Compositional Variability of Pleistocene Land Snail Assemblages Preserved in a Cinder Cone
Compositional variability of Pleistocene land snail assemblages preserved in a cinder cone volcano from Tenerife, Canary Islands A thesis submitted to the graduate school of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In the Department of Geology of the College of Arts and Sciences by Elizabeth M. Bullard B.S., Muskingum University, 2012 July 2016 Advisors: Dr. Yurena Yanes Dr. Arnold I. Miller Committee Member: Dr. Joshua Miller i Abstract Fossil assemblage faunal compositions may vary through space and time in response to climatic and/or taphonomic factors, but these relationships can be difficult to diagnose and disentangle. Here, we investigate how to disentangle climatic and taphonomic signals of a land- snail-rich volcanic scoria sequence to asses if it was influenced by taphonomic bias, climate change, or both, using a multifaceted approach, combining taphonomic, ecological, body-size, and stable-isotope data. Fossil assemblages were sampled from two beds (Units A and B) in a Pleistocene cinder cone volcano of southern Tenerife (Canary Islands), dated to the glacial interval MIS 8 (~299-302 ka). The two units differed in taphonomy, species composition, and abundance distributions. The upper unit, B (6 species), showed higher snail diversity and shell concentration and lower taphonomic alteration than the lower unit, A (3 species). Furthermore, larger bodied species (length>10mm) dominated Unit A and were better preserved than smaller species (length<10mm), whereas smaller individuals were more abundant (and better preserved) at Unit B. These differences were likely impacted by physical differences in the matrices surrounding the fossils. -
Terrestrial Snail Fauna in the Some§/Szamos' River Valley from the Spring Region to the Inflow Into the River Tisza
Terrestrial snail fauna in the Some§/Szamos' River Valley from the spring region to the inflow into the river Tisza Károly Bába and Andrei Sárkány-Kiss Abstract The sampling sites included montane and lowland riparian plant communities of early or advanced successional stages as well as forests of hilly region, which often extend.to riverbanks. The plant communities differ from each other by the composition of their snail assemblages, as it is proved by the results of cluster and principal component analyses. It was concluded, that ubiquitous and continental species {Bradybaena, Deroceras rodnae, Succinea putris, Helix lutescens) dominate among snails transported by the Somej/Szanios over long distances. Species of narrow ecological tolerance range can be found in the riparian vegetation of the Somej/Szamos Valley and also of minor watercourses arriving from neighbouring hills and mountains. The fauna dispersal from the spring region is hampered by water reservoirs, shrinkage of forest habitats to single row of trees along the river and the lack of riparian gallery forests in the flood area. The biotopes are subjected to the strongest human impact resulted from the forest management, or logging the flood plain into agricultural fields. The garbage disposal in/or near the riparian vegetation also cause major disturbances for the snail assemblages. Keywords: Gastropoda, human impact, Some$/Szamos River Valley Introduction A scientific expedition was organised in the valley of river Some$/Szamos between 1-18. 06. 1992 with the aim of assessing the current biotic status of the river. During the field investigations special attention was paid to the influence of human activities on the microflora and invertebrate fauna of the river, and on its natural self-purification. -

Its presence at the Lacu Roºu (Gyilkos-tó) area rep- resents the southeasternmost occurrence of the species. The only sample of P. lubomirski hitherto reported from Romania (leg. JICKELI in 1888 at Borsec Bai) seems to be lost from museum collections. The northern Carpathian distributional type is suggested for the species. The nomenclatural problem regarding the spelling of the specific name (i.e. lubomirskii or lubomirski) is discussed. The original, but less frequently used spelling (lubomirski) is suggested based on our understanding of the regulations of the ICZN. KEY WORDS: Carpathian species, faunistics, biogeography, Trochulus, anatomy INTRODUCTION Plicuteria lubomirski (Œlósarski, 1881) (often referred Umgebung des Bades Borszék” (=around Borsec Bai). to as Trochulus) is a Carpathian species reported from This record was later mentioned by SOÓS (1943) and Austria (KLEMM 1973, but also see REISCHÜTZ & GROSSU (1983). -

Two problematic, troglophilous gastropods from the Peloponnese, Greece (Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Zonitidae) E. Gitt enberger Gitt enberger, E. Two problematic, troglophilous gastropods from the Peloponnese, Greece (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Zonitidae). Zool. Med. Leiden 82 (28), 20.vi.2008: 275-280, fi gs 1-4.— ISSN 0024-0672. E. Gitt enberger, National Museum of Natural History 'Naturalis', P.O. Box 9517, NL 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands (gitt [email protected]). Key words: Gastropoda; Pulmonata; Oxychilidae; Pristilomatidae; new species; troglodytes; Greece. Two species of pulmonate gastropods are described as new to science although their generic classifi ca- tion remains uncertain since only shells are available for study. The species might be troglodytes. Their shells indicate the presence of subterraneous material. Introduction In 1985 and following years, during several excursions in the eastern part of the Peloponnese, Greece, empty shells of two unknown pulmonate species were found. Their subgeneric or even generic classifi cation is doubtful because of the absence of anatomical data. Probably these species occur in a for humans nearly inaccessible habitat. The snails are most probably troglophilous, if not troglodytic. Their shells may serve as indicators of deposits of subterranean material, which is an argument in favour of naming these species despite the fact that their systematic position remains unclear. Waiting for more data might become a too long wait. Both species were also found in a deposit together with shells of Tsoukatosia liae Gitt enberger, 2000 (Clausili- idae, Serrulininae), a clausiliid species with a glassy transparent shell, also indicative of a subterranean habitat and hitherto known from its type locality only. -
Land Snails of Leicestershire and Rutland
Land Snails of Leicestershire and Rutland Introduction There are 50 known species of land snail found in Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55) which represents about half of the 100 UK species. However molluscs are an under-recorded taxon group so it is possible that more species could be found and equally possible that a few may now be extinct in our two counties. There was a 20 year period of enthusiastic mollusc recording between 1967 and 1986, principally by museum staff, which account for the majority of species. Whilst records have increased again in the last three years thanks to NatureSpot, some species have not been recorded for over 30 years. All our land snails are in the class Gastropoda and the order Pulmonata. Whilst some of these species require damp habitats and are generally found near to aquatic habitats, they are all able to survive out of water. A number of species are largely restricted to calcareous habitats so are only found at a few sites. The sizes stated refer to the largest dimension of the shell typically found in adult specimens. There is much variation in many species and juveniles will of course be smaller. Note that the images are all greater than life size and not all the to the same scale. I have tried to display them at a sufficiently large scale so that the key features are visible. Always refer to the sizes given in the text. Status refers to abundance in Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55). However molluscs are generally under- recorded so our understanding of their distribution could easily change. -

