  • An Analysis of Morphological and Molecular Genetic Characters for Species Identification of Amber Snails Succinea Putris (Succineidae)
    Invertebrate Zoology, 2020, 17(1): 1–17 © INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY, 2020 An analysis of morphological and molecular genetic characters for species identification of amber snails Succinea putris (Succineidae) E.E. Prokhorova, R.R. Usmanova, G.L. Ataev Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Moyka River emb., 48, St. Petersburg, 191186 Russia. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: We analysed morphological and genotypic diversity of snails Succinea putris (L., 1758) collected in the north-west of Russia and in the Republic of Belarus. No significant morphological differences between snails from different populations were found. The studied snails were identical by the nucleotide sequence of ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region of rDNA. This means that the secondary structure of the ITS2 transcript of rDNA can be used for species identification of S. putris. Genetic variability based on mitochondrial markers was insignificant. Genetic distances between samples made up 0.002–0.021 for COI gene loci and 0.003–0.01 for CytB gene loci. We found ten haplotypes of the mitochondrial gene CytB and nine haplotypes of the mitochondrial gene COI. Phylogenetic reconstructions based on the obtained nucleotide sequences elucidated interrelationships between geographically distant populations of S. putris and confirmed the taxonomic position of this species. The genetic homogeneity of snails S. putris found in our study probably explains a low variability of morphological characters in this species.

  • Asiatic Succineidae in the Indian Museum
    ASIATIC SUCCINEIDAE IN THE INDIAN MUSEUM. By H. SRINIVASA RAO, M.A., Officiating Assistant Superintendent Zoological Survey 0/ India. ' (Plate XXVIII.) The distinguished French malacologist Morelet wrote as iollows of the Succineidae : " Les animaux sont plus varies dans cette famille que leurs coquilles, et peutre fourniraient-ils de meilleurs caracters si ce moyen d'appreciation etait a la portee des na.turaIistes." With this statement my own observations are in full agreement and in the following notes I have discussed in detail only those species in which the radula as well as the shell is available for study, or those in which the shell is very distinct. I have also included Rhort notes on oth'er species in the collection of which the anatonlY is not known. In dealing with the Indian species in the collection I have h3 d the advantage of studying some amount of rna terial from Europe and America acclunulated in the collection by workers on Indian malacology . .But the European forms are unfortunately in a Dluch worse state of confusion than the Indian nlaterialas regards their nlutual relat.ionships. Until recently the luere collection of shells and their nanling without reference to the soft parts or the habits of the animals have been the recogni!3ed methods of studying this group, with the result that our knowledge of these anilnals is as incomplete as ever before. So far as I am aware zoological literature does not furnish a single instance of a complete account of anyone European species, at least "as r~gards those systelns of organs which are most likely to be useful for taxonomic purposes.

  • Navajo Nation Species Accounts
    TOC Page |i PREFACE: NESL SPECIES ACCOUNTS Welcome to Version 4.20 of the Navajo Nation Endangered Species List Species Accounts which were produced to accompany The Navajo Nation’s February 13, 2020 revision to the Navajo Endangered Species List. The order of Accounts follows the February 2020 revision of the NESL, a copy of which is enclosed for reference. These Accounts were developed and distributed by the Navajo Natural Heritage Program, of the Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife, to help planners and biologists answer basic questions about species of concern during project planning. Your constructive comments are encouraged. Species Accounts are preliminary tools for project planning. Their target audiences are project planners, and biologists not familiar with: 1) species’ life histories and habitat in this region; and 2) Tribal and Federal protection requirements. Their purpose is to provide clear-cut information so that basic questions can be answered early in the planning process. Therefore, they should be reviewed as soon as potential species for the project area are identified. Accounts will prove useful early in the planning process, but they should be used as a quick-reference anytime. If protected species are found then more research and likely coordination with the Department will be necessary. At the end of each account is a short bibliography for planning the details of surveys, and answering more in-depth questions. For planning surveys and developing avoidance/mitigation measures, Accounts no longer distinguish between required and recommended activities; i.e. the terms ‘suggested survey method’ or ‘recommended avoidance’ are not used in V 4.20.

  • Conservation of the Kanab Ambersnail: Snail Ecology, Species Boundaries, and Adaptive Management in the Grand Canyon
    Ann Holmes, ECL290: Grand Canyon Seminar, Spring 2018 Conservation of the Kanab ambersnail: Snail ecology, species boundaries, and adaptive management in the Grand Canyon Charles Darwin knew the value of studying invertebrates. In addition to his most famous evolutionary studies of Galapagos finches, Darwin also spent much of his career researching lowly barnacles and earthworms. Invertebrates, still often described as "lower organisms," are scientifically undervalued. However, invertebrates play important ecological roles and should be considered in conservation efforts. Like Darwin's barnacles and worms, snails are not, at first glance, charismatic species. However, snails consume detritus and plants, concentrate calcium to pass up the food chain, and provide food for predators such as birds, fish, and amphibians. Many of these predators are declining or at risk of extinction. Snails living in aquatic habitats are also at risk of extinction due to climate change, pollution, and loss of freshwater habitat. Close association with water and limited mobility puts aquatic snails and other mollsucs on the front line of anthropogenic impacts to their habitat. In fact, the number of mollusc extinctions caused by humans exceeds those of birds and mammals combined (Ponder et al. 1995). An estimated 450 species of freshwater snails live in the Western US (Hurt 2004). In Utah, an intensive survey of terrestrial and aquatic snails found several species in peril (Clarke 1991). The results recommended four snails be listed as endangered and threatened; several other snails were not detected and were presumed extirpated from Utah. One of the snails recommended for listing as endangered, the Kanab ambersnail (Oxyloma haydeni kanabensis), was found at a single site (Three Lakes) that was slated for imminent development.

