Understanding the effects of estuarine acidification on different components of an ecological community is an important step in identifying indicators of ecosystem degradation. This study examined the impact of estuarine acidification, as a result of acid sulfate soil runoff, on wild Sydney rock oysters Saccostrea glomerata and their associated epifaunal communities in estuaries experiencing acid sulfate soil runoff in New South Wales, Australia. -

Four New Pseudococculinid Limpets Collected by the Deep-Submersible Alvin in the Eastern Pacific By

McLEAN Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, 900 Exposition Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90007, USA Abstract. Four new species of Pseudococculinidae collected with the deep-submersible Alvin are described. One species represents a new monotypic genus, Punctabyssia, and two represent new sub genera: Dictyabyssia (of Caymanabyssia Moskalev, 1976) and Gordabyssia (of Amphiplica Haszprunar 1988). New species are: Punctabyssia tibbettsi and Caymanabyssia (Dictyabyssia) fosteri, both from the same piece of wood at abyssal depths on the East Pacific Rise Axis near 12°N, and two from abyssal depths on the Gorda Ridge off northern California, Caymanabyssia (Caymanabyssia) vandoverae and Amphiplica (Gordabyssia) gordensis. The latter is the first member of the family to be recovered from sulfide crust in the hydrothermal-vent habitat. New character states for the radula and protoconch are defined for the new genus Punctabyssia. INTRODUCTION of hydrothermal vents, and another from sulfide crust pro duced by hydrothermal vents.

Much information is available at present, on the elaborate Received in revised form 7 May 2009 architecture of the shell, regarding the various Mollusc classes. The crystallographic characterization of Accepted 10 May 2009 the different shell layers, as well as their physical and chemical properties have been the subject of several investigations. In addition, many researches have addressed the characterization of the biological Keywords: component of the shell and the role it plays in the hard exoskeleton assembly, that is, the Mollusca biomineralization process. All these topics have seen great advances in the last two or three decades, Shell microstructures expanding our knowledge on the shell properties, in terms of structure, functions and composition. This Electron microscopy Infrared spectroscopy involved the use of a range of specialized and modern techniques, integrating microscopic methods with X-ray diffraction biochemistry, molecular biology procedures and spectroscopy. However, the factors governing synthesis Electron diffraction of a specific crystalline carbonate phase in any particular layer of the shell and the interplay between organic and inorganic components during the biomineral assembly are still not widely known. This present survey deals with microstructural aspects of molluscan shells, as disclosed through use of scanning electron microscopy and related analytical methods (microanalysis, X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction and infrared spectroscopy). -
