Beddomeia Trochiformis Ponder & Clark, 1993
Beddomeia trochiformis Ponder & Clark, 1993 Diagnostic features Species in the B. tasmanica group have small shells (length 1.2-2.8 mm) with a depressed spire and open umbilicus. The penis is simple. Beddomeia trochiformis (adult size 2.2-2.7 mm) Distribution of Beddomeia trochiformis. This species differs from other members of the group in possessing a radula with a moderately indented dorsal edge of the central teeth, the latter also with teeth steeper outer edges (40°, compared with 45°) and ratio of lateral teeth cutting edge to shaft 0.5 (~0.43 in other taxa); mantle cavity with fewer ctenidial filaments (15-19); female genital system with initial U-bend of coiled oviduct orientated obliquely backwards (not dorso-ventral).

Molecular Phylogeny and Biogeography of Spring-Associated Hydrobiid Snails of the Great Artesian Basin, Australia

Prominent and endangered components of the GAB spring community are snails of the family Hydro- biidae. This paper examines the evolutionary relationships of the entire hydrobiid fauna associated with the GAB, and includes appropriate non-GAB species to place the GAB fauna in a broader phylogenetic context. The Queensland genus Jardinella is a focus of this paper, providing a Wne scale examination of relationships between spring supergroups in the northeastern regions of the GAB. Maximum parsimony and Bayesian analyses performed on 16S, CO1, and combined sequence data from 40 hydrobiid taxa found four major clades of Australian taxa. The analysis revealed that at least three separate colonization events of the GAB spring fauna have occurred. Two of these are represented by considerable radiations, (1) Jardinella to the north and east and (2) Caldicochlea, Fonscochlea, and possibly Trochidrobia in South Australia.

Hydrobiid Snail (Great Lake)
Threatened Species Link www.tas.gov.au SPECIES MANAGEMENT PROFILE Beddomeia tumida Hydrobiid Snail (Great Lake) Group: Mollusca (shellfish), Gastropoda (snails and slugs), Hypsogastropoda, Tateidae Status: Threatened Species Protection Act 1995: endangered Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999: Not listed Endemic Endemic in Tasmania and restricted Status: Beddomeia tumida is a tiny (3-4 mm) freshwater snail known to occur only in the Great Lake, in north-central Tasmania. The species has a very restricted range, recorded from only six areas across the lake. The principal threats to B. tumida are associated with impoundment management, agricultural clearing and forestry. B. tumida may also be impacted by competition with and displacement by the exotic snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum (New Zealand hydrobiid). The principal management objectives for B. tumida include preventing the loss or degradation of habitat supporting known populations, and increasing public awareness of the species. Key Points Important: Is this species in your area? Do you need a permit? Ensure you’ve covered all the issues by checking the Planning Ahead page. Important: Different threatened species may have different requirements. For any activity you are considering, read the Activity Advice pages for background information and important advice about managing around the needs of multiple threatened species. Habitat 'Habitat’ refers to both known habitat for the species (i.e. in or near habitat where the species has been recorded) and potential habitat (i.e. areas of habitat with appropriate characteristics for the species and within the species' potential range which have not yet been adequately surveyed). If in doubt about whether a site represents potential habitat for this species, contact the Threatened Species Section for further advice.

Karen Richards Date Statement of Authority of Access This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying is permitted in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Karen Richards Date iii iv Abstract Narrow-range endemic species are thought to have naturally small distributions, limited by size, mobility, dispersal capabilities, specific habitat requirements and biogeographical boundaries. Many narrow range taxa are poorly reserved and most threatened freshwater invertebrate taxa in Tasmania, including the majority of Beddomeia species, fall into this category. Management of such taxa is reliant on informed ecological data which is not currently available for many freshwater invertebrates. To address the need for more detailed information on one such group of aquatic invertebrates, this study obtained spatial and ecological data for a number of Beddomeia species and identified habitat variables that together explained the snail distributions. A combination of geology, catchment size, forest type, flow and disturbance were identified as significant explanatory variables of Beddomeia presence within a river catchment.

The species that comprise a morphostatic radiation in southeastern Australia of the hydrobiid genus Austropyrgus Cotton are described using shell, opercular, anatomical and radular characters, and the genus is redefined. The previously described taxa have been included under several generic names, including Fluvidona (now a separate genus), Rivisessor, Pupiphryx and Angrobia, which are now treated as synonyms of Austropyrgus.
