Jackson, American Museum of Natural History, New York, NY, and approved December 11, 2020 (received for review April 7, 2020) Predator specialization has often been considered an evolutionary makes them an ideal system to study the relationships between “dead end” due to the constraints associated with the evolution of functional traits and prey specialization. Like a head of coral, a si- morphological and functional optimizations throughout the organ- phonophore is a colony bearing many feeding polyps (Fig. 1). Each ism. However, in some predators, these changes are localized in sep- feeding polyp has a single tentacle, which branches into a series of arate structures dedicated to prey capture. One of the most extreme tentilla. Like other cnidarians, siphonophores capture prey with cases of this modularity can be observed in siphonophores, a clade of nematocysts, harpoon-like stinging capsules borne within special- pelagic colonial cnidarians that use tentilla (tentacle side branches ized cells known as cnidocytes. Unlike the prey-capture apparatus of armed with nematocysts) exclusively for prey capture. Here we study most other cnidarians, siphonophore tentacles carry their cnidocytes how siphonophore specialists and generalists evolve, and what mor- in extremely complex and organized batteries (3), which are located phological changes are associated with these transitions. -

A New Variety of Pelagic Janthinid-Gastropoda from Libyan Coast
International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 7, Issue 3, March-2016 ISSN 2229-5518 1314 A New Variety of Pelagic Janthinid-Gastropoda from Libyan Coast Ahmed M. Muftah1 and Belkasim Khameiss2 1University of Benghazi, Faculty of Science, Department of Earth Sciences, Benghazi, Libya. 2Department of Geological Sciences Ball State University Fine Arts Building (AR), room 117 Muncie, IN 47306. [email protected] Abstract This is the first record of the pelagic purple janthinid gastropoda from Libyan East coast, it is introduced herein as a new variety Janthina janthina var. minuta. It was found in two spots along Tolmeitha and Susa beaches. This occurrence confirms its Mediterranean affinity. The rarity of these snails along the Libyan coast is indicative to their pelagic mode of life which can be explained by the presence of the air bubbles for floating. However, the ink-like secretion is responsible to shell coloration and is used as a defense mechanism similar to that of Octopus and Sepia cephalopods. Introduction This study based on the collected sea shells from the Northeast coast of Libya in Cyrenaica region (Fig. 1). There are few studies on marine mollusks of Libya. So far the most important manual is that of Abdulsamad et al., (in press) on sea shells of Bengahzi beaches, it contains 103 color photographsIJSER accompanied with text in both Arabic and English. Others are unpublished student report. A study on Land snails from Northeast Libya in particular Cyrenaica, however, is published recently by Muftah and Al-Tarbagiah, (2013). These samples are measured by Caliper. The collected specimens are deposited in the paleontological collections of the Department of the Earth Sciences, in Benghazi University. -

PREFACE The object of the present Work is to explain the manner in which the Collection of Mollusca and their shells is arranged in the British Museum, and especially to give a short account of the chief characters, derived from the animals, by which they are dis- tributed, and which it is impossible to exhibit in the Collection. The figures referred to after the names of the species, under the genera, are those given in " The Figures of Molluscous Animals, for the Use of Students, by Maria Emma Gray, 3 vols. 8vo, 1850 to 1854 ;" or when the species has been figured since the appear- ance of that work, in the original authority quoted. The concluding Part is in hand, and it is hoped will shortly appear. JOHN EDWARD GRAY. Dec. 10, 1856. ERRATA AND CORRIGENDA. Page 43.
