FAX: (506) 207-3280. E-mail: [email protected] 3Escuela de Biología, Universidad de Costa Rica, 2060 San José, Costa Rica. (Received 14-VII-2000. Corrected 23-III-2001. Accepted 11-V-2001) Abstract: The mollusks in Manuel Antonio National Park on the central section of the Pacific coast of Costa Rica were studied along thirty-six transects done perpendicular to the shore, and by random sampling of subtidal environments, beaches and mangrove forest. Seventy-four species of mollusks belonging to three classes and 40 families were found: 63 gastropods, 9 bivalves and 2 chitons, during this study in 1995. Of these, 16 species were found only as empty shells (11) or inhabited by hermit crabs (5). Forty-eight species were found at only one locality. Half the species were found at one site, Puerto Escondido. The most diverse habitat was the low rocky intertidal zone. Nodilittorina modesta was present in 34 transects and Nerita scabricosta in 30. Nodilittorina aspera had the highest density of mollusks in the transects. Only four transects did not clustered into the four main groups. The species composition of one cluster of transects is associated with a boulder substrate, while another cluster of transects associates with site. -
PREY PREFERENCE and PREDATORY BEHAVIOR of Aurantilaria Aurantiaca (MOLLUSCA: GASTROPODA: FASCIOLARIIDAE)
PREY PREFERENCE AND PREDATORY BEHAVIOR OF Aurantilaria aurantiaca (MOLLUSCA: GASTROPODA: FASCIOLARIIDAE) Preferência de presa e comportamento predatório de Aurantilaria aurantiaca (MOLLUSCA: GASTROPODA: Arquivos de Ciências do Mar FASCIOLARIIDAE) Carlos Augusto Oliveira de Meirelles1,3, Helena Matthews-Cascon1,2 RESUMO A família Fasciolariidae é formada por espécies carnívoras que usualmente predam outros gastrópodes e bivalves. Geralmente utilizam como estratégia de predação, o lascamento de concha, meio pelo qual o predador pode alcançar as partes moles da presa. Os objetivos desse trabalho foram determinar as possíveis presas de Aurantilaria aurantiaca da Praia do Pacheco (Caucaia-CE-Brasil) e a sua preferência alimentar em condições de laboratório. As presas observadas foram os gastrópodes Pisania pusio, Tegula viridula e Stramonita brasiliensis. O experimento de preferência de presa foi executado acondicionando um predador em um aquário de 5 litros com um indivíduo de cada presa, sendo observado durante 60 dias (replicado 10 vezes). Para a determinação do tempo de manipulação da presa, um predador foi acondicionado em uma caixa plástica mergulhada em um aquário de 80 litros juntamente com uma espécie de presa, sendo anotado o tempo de predação por duas 2 horas, durante 30 dias (replicado 10 vezes para cada espécie de presa). Aurantilaria aurantiaca mostrou preferência por Stramonita brasiliensis, o qual teve o mais baixo tempo de manipulação da presa. Pisania pusio e Tegula viridula não apresentaram resultados estatisticamente significativos (p = 0.7235 e 0.2499, respectivamente). O comportamento predatório mostrou 2 estratégias: penetração direta da probóscide e sufocamento. Não houve registro de lascamento de concha. Aurantilaria aurantiaca apresentou-se como um predador generalista, onde a variação de tempo de manipulação da presa mostrou que o predador passou por um processo de aprendizagem. -

