MITRES OF INDIAN WATERS~ (Mollusca, Gastropoda : Family Mitridae_) By H. C. RAY, M.So., D. Phil., F.Z.S.I., Zoologioal Survey of India, Jabakusum House, Caloutta. (Plates I-III.) INTRODUCTION. A detailed review of the litera,ture on Mitridae shows that Indian 1Vlitres have so far been treated only casually along with other marine molluscs by several workers, namely, von Frauenfeld1, Nevill2, Smith3, Thurston4, Melvill and Abercrombie 5, Melvill and Sykes6, Melvill and Standen7, Preston8, Melvill9, Burton10, Crichton1!, Gravely 12, Horne1l13, PatiP4 and Satyamurti15• But no separate aocount dealing with the Indian Mitridae has hitherto been published in line with the regional studies as attempted by Garrett (Mitridae of Raro tonga and Polynesia)16, Dautzenberg and Bouge (Mitridae of New Caledonia)17, Dautzen berg (Mitrida,e of Netherland East Indies)18, Allan (Mitres of Australia)19 and Laseron (Mitras of New South Wa.Ies)20. The latter type of work is essentially needed for workers in this Gountry. Such a work would be still more useful, if necessary details relating to the number of species and varieties inhabiting the area, such as, tHeir up-to-date nomen clature and synonymy, classification, distinctive features of diagnosis and affinity, type loeality and range of distributioJJ, etc., are also included; this has been attempted in the present paper.

Complete Peer review History: http://www.sciencedomain.org/review-history/23116 Received 24th November 2017 th Original Research Article Accepted 6 February 2018 Published 10th February 2018 ABSTRACT I report an unexpected negative covariance occurring between two major parameters governing shell growth in marine bivalves, especially within the order Veneroida. This relationship is highlighted, here, considering a set of forty, rather common species of clams collected from French coasts. Interestingly, this negative covariance has two (geometrically related) consequences on the pattern of variation of shell shape at the inter-specific level: (i) An extended range of variation of shell elongation ‘E’ is made compatible with. (ii) A severely restricted range of variation of the ventral convexity ‘K’ of the shell contour. I suggest that: (i) The extended range of interspecific variation of the shell elongation ‘E’ results from a trend towards larger differentiation between species according to this functionally important parameter E, while, in contrast, (ii) The strongly restricted range of variation of the ventral convexity ‘K’ of the shell contour might arguably result from a common need for improved shell resistance, face to mechanical solicitations from the environment, either biotic or abiotic. -

Lecce-Monteroni 73100 Lecce RESEARCH ARTICLE ITALY Abstract 1 - Lagoons are ecotones between freshwater, marine and terrestrial biotopes, characterized by internal ecosystem heterogeneity, due to patchy spatial and temporal distribution of biotic and abiotic components, and inter-ecosystem heterogeneity, due to the various terrestrial-freshwater and freshwater-marine interfaces. 2 - Here, we carried out an analysis of environmental heterogeneity and benthic macro-invertebrate guilds in a sample of 26 Italian lagoons based on literature produced over a 25 year period.. 3 - In all, 944 taxonomic units, belonging to 13 phyla, 106 orders and 343 families, were recorded. Most species had a very restricted geographic distribution range. 75% of the macroinvertebrate taxa were observed in less than three of the twenty-six lagoons considered. 4 - Similarity among macroinvertebrate guilds in lagoon ecosystems was remarkably low, ranging from 10.5%±7.5% to 34.2%±14.4% depending on the level of taxonomic resolution. 5 - Taxonomic heterogeneity was due to both differences in species richness and to differences in species composition: width of seaward outlet, lagoon surface area and water salinity were the most important factors affecting species richness, together accounting for up to 75% of observed inter-lagoon heterogeneity, while distance between lagoons was the most significant factor affecting similarity of species composition. -

Evolutionary Patterns and Consequences of Developmental Mode in Cenozoic Gastropods from Southeastern Australia
Evolutionary patterns and consequences of developmental mode in Cenozoic gastropods from southeastern Australia Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Kirstie Rae Thomson September 2013 ABSTRACT Gastropods, like many other marine invertebrates undergo a two-stage life cycle. As the adult body plan results in narrow environmental tolerances and restricted mobility, the optimum opportunity for dispersal occurs during the initial larval phase. Dispersal is considered to be a major influence on the evolutionary trends of different larval strategies. Three larval strategies are recognised in this research: planktotrophy, lecithotrophy and direct development. Planktotrophic larvae are able to feed and swim in the plankton resulting in the greatest dispersal potential. Lecithotrophic larvae have a reduced planktic period and are considered to have more restricted dispersal. The planktic period is absent in direct developing larvae and therefore dispersal potential in these taxa is extremely limited. Each of these larval strategies can be confidently inferred from the shells of fossil gastropods and the evolutionary trends associated with modes of development can be examined using both phylogenetic and non-phylogenetic techniques. This research uses Cenozoic gastropods from southeastern Australia to examine evolutionary trends associated with larval mode. To ensure the species used in analyses are distinct and correctly assigned, a taxonomic review of the six families included in this study was undertaken. The families included in this study were the Volutidae, Nassariidae, Raphitomidae, Borsoniidae, Mangeliidae and Turridae. Phylogenetic analyses were used to examine the relationships between taxa and to determine the order and timing of changes in larval mode throughout the Cenozoic. -
SURVEY of the LITERATURE on RECENT SHELLS from the RED SEA (Second Enlarged and Revised Edition)
TRITON 24 SEPTEMBER 2011 SUPPLEMENT 1 SURVEY OF THE LITERATURE ON RECENT SHELLS FROM THE RED SEA (second enlarged and revised edition) L.J. van Gemert *) Abstract: About 2,100 references are listed in the survey. Shells are being considered here as shell-bearing mollusks of the Gastropoda, Bivalvia and Scaphopoda. And the region covered is not only the Red Sea, but also the Gulf of Aden, including Somalia, and the Suez Canal, including Lessepsian species. Literature on fossils finds, especially from the Pliocene, Pleistocene and Holocene, is listed too. Introduction My interest in recent shells from the Red Sea dates from about 1996. Since then, I have been, now and then, trying to obtain information on this subject. Recently I decide to stop gathering information in a haphazard way and to do it more properly. This resulted in a survey of approximately 1,420 references (Van Gemert, 2010). Since then, this survey has been enlarged considerably and contains now approximately 2,100 references. They are presented here. Scope In principle every publication in which mollusks are reported to live or have lived in the Red Sea should be listed in the survey. This means that besides primary literature, i.e. articles in which researchers are reporting their finds for the first time, secondary and tertiary literature, i.e. reviews, monographs, books, etc are to be included too. These publications were written not only by a wide range of authors ranging from amateur shell collectors to profesional malacologists but also by people interested in other fields. This implies that not only malacological journals and books should be considered, but also publications from other fields or disciplines, such as environmental pollution, toxicology, parasitology, aquaculture, fisheries, biochemistry, biogeography, geology, sedimentology, ecology, archaeology, Egyptology and palaeontology, in which Red Sea shells are mentioned.