Several factors play an important role in changes of the distribution of these species: ecological (climate change), ethological (passive dispersal potencial) and economic (increasing traffic as a vector of spreading). The spreading of M. cartusiana has a rapidly increasing trend. More than half sites in the Czech Republic were colonised by this species in 2000–2010. While the spread of C. nemoralis has been continuous during the last century, the rapid range extension was recorded in the last two decades.

In the framework of the research program of the Hungarian Natural History Museum ”Invertebrate faunistical investigation of Sălaj county”, numerous molluscs (87 species) were collected in 2014-2015. Compared to other parts of the Carpathians, the mollusc fauna of Sălaj county is relatively poor - after this investigations this number is increased to 114 species - considering either the total species richness or the number of taxa. In the list I enumerate the results of recent collections, adding and also comparing with the results by Domokos and Lennert, 2009 in connection the area of judetul Sălaj /Szilágyság. From faunistical and conservation point the most important results are species of Acicula perpusilla, Agardhiella lamellosa, Drobacia banatica, Unio crassus, Vertigo angustior, Vertigo moulinsiana and Vertigo substriata. thing worth mentioning. The most important outcome of this study was the discovery of a new Bythinella species: Bythinella gregoi GLÖER & ERŐSS and Alzoniella (?) species which is a new species and genus for Romania. The other important finding a very big empty shell of Mastus bielzi which could be a new subspecies. These recent researches made a result rare or new endemic species, it pays attention that the well-known, but not so deeply researched areas can be faunistical or scientific surprised.

Magyar Malakológiai Bibliográfia (1727–2004)
01_cikkek.qxd 2005.11.21. 10:00 Page 5 MALAKOLÓGIAI TÁJÉKOZTATÓ MALACOLOGICAL NEWSLETTER 2005 23: 5–129 Magyar Malakológiai Bibliográfia (1727–2004) Varga András, Fűköh Levente & Krolopp Endre Az első Magyar Malakológiai Bibliográfia 1983-ban a Budapesten megrendezett Unitas Malacologica Kongresszus alkalmával jelent meg, Merényi László szerkesztésében. A ki- advány – Magyarországi pleisztocén és recens malakológiai bibliográfia címen – igyekezett áttekintést adni mindazokról a munkákról, melyek Magyarország területén végzett kutatá- sok eredményeit tartalmazták. Az összeállítás Magyarország alatt az adott munka megjele- nési idejének megfelelő ország területét vette alapul. Jelen összeállítás is követi ezt az alap- elvet, de a fentieken túl tartalmaz minden olyan munkát is, mely magyar szerzők nevéhez fűződően hazánkon kívüli területek malakológiai anyagának feldolgozását tartalmazza, vagy valamilyen formában kapcsolatba került a magyarországi malakológiai kutatásokkal (pl. VERDCOURT 2004). Az 1983-ban megjelent kiadványt követően egyre gyakrabban jelentkezett az igény, hogy az időközben fellelt, s a kötetből kimaradt régebbi irodalmi adatok, illetve az eltelt időszak- ban elvégzett munkák összegzése is jelenjen meg. Ennek az igénynek igyekezett eleget tenni az 1991-ben PERJÉSI György és HORVÁTH Csaba által összeállított munka, „Magyarországi pleisztocén és recens malakológiai bibliográfia (Pótlás)” a Malakológiai Tájékoztató 10. (1991) kötetében, majd ugyancsak ez a szerzőpáros készítette el az időközben megjelent újabb dolgozatok bibliográfiáját: „Magyarországi pleisztocén, quarter és recens malakológiai bibliográfia 1980-1990.” (sic!) címmel a Malakológiai Tájékoztató 11. (1992) kötetében. A fentiekben megjelent munkák óta eltelt közel negyed század ismét felvetette az igényt, hogy készüljön egy új, részben eltérő szerkesztési elveket követő munka, melynek céljai közt szerepel, hogy egyrészt összevonja a MERÉNYI, PERJÉSI & HORVÁTH féle össze- állításokat, másrészt az anyagot 2004-ig bezáróan kiegészítse az időközben megjelent dol- gozatokkal.
