The molecular phylogeny based on the combined dataset indicates that Margarya is polyphyletic, as two of the three well-supported clades containing species of Margarya also comprise species from other viviparid genera. In one clade, sequences of four species of Margarya even cluster indiscriminately with those of two species of Cipangopaludina, indi- cating that the current state of Asian viviparid taxonomy needs to be revised. Additionally, these data suggest that shell evolution in viviparids is complex, as even the large and strongly sculptured shells of Margarya, which are outstanding among Asian viviparids, can apparently be easily converted to simple smooth shells.

Abstract This study was carried out during 2011-2012 to evaluate the preference of some freshwater snails to specific macrophytes than others. Snails were collected from different aquatic plants; Ceratophyllum demersum, Potamogeton crispus, Salvinia natans,and Hydrilla verticillata at four stations. The presence of these plants was affected by the water temperature, they almost disappear in winter leading to low snail numbers at that season. Eight snail species were found at the study area; Bellamya bengalensis (Lamarck, 1822), Bithynia hareerensis Glöer, and Nasser, 2008 ,Gyrauluse hrenbergi (Beck, 1837), Melanoides tuberculata (Müller, 1774), Melanopsis nodosa Férussac, 1823, Physlla acuta Draparnaud, 1805, Radix auricularia (Linnaeus,1758), Theodoxus jordani (Sowerby, 1832). Statistical analysis shows a significant differences (P<0.05) between macrophyte's snails number, C. demersum and H. verticilata was the most preferred macrophyte in this study, while S. natanus recorded no occurrence of snails.

  • Aquatic Snails of the Snake and Green River Basins of Wyoming
    Aquatic snails of the Snake and Green River Basins of Wyoming Lusha Tronstad Invertebrate Zoologist Wyoming Natural Diversity Database University of Wyoming 307-766-3115 [email protected] Mark Andersen Information Systems and Services Coordinator Wyoming Natural Diversity Database University of Wyoming 307-766-3036 [email protected] Suggested citation: Tronstad, L.M. and M. D. Andersen. 2018. Aquatic snails of the Snake and Green River Basins of Wyoming. Report prepared by the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database for the Wyoming Fish and Wildlife Department. 1 Abstract Freshwater snails are a diverse group of mollusks that live in a variety of aquatic ecosystems. Many snail species are of conservation concern around the globe. About 37-39 species of aquatic snails likely live in Wyoming. The current study surveyed the Snake and Green River basins in Wyoming and identified 22 species and possibly discovered a new operculate snail. We surveyed streams, wetlands, lakes and springs throughout the basins at randomly selected locations. We measured habitat characteristics and basic water quality at each site. Snails were usually most abundant in ecosystems with higher standing stocks of algae, on solid substrate (e.g., wood or aquatic vegetation) and in habitats with slower water velocity (e.g., backwater and margins of streams). We created an aquatic snail key for identifying species in Wyoming. The key is a work in progress that will be continually updated to reflect changes in taxonomy and new knowledge. We hope the snail key will be used throughout the state to unify snail identification and create better data on Wyoming snails.

  • Snail Distributions in Lake Erie: the Influence of Anoxia in the Southern Central Basin Nearshore Zone1
    230 E. M. SWINFORD Vol. 85 Copyright © 1985 Ohio Acad. Sci. OO3O-O95O/85/OOO5-O23O $2.00/0 SNAIL DISTRIBUTIONS IN LAKE ERIE: THE INFLUENCE OF ANOXIA IN THE SOUTHERN CENTRAL BASIN NEARSHORE ZONE1 KENNETH A. KRIEGER, Water Quality Laboratory, Heidelberg College, Tiffin, OH 44883 ABSTRACT. The distributions and abundances of gastropods collected in sediment grab samples in 1978 and 1979 in the southern nearshore zone of the central basin of Lake Erie were compared with earlier gastropod records from throughout the lake. Since the 1920s, 34 species in eight families have been reported for the lake proper. Sixteen species have been reported only once, 13 of them in three reports prior to 1950. All but three of the species collected by two or more authors prior to the mid-1950s have also been collected in the past decade. The most frequently reported species are Walvata trkarinata, Bithynia tentaculata, Elimia ( =Goniobasis) livescens, Physella "sp.", Amnkola limosa, Pleuroceraacuta and V. sincera. Only six of 19 studies reported species densities, and most did not record sample locations, depths or substrates. Thus, only a limited comparison of the gastropod fauna between studies was possible, with the exception of several well documented studies in the western basin up to the early 1960s. Of four introduced species in Lake Erie, only two were found in the present study, and these appear to have no influence on the present distributions of the native species. The absence of snails in the south- western part of the study area and at the mouths of the Cuyahoga and Black rivers appears to be the result of prolonged anoxia during one or more summers preceding the study.