Thirteen samplings were performed at 8 stations in 2012 (seven samplings), 2014 (four), and 2015 (two). The collection of the mollusks in each station was done at a maximum depth of 5 m for 1 h by 3 divers. A total of 2086 specimens belonging to 89 species, 36 families, and 3 classes of mollusks were identified. Gastropoda was the most diverse and abundant group. Calyptreaidae, Columbellidae, and Muricidae had >5 species, but Pisaniidae, Conidae, Fasciolariidae, and Muricidae had ≥15% of relative abundance. Most species found in this study were recorded in the rocky intertidal zone, and 10 species were restricted to the rocky subtidal zone. The affinity in the composition of the species during 2012–2015 had a low similarity (25%), but we could differentiate natural and anthropogenic effects according to malacological composition. -
CONE SHELLS - CONIDAE MNHN Koumac 2018
Living Seashells of the Tropical Indo-Pacific Photographic guide with 1500+ species covered Andrey Ryanskiy INTRODUCTION, COPYRIGHT, ACKNOWLEDGMENTS INTRODUCTION Seashell or sea shells are the hard exoskeleton of mollusks such as snails, clams, chitons. For most people, acquaintance with mollusks began with empty shells. These shells often delight the eye with a variety of shapes and colors. Conchology studies the mollusk shells and this science dates back to the 17th century. However, modern science - malacology is the study of mollusks as whole organisms. Today more and more people are interacting with ocean - divers, snorkelers, beach goers - all of them often find in the seas not empty shells, but live mollusks - living shells, whose appearance is significantly different from museum specimens. This book serves as a tool for identifying such animals. The book covers the region from the Red Sea to Hawaii, Marshall Islands and Guam. Inside the book: • Photographs of 1500+ species, including one hundred cowries (Cypraeidae) and more than one hundred twenty allied cowries (Ovulidae) of the region; • Live photo of hundreds of species have never before appeared in field guides or popular books; • Convenient pictorial guide at the beginning and index at the end of the book ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The significant part of photographs in this book were made by Jeanette Johnson and Scott Johnson during the decades of diving and exploring the beautiful reefs of Indo-Pacific from Indonesia and Philippines to Hawaii and Solomons. They provided to readers not only the great photos but also in-depth knowledge of the fascinating world of living seashells. Sincere thanks to Philippe Bouchet, National Museum of Natural History (Paris), for inviting the author to participate in the La Planete Revisitee expedition program and permission to use some of the NMNH photos. -

The want of a complete and consistent list of the principal subdivisions of the mollusks having been experienced for some time, and such a list being at length imperatively needed for the arrangement of the collections of the Smithsonian Institution, the present arrangement has been compiled for that purpose. It must be considered simply as a provisional list, embracing the results of the most recent and approved researches into the systematic relations and anatomy of those animals, but from which innova- tions and peculiar views, affecting materially the classification, have been excluded. -

Insgesamt können 24 Arten nachgewiesen werden. Tonnoidea weisen generell eine ungewöhnliche weite geographische und stratigraphische Verbreitung auf, wie sie bei anderen Gastropoden unbekannt ist. Dementsprechend sind die paratethyalen Arten meist auch in der mediterranen und der atlantischen Bioprovinz vertreten. Einige Arten treten zuerst im mittleren Miozän der Paratethys auf.

Reproductive Biology of the Tropical-Subtropical Seagrasses of the Southeastern United States Mark D. Moffler and Michael J. Durako Florida Department of Natural Resources Bureau of Marine Research 100 Eighth Ave., S.E. St. Petersburg, Florida 33701 ABSTRACT Studiesof reproductivebiology in seagrassesof the southeasternUnited States have addressed descriptive morphologyand anatomy,reproductive physiology, seed occurrence,and germination.Halodale wrightii Aschers.,Halophila engelmannii Aschers., Syringodium filiforme Kutz., and Thalassiatestudiaum Banks ex Konig are dioecious;Halophila decipiens Ostenfeld and Ruppiamaritima L. are monoecious.In Halophila johrtsoaii Eiseman, only fernale flowers are known. With the exception of R, maritima, which has hydroanemophilouspollination, these species have hydrophilous pollination. Recent reproductive-ecology studiessuggest that reproductivepatterns are due to phenoplasticresponses and/or geneticadaptation to physico-chemicalenvironmental conditions. Laboratory and field investigationsindicate that reproductive periodicityis temperaturecontrolled, but proposedmechanisms are disputed.Water temperature appears to influencefloral developmentand maybe importantin determiningsubsequent flower densities and fruit/seed production.Flowering under continuouslight in vitro suggeststhat photoperiodplays a limitedrole in floral induction.Flower expression and anthesis,however, may be influencedby photoperiod.Floral morpho- ontogeneticstudies of T. testudinumfield populationsdemonstrated the presenceof early-stageinflorescences -
