52%) and carnivorous modes of feeding were common (44%) over the range of depths studied at Lee Stocking Island, but mode of feeding did not change significantly over depth. One bivalve and one gastropod species showed a significant decline in body size with increasing depth. Analysis of data for 960 species of gastropod molluscs from the Western Atlantic Gastropod Database of the Academy of Natural Sciences (ANS) that have ranges including the Bahamas showed a positive correlation between body size of species of gastropods and their geographic ranges. There was also a positive correlation between depth range and the size of the geographic range.

Aceptado el 24-I-2005 ABSTRACT Volvarina ryalli sp. nov. is described from the northern subequatorial zone of West Africa, ranging from western Liberia to central Ghana, at lower infralittoral and upper circalittoral levels. Volvarina ryalli is compared with the V. ambigua (Bavay, 1913) / V. deliciosa (Bavay, 1913) complex from off northwest Africa and with V. angolensis (Odhner, 1923) from southern Angola. RESUMEN Se describe Volvarina ryalli spec. nov. del norte de la zona subecuatorial de Africa occi - dental, cuya área de distribución va desde el oeste de Liberia a la parte central de Ghana, y que se encuentra desde niveles infralitorales bajos hasta circalitorales altos. Volvarina ryalli se compara con el complejo V. ambigua (Bavay, 1913) / V. deliciosa (Bavay, 1913) de la zona noroccidental de Africa y con V. angolensis (Odhner, 1923) del sur de Angola.

    July - August, 2015_____________________________________________________________Volume 56 No. 4 Programs There will be no Jacksonville Shell Club (JSC) meeting this July. We hope members will be out in the field collecting and enjoying themselves in the long summer days. Let's gather some "Marine Observations" and share them at the August meeting. On Thursday, August 27, the JSC will convene at the usual time (7:00 PM) and place (Southeast Branch, Jacksonville Public Library <http://jpl.coj.net/lib/branches/se.html>). The shell-of-the-month will be presented by Harry Lee. His choice will be made at the annual Conchologists of America (COA) convention in Weston, FL (July 12-18). It will be the most spectacular shell he observes at the scientific programs, oral and silent auctions, bourse, on the field trips, and in more impromptu encounters. Rick Edwards, who is also planning to attend, will do the photography. The main program will be given by Charlotte Thorpe, who is fresh back from a diving expedition to the Dominican Republic. Likely there'll be several living mollusks caught in natural poses by Char's well-honed underwater photographic skills. President’s Message Dear JSC Members, There is not much activity to mention for the club over the next couple of months, we are currently cruising in idle mode. Summer is upon us and for all of us currently living in Florida, the past few days have already brought on that incredibly warm and humid feeling. With that said, I am dreaming of shelling on the beach for some marine snails on a warm sunny day, shelling in the bush for some land snails after a good rain, or cruising down a nice cool river or creek with my snorkeling gear looking for some aquatics! I'd probably enjoy self propelling a jet back through the breeze, but it seems there have been no flying snails discovered as of yet, so I'll pass on that adventure for the time being.

  • Resolving the Evolutionary Relationships of Molluscs with Phylogenomic Tools
    LETTER doi:10.1038/nature10526 Resolving the evolutionary relationships of molluscs with phylogenomic tools Stephen A. Smith1,2, Nerida G. Wilson3,4, Freya E. Goetz1, Caitlin Feehery1,4,So´nia C. S. Andrade5, Greg W. Rouse4, Gonzalo Giribet5 & Casey W. Dunn1 Molluscs (snails, octopuses, clams and their relatives) have a great Mollusca (which dates back to the Cambrian), combined with the disparity of body plans and, among the animals, only arthropods numerous Palaeozoic forms that are considered stem-group molluscs surpass them in species number. This diversity has made Mollusca and the lack of resolution in targeted-gene approaches to molluscan one of the best-studied groups of animals, yet their evolutionary phylogenetics, pointed towards a possible rapid radiation with little relationships remain poorly resolved1. Open questions have phylogenetic signal left in the genomes of molluscs. However, the same important implications for the origin of Mollusca and for morpho- has been argued for the radiation of Metazoa in the Cambrian or logical evolution within the group. These questions include earlier15, but large increases in gene representation using phyloge- whether the shell-less, vermiform aplacophoran molluscs diverged nomic analyses have clearly ameliorated this problem and identified before the origin of the shelled molluscs (Conchifera)2–4 or lost relationships that seemed impossible to resolve with target-gene their shells secondarily. Monoplacophorans were not included in 5,6 molecular studies until recently , when it was proposed that they a Polyplacophora constitute a clade named Serialia together with Polyplacophora (chitons), reflecting the serial repetition of body organs in both Neomeniomorpha Aculifera groups5. Attempts to understand the early evolution of molluscs Chaetodermomorpha become even more complex when considering the large diversity of Monoplacophora Cambrian fossils.
