Annotated Catalog of Malacological Meetings, Including Symposia and Workshops in Malacology Eugene V Revision: January 29, 2017 Annotated Catalog of Malacological Meetings, Including Symposia and Workshops in Malacology Eugene V. Coan Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, 2559 Puesta del Sol Road, Santa Barbara, California 93105, U.S.A.; [email protected] & Alan R. Kabat Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University; [email protected] ABSTRACT As a much needed bibliographic tool, an annotated catalog is given of the symposia and workshops that have been held at malacological and generalist meetings over the past eight decades, together with their resulting publications. Particularly detailed emphasis is given to the meetings of Unitas Malacologica, the American Malacological Union/Society, and the Western Society of Malacologists. INTRODUCTION This paper catalogues the symposia and workshops that have taken place at malacological meetings over the last eight decades, as well as those that have occurred at other venues. The publications that resulted from these meetings and symposia are listed, chiefly because this information can be difficult for researchers to obtain. This catalog is not complete, and it emphasizes natural history and systematics. We have not endeavored to document every malacological meeting, particularly those before 1930, and those of European and Asian national societies that do not seem to have had symposia or have resulted in publications. Moreover, we have not thoroughly covered meetings on shellfisheries, mariculture, agricultural or other pests, and mollusk-borne diseases, nor those of shell-collectors’ groups. These organizations may want to provide their own listings for the historical record. In 1996, when this paper was originally published (Coan & Kabat, 1996), we did not include symposia, meetings, and workshops relating to the Cephalopoda, other than those occurring at Unitas Malacologica, the American Malacological Society, or other meetings already covered in detail as we did not have sufficient information about them. At that time, Frederick G. Hochberg of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History informed us that he intended to publish a companion paper on the cephalopod meetings. During the ensuing years, we have attempted to obtain the relevant data, which we have incorporated into successive updated posted versions of this paper. Subsequently, Hochberg & Hatfield (2003) published a 1 compilation of information on cephalopod meetings, based partly on their own records and partly on the updated online versions of our paper. We, in turn, have now incorporated additional data from Hochberg & Hatfield (2003) into this list, but we have not attempted to include all meetings related to squid fisheries. Our catalogue is most comprehensive and detailed for the meetings of the Unitas Malacologica, the American Malacological Society (AMS) (formerly the American Malacological Union – AMU), and the Western Society of Malacologists (WSM). These three groups are listed first, followed by other groups in alphabetical order, and lastly by symposia and workshops not part of a series of malacological group meetings. In 1948, the American Malacological Union established a Pacific Division, which began to meet each year in the western United States. In 1968, this division was replaced by an independent Western Society of Malacologists; that year, the AMU-PD and WSM meetings were held concurrently. Commencing with the 1987 meeting, AMU abstracts were no longer published separately and were only issued at the meeting. Commencing with the 1999 meeting, the AMU/AMS abstracts are available on the AMS website, www.malacological.org. However, at joint AMS- WSM meetings, the WSM Annual Report also contains abstracts of many AMS papers. We would greatly appreciate additional information on previous and future meetings and symposia to update this publication for eventual addenda. One benefit of this catalog is to draw attention to topics neglected at past meetings. We define a symposium as a pre-planned program of related papers, most or all invited. This is as opposed to a set of contributed, non-solicited papers grouped by topic in formulating a meeting agenda. Symposia generally have one or more organizers; related-paper sessions have only a chair. Obviously, there is not a sharp distinction between these categories. The symposia listed here commence with one in 1935, and include at least two that had only four participants. Workshops are generally several-day-long study sessions, often including field or laboratory work, and frequently resulting in special publications. In the following catalog, the year of the meeting is given, followed by the congress or meeting number (if applicable), the location and dates of the meeting, the sponsoring organization(s) and meeting organizers (if applicable), and the resulting publication(s), first for the meeting as a whole, then for any symposia or workshop publications. The symposia publications are full-length papers or proceedings unless specifically indicated as only abstracts or a report. Proceedings are assumed to be edited by the meeting organizer unless otherwise indicated. Meeting abstracts are generally not listed if there was a subsequently issued proceedings volume. The documented dates of publication of these works have been included when known. The dates for the American Malacological Bulletin and its predecessors are taken from Coan & Kabat (2007); those for Malacologia are taken from Coan (2008).

