The study of these oyster drillers is based on various methods (cladistics, biometry, Procrustes and Fourier analyses) and concerns popula- tions from 40 localities of the Atlantic (from Normandy to Morocco) and GEODIVERSITAS • 2004 • 26 (2) © Publications Scientifiques du Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris. www.geodiversitas.com 263 Berrou V. et al. Mediterranean shorelines. The results indicate a morphological distribution of North/South orientation, the more derived southern forms being closely related. In spite of a strong variability, a beginning of differentiation, proba- bly dating from the Plio-Pleistocene, is observed between three groups: 1) Northern Atlantic Ocean (O. erinaceus); 2) Mediterranean Sea (O. eri- naceus); and 3) Moroccan Atlantic (O. brevirobusta). O. brevirobusta is tem- porarily regarded as a geographic subspecies of O. erinaceus, because of its uninterrupted marginal area, and its P2 cord more atrophied than in the KEY WORDS Italian late Pliocene O. erinaceus.

RÉSUMÉ Comparaison morphologique des coquilles pliocènes, quaternaires et actuelles d’Ocenebra erinaceus (Linnaeus, 1758) et d’O. brevirobusta Houart, 2000 (Mollusca, Muricidae, Ocenebrinae) : réflexion sur les variations intra- et inter- spécifiques. La variation morphologique de coquilles pliocènes, quaternaires et actuelles d’Ocenebra erinaceus (Linnaeus, 1758) et d’O. brevirobusta Houart, 2000 est analysée. L’étude de ces perceurs d’huîtres, fondée sur différentes méthodes (analyse cladistique, biométrie, morphométrie géométrique et transformée de Fourier), porte sur des populations de 40 localités des côtes atlantiques (de la Normandie au Maroc) et méditerranéennes. Les résultats indiquent une répartition morphologique d’orientation Nord/Sud, les formes méridionales, plus dérivées, étant étroitement apparentées. Malgré une forte variabilité, un début de différenciation, datant probablement du Plio-Pléistocène, s’observe entre trois groupes de populations : 1) Atlantique septentrional (O. erinaceus) ; 2) Méditerranée (O. erinaceus) ; et 3) Maroc atlantique (O. brevirobusta). O. brevirobusta est provisoirement considérée comme une sous-espèce géographique d’O. erinaceus, en raison d’une aire marginale non disjointe et d’une atrophie du cordon P2 plus marquée chez les O. erinaceus MOTS CLÉS du Pliocène supérieur italien. Au sein des trois groupes, l’analyse multivariée Mollusca, Gastropoda, de variance distingue des entités biogéographiques locales.

Les comparaisons entre O. erinaceus et populations, Ocinebrellus inornatus (Récluz, 1851), espèce introduite par l’homme en cladistique, morphométrie, Atlantique, révèlent de plus grandes similitudes avec les O. erinaceus de évolution. l’Atlantique septentrional qu’avec celles de Méditerranée ou du Maroc. 264 GEODIVERSITAS • 2004 • 26 (2) Shell variations in European Ocenebra (Mollusca, Muricidae) INTRODUCTION O. erinaceus, O. brevirobusta Houart, 2000 (Houart 2000a) and O. chavesi Houart, 1996 During the last decades, numerous allochthonous (Houart 1996).

Our sample included 243 specimens ascribed to seven currently accepted species from 51 sites. Five of the samples were from either the type locality of a nominal species or a close nearby locality (O. edwardsii from Corsica, O. carmelae and O. piantonii from the Kerkennah Islands, O. hispidula from the Gulf of Gabès and O. leukos from the Canary Islands), one from the inferred original locality (O. ingloria from Venice Lagoon), and specimens assigned in the recent literature to O. nicolai.

  • Comparative Anatomy of Four Primitive Muricacean Gastropods: Implications for Trophonine Phylogeny
    ^/ -S/ COMPARATIVE ANATOMY OF FOUR PRIMITIVE MURICACEAN GASTROPODS: IMPLICATIONS FOR TROPHONINE PHYLOGENY M. G. HARASEWYCH DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20560, U.S.A. ABSTRACT The main features of the shell, head-foot, palliai complex, alimentary and reproductive systems of Trophon geversianus (Pallas), Boreotrophon aculeatus (Watson), Paziella pazi (Crosse), and Nucella lamellosa (Gmelin) are described, and phonetic and cladistic analyses based on subsets of these data presented. Similarities in shell morphology revealed by phenetic studies are interpreted as being due to convergence, and are indicative of similar habitats rather than of close phylogenetic relationships. Convergences are also noted in radular and stomach characters. Cladistic analyses of anatomical data support the following conclusions: 1 ) Thaididae are a primitive and ancient family of muricaceans forming a clade equal in taxonomic rank with Muncidae; 2) Within Muricidae, P. pazi more closely resembles the ancestral muricid phenotype than any trophonine; 3) Trophoninae comprise a comparatively recent monophyletic group with differences due to a subsequent austral adaptive radiation. The Muricidae are considered to be the most primitive and D'Attilio, 1976:13) a personal communication from E.

E-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY: The evolution of the molluscan biota in Sabaudia Lake (Italy, central Tyrrhenian Sea) in the last century is hereby traced on the basis of bibliography, museum type materials, and field samplings carried out from April 2009 to Sep- tember 2011. Biological assessments revealed clearly distinct phases, elucidating the definitive shift of this human-induced coastal lake from a freshwater to a marine-influenced lagoon ecosystem. Records of marine subfossil taxa suggest that previous accommodations to these environmental features have already occurred in the past, in agreement with historical evidence. Faunal and ecological insights are offered for its current malacofauna, and special emphasis is given to alien spe- cies. Within this framework, Mytilodonta Coen, 1936, Mytilodonta paulae Coen, 1936 and Rissoa paulae Coen in Brunelli and Cannicci, 1940 are also considered new synonyms of Mytilaster Monterosato, 1884, Mytilaster marioni (Locard, 1889) and Rissoa membranacea (J.

Three Miocene species from Kamehatka assigned by Russian workers to Ceratostoma are difficult to evaluate owing to poor preservation. Purpura turris Nomland, from the Pliecene of California, which was assigned to Ceratostoma by earlicr authors, is here tentatively assigned to Crassilabrum Jousseaume, 1880, have arisen the the early Miocene, it The genus Ceratostoma may in Atlantic.