    9 Mitt. dtsch. malakozool. Ges. 86 9 – 12 Frankfurt a. M., Dezember 2011 Under Threat: The Stability of Authorships of Taxonomic Names in Malacology RUUD A. BANK Abstract: Nomenclature must be constructed in accordance with agreed rules. The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature was founded in Leiden in September 1895. It not only produced a Code of nomencla- ture, that was refined over the years, but also provided arbitration and advice service, all with the aim of ensur- ing that every animal has one unique and universally accepted name. Name changes reduce the efficiency of biological nomenclature as a reference system. The Code was established to precisely specify the circumstances under which a name must be changed, and in what way. Name changes are only permitted if it is necessitated by a correction of nomenclatural error, by a change in classification, or by a correction of a past misidentification. Also authorships are regulated by the Code, mainly by Article 50. In a recent paper by WELTER-SCHULTES this Article is interpreted in a way that is different from previous interpretations by the zoological (malacological) community, leading to major changes in authorships. It is here argued that his alternative interpretations (1) are not in line with the spirit of the Code, and (2) will not serve the stability of nomenclature. It is important that interpretation and application of the existing rules be objective, consistent, and clear. Keywords: authorships, malacology, nomenclature, Code, ICZN, Article 50, Pisidium Zusammenfassung: In der Nomenklatur müssen übereinstimmende Regeln gelten. Die Internationale Kommis- sion für Zoologische Nomenklatur (ICZN) wurde im September 1895 in Leiden gegründet.

  • Ceh Code List for Recording the Macroinvertebrates in Fresh Water in the British Isles
    01 OCTOBER 2011 CEH CODE LIST FOR RECORDING THE MACROINVERTEBRATES IN FRESH WATER IN THE BRITISH ISLES CYNTHIA DAVIES AND FRANÇOIS EDWARDS CEH Code List For Recording The Macroinvertebrates In Fresh Water In The British Isles October 2011 Report compiled by Cynthia Davies and François Edwards Centre for Ecology & Hydrology Maclean Building Benson Lane Crowmarsh Gifford, Wallingford Oxfordshire, OX10 8BB United Kingdom Purpose The purpose of this Coded List is to provide a standard set of names and identifying codes for freshwater macroinvertebrates in the British Isles. These codes are used in the CEH databases and by the water industry and academic and commercial organisations. It is intended that, by making the list as widely available as possible, the ease of data exchange throughout the aquatic science community can be improved. The list includes full listings of the aquatic invertebrates living in, or closely associated with, freshwaters in the British Isles. The list includes taxa that have historically been found in Britain but which have become extinct in recent times. Also included are names and codes for ‘artificial’ taxa (aggregates of taxa which are difficult to split) and for composite families used in calculation of certain water quality indices such as BMWP and AWIC scores. Current status The list has evolved from the checklist* produced originally by Peter Maitland (then of the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology) (Maitland, 1977) and subsequently revised by Mike Furse (Centre for Ecology & Hydrology), Ian McDonald (Thames Water Authority) and Bob Abel (Department of the Environment). That list was subject to regular revisions with financial support from the Environment Agency.