The current understanding of metazoan relationships is largely based on analyses of 18S ribosomal RNA ('18S rRNA'). In this paper, DNA sequence data from 2 segments of 28S rRNA, cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, histone H3, and U2 small nuclear (sn)RNA were compiled and used to test phylogenetic relationships among the Mollusca, Annelida, and Arthropoda. The 18S rRNA data were included in the compilations for comparison. The analyses were especially directed at testing the implication of the Eutrochozoan hypothesis that the Annelida and Mollusca are more closely related than are the Annelida and Arthropoda and at determining whether, in contrast to analyses using only 18S rRNA, the addition of data from other genes would reveal these phyla to be monophyletic. New data and available sequences were compiled for up to 49 molluscs, 33 annelids, 22 arthropods, and 27 taxa from 15 other metazoan phyla. The Porifera, Ctenophora, and Cnidaria were used as the outgroup. The Annelida, Mollusca, Entoprocta, Phoronida, Nemertea, Brachiopoda, and Sipuncula (i.e., all studied Lophotrochozoa except for the Bryozoa) formed a monophyletic clade with maximum likelihood bootstrap support of 81% and a Bayesian posterior probability of 0.66 when all data were analyzed.

Mollusc-feeding biology is highly diverse, including omnivorous grazers, herbivores, carnivorous scavengers and predators, and even some parasitic species. Consequently, their digestive system presents many adaptive variations. The digestive tract starting in the mouth consists of the buccal cavity, oesophagus, stomach and intestine ending in the anus. Several types of glands are associated, namely, oral and salivary glands, oesophageal glands, digestive gland and, in some cases, anal glands. The digestive gland is the largest and more important for digestion and nutrient absorption. The digestive system of each of the eight extant molluscan classes is reviewed, highlighting the most recent data available on histological, ultrastructural and functional aspects of tissues and cells involved in nutrient absorption, intracellular and extracellular digestion, with emphasis on glandular tissues. Keywords Digestive tract . Digestive gland . Salivary glands . Mollusca . Ultrastructure Introduction and visceral mass. The visceral mass is dorsally covered by the mantle tissues that frequently extend outwards to create a The phylum Mollusca is considered the second largest among flap around the body forming a space in between known as metazoans, surpassed only by the arthropods in a number of pallial or mantle cavity.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT – The coast of the Western Australian Kimberley boasts an archipelago that comprises several hundred large islands and thousands much smaller. While the non–marine gastropod fauna of the Kimberley mainland has been surveyed to some extent, the fauna of these islands had never been comprehensively surveyed and only anecdotal and unsystematic data on species occurrences have been available. During the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation’s Kimberley Island Survey, 2008–2010, 22 of the largest islands were surveyed. Altogether, 17 species of terrestrial non–camaenid snails were found on these islands. This corresponds to about 75% of all terrestrial, non–camaenid gastropods known from the entire Kimberley region. In addition, four species of pulmonate freshwater snails were found to occur on one or more of four of these islands. Individual islands harbour up to 15, with an average of eight, species each. Species diversity was found to be higher in the wetter parts of the region.

  • Symposia and Workshops in Malacology
    Revision: February 2021 Annotated Catalog of Malacological Meetings, Including Symposia and Workshops in Malacology Eugene V. Coan Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, 2559 Puesta del Sol Road, Santa Barbara, California 93105, U.S.A.; [email protected] & Alan R. Kabat Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University; [email protected] ABSTRACT As a much needed bibliographic tool, an annotated catalog is given of the symposia and workshops that have been held at malacological and generalist meetings over the past eight decades, together with their resulting publications. Particularly detailed emphasis is given to the meetings of Unitas Malacologica, the American Malacological Union/Society, and the Western Society of Malacologists. INTRODUCTION This paper catalogues the symposia and workshops that have taken place at malacological meetings over the last eight decades, as well as those that have occurred at other venues. The publications that resulted from these meetings and symposia are listed, chiefly because this information can be difficult for researchers to obtain. This catalog is not complete, and it emphasizes natural history and systematics. We have not endeavored to document every malacological meeting, particularly those before 1930, and those of European and Asian national societies that do not seem to have had symposia or have resulted in publications. Moreover, we have not thoroughly covered meetings on shellfisheries, mariculture, agricultural or other pests, and mollusk-borne diseases, nor those of shell-collectors’ groups. These organizations may want to provide their own listings for the historical record. In 1996, when this paper was originally published (Coan & Kabat, 1996), we did not include symposia, meetings, and workshops relating to the Cephalopoda, other than those occurring at Unitas Malacologica, the American Malacological Society, or other meetings already covered in detail as we did not have sufficient information about them.