SAMWAYS3 1 PO Box 207, Victoria, Mahé, SEYCHELLES / University Museum of Zoology Cambridge, Department of Zoology, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EJ, U.K. [[email protected]] 2 c/o SBC, PO Box 321, Victoria, Mahé, SEYCHELLES 3 Department of Entomology and Centre for Agricultural Biodiversity, University of Stellenbosch, Private Bag X1, Matieland, 7602, SOUTH AFRICA Abstract: Approaches to invertebrate conservation in Seychelles are reviewed. These comprise taxonomic research and Red List assessments, monitoring of populations and the status of habitats, monitoring of introduced species and research into their ecology and research into the status of pollinators. Further research is required on the effects of invasive species, identification of key pollinators and the effects of climate change. Red List assessments are given for threatened Mollusca, Orthopteroidea and Lepidoptera. Keywords: invertebrate conservation, invasive species, pollinators, Red List assessments, taxonomy In 2001, a meeting was held in Washington to investigate the practicalities of developing a global strategy for invertebrate conservation. This ‘Invertebrate Scoping Workshop’ proposed 8 main actions needed for the full integration of invertebrates in the planning and conservation assessments of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) (IUCN/SSC/CBSG 2001). To date, these have only been partially implemented due at least in part to a lack of funding. The recommendations are being implemented at a local level in Seychelles and this provides an indication of the relevance of these actions to developing conservation action. Taxonomic Specialist Groups of IUCN’s Species Survival Commission cover only a small proportion of the world’s invertebrates.

Specimens were collected in GuápiJes, Limón, Costa Rica, where they reached a density of 282900 individualslha. In the field, reproduction is continuous (as is rainfall) and eggs, young and copu­ lating pairs are found mainly under moist litter. The population concentrated on plants rather than on the soil and greatly decreased after several control methods were applied. The life cycle was studied in the laboratory. The follow­ ing are mean values: 7 eggs/cluster; lA mm egg diameter; 0.25 and 0.84 mm embryo and newborn shell length, respectively; 11 days (embryo development at 24 oC); 16 mm/min locomotion speed (young).

Tentacle continues to include sections on all these groups, but Don’t wait until I put out a request for new material (usually has expanded to include news of all kinds of mollusks and via the MOLLUSCA listserver). Send me something now, and from almost every corner of the world—in this issue, from six continents! In this issue: Mollusks, especially land and freshwater mollusks, are one of IUCN and SSC News the most threatened groups of organisms on earth—look out Internet resources: lists and websites for a forthcoming article in BioScience authored by Chuck Meetings 2004-2005 Lydeard and a number of IUCN Mollusc Specialist Group News: Black carp escapes to the wild, Flying snails and the members—yet they remain in dire need of increased Xerces Society, New Conchological Society publication, New conservation effort, which of course means increased mollusk systematics book, Golden apple snail CD-ROM allocation of funding.

  • Yearly Body Size Distribution in the Terrestrial Snail Succinea Costaricana (Stylommatophora: Succineidae)
    BRENESIA 62:47-50, 2004 Yearly body size distribution in the terrestrial snail Succinea costaricana (Stylommatophora: Succineidae) Carlos Villalobos M. & Julian Monge-Nájera Biología Tropical, Universidad de Costa Rica, 2060 San José, Costa Rica. (Received: June 2, 2004) ABSTRACT. The study of neotropical snails has gained importance in recent years because some species, like Succinea costaricana, have become quarantenary or agricultural pests. We studied the yearly body size distribution of this species in an ornamental plant farm at Guápiles, Limón, Costa Rica; S. costaricana originally inhabited the tropical rain forest that was cleared to establish agricultural space in the XIX century. Fixed-time collection was done every other month in randomly selected plants and soil sections. Body size distribution (measured in the shells) indicates a capacity to reproduce year-round with a peak when pluviosity decreases in December. At this time of year the population is dominated by snails under 4 mm in shell length (longest individual: 12.06 mm). However, the yearly rainfall pattern does not correlate with shell length, width or width/length ratio: rainfall alone is not the most important factor affecting population dynamics. Eggs of S. costaricana are covered only with a mucilaginous material that might easily be infected or predated. The reproductive peak in the less humid part of the year may be an advantage if levels of predation or infection are lower. RESUMEN. Estudiamos la distribución anual del tamaño corporal del caracol terrestre Succinea costaricana. Tomamos muestras cada dos meses en un cultivo de plantas ornamentales que cubre lo que antes fue bosque lluvioso tropical en Limón, Costa Rica.
