Microchiroptera: Mystacinidae) from Australia, with a Revised Diagnosis of the Genus
New Miocene Icarops material (Microchiroptera: Mystacinidae) from Australia, with a revised diagnosis of the genus SUZANNE HAND, MICHAEL ARCHER & HENK GODTHELP HAND, S.l., ARCHER, M. & GODTHELP, H., 2001:12:20. New Miocene lcarops material (Microchiroptera: Mystacinidae) from Australia, with a revised diagnosis of the genus. Memoirs of the Association of Australasian Palaeontologists 25,139-146. ISSN 0810-8889 New fossil material referable to Icarops paradox Hand et al., 1998 is described from the early Miocene Judith's Horizontalis Site in the Riversleigh World Heritage Property of northwestern Queensland. Fused dentaries contain the partial lower dentition of I. paradox. The diagnosis of the genus Icarops is revised. The new material confirms the identity of Icarops species as mystacinids and enablesre-examination of interrelationships between extinct and extant members of this Gondwanan bat family. S.J: Hand, M.

Marine Snails of the Genus Phorcus: Biology and Ecology of Sentinel Species for Human Impacts on the Rocky Shores
DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.71614 Provisional chapter Chapter 7 Marine Snails of the Genus Phorcus: Biology and MarineEcology Snails of Sentinel of the Species Genus Phorcusfor Human: Biology Impacts and on the EcologyRocky Shores of Sentinel Species for Human Impacts on the Rocky Shores Ricardo Sousa, João Delgado, José A. González, Mafalda Freitas and Paulo Henriques Ricardo Sousa, João Delgado, José A. González, MafaldaAdditional information Freitas and is available Paulo at Henriques the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.71614 Abstract In this review article, the authors explore a broad spectrum of subjects associated to marine snails of the genus Phorcus Risso, 1826, namely, distribution, habitat, behaviour and life history traits, and the consequences of anthropological impacts, such as fisheries, pollution, and climate changes, on these species. This work focuses on discussing the ecological importance of these sentinel species and their interactions in the rocky shores as well as the anthropogenic impacts to which they are subjected. One of the main anthro- pogenic stresses that affect Phorcus species is fisheries. Topshell harvesting is recognized as occurring since prehistoric times and has evolved through time from a subsistence to commercial exploitation level. However, there is a gap of information concerning these species that hinders stock assessment and management required for sustainable exploi- tation. Additionally, these keystone species are useful tools in assessing coastal habitat quality, due to their eco-biological features. Contamination of these species with heavy metals carries serious risk for animal and human health due to their potential of biomag- nification in the food chain. -
Mystacina Tuberculata) Through a Pest Control Operation Using the Toxin Pindone in Bait Stations

O’Donnell1*, Hannah Edmonds2 and Joanne M. Hoare1 1Research and Development Group, Department of Conservation, PO Box 13049, Christchurch 8141, New Zealand 2Department of Conservation, PO Box 29, Te Anau 9640, New Zealand *Author for correspondence (Email: [email protected]) Published on-line: 21 March 2011 Abstract: Introduced mammalian predators are a major threat to New Zealand’s wildlife, including bats. Controlling these predators using traps and poison baits can reduce their impact on bat populations. However, lesser short-tailed bats (Mystacina tuberculata) are potentially susceptible to toxins used for pest control in New Zealand forests because of their broad diet and habit of feeding on the ground. Therefore, the risk of secondary poisoning should always be assessed before new toxins are used in areas inhabited by lesser short- tailed bats. We measured survivorship of a sample of lesser short-tailed bats monitored before, during and after deployment of the first-generation anticoagulant toxin pindone in the Eglinton Valley, Fiordland, during late winter and summer 2009−2010. Pindone-laced cereal baits were deployed in bait stations from September to late December 2009 in an effort to control rats (Rattus spp.). Communal roosts of the one lesser short-tailed bat colony in the valley are located entirely within or immediately adjacent to the area poisoned. -

From the Cape Verde Islands
© Sociedad Española de Malacología Iberus, 30 (2): 89-96, 2012 A new species of Phorcus (Vetigastropoda, Trochidae) from the Cape Verde Islands Una nueva especie de Phorcus (Vetigastropoda, Trochidae) del archi- piélago de Cabo Verde José TEMPLADO* and Emilio ROLÁN** Recibido el 13-III-2012. Aceptado el 24-V-2012 ABSTRACT A recent molecular study has shown that the well-known intertidal Cape Verde topshell, previ- ously identified as Osilinus punctulatus, O. tamsi or O. atratus, is a distinct undescribed species (DONALD,PRESTON,WILLIAMS,REID,WINNER,ALVAREZ,BUGE,HAWKINS,TEMPLADO &SPENCER, 2012). Therefore we describe it here as new for science and compare it to the closest species. RESUMEN Un estudio reciente basado en técnicas moleculares ha demostrado que la especie intermareal de las islas de Cabo Verde previamente identificada como Osilinus punctulatus, O. tamsi u O. atratus, es en realidad una especie diferente no descrita (DONALD,PRESTON,WILLIAMS, REID,WINNER,ALVAREZ,BUGE,HAWKINS,TEMPLADO &SPENCER, 2012). Por lo tanto, la des- cribimos aquí como nueva para la ciencia y la comparamos con las especies más próximas.

How Many Species of Mammals Are There?

While the number of recognized species in the class Mammalia has increased through time, tabulation of those increases has relied on the sporadic release of revisionary compendia like the Mammal Species of the World (MSW) series. Here, we present the Mammal Diversity Database (MDD), a digital, publically accessible, and updateable list of all mammalian species, now available online: https://mammaldiversity.org. The MDD will continue to be updated as manuscripts describing new species and higher taxonomic changes are released. Starting from the baseline of the 3rd edition of MSW (MSW3), we performed a review of taxonomic changes published since 2004 and digitally linked species names to their original descriptions and subsequent revisionary articles in an interactive, hierarchical database. We found 6,495 species of currently recognized mammals (96 recently extinct, 6,399 extant), compared to 5,416 in MSW3 (75 extinct, 5,341 extant)—an increase of 1,079 species in about 13 years, including 11 species newly described as having gone extinct in the last 500 years. -

Common Topshells: an Introduction to the Biology of Osilinus Lineatus with Notes on Other Species in the Genus
Field Studies, 10, (2001) 115 - 160 COMMON TOPSHELLS: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BIOLOGY OF OSILINUS LINEATUS WITH NOTES ON OTHER SPECIES IN THE GENUS J. H. CROTHERS Egypt Cottage, Fair Cross, Washford, Watchet. Somerset TA23 0LY ABSTRACT This review concentrates on those features of common topshell biology that are amenable to field study – distribution, abundance, population structure, response to environmental stimuli etc. It was written to help students plan simple but interesting projects by providing the essential background information. As the title suggests, it is concerned primarily with the northern species but includes sufficient information on the others to stimulate interest during Mediterranean and Macaronesian holidays. INTRODUCTION Many students of Biology are required to carry out some form of individual project as an integral part of their course. Despite reminders that assessment is usually directed at the manner in which the work was planned and executed (and not on the scientific interest of the result), the more able candidates often insist on choosing an ‘interesting’ topic - in an ‘interesting place’. For many of us, that ‘interesting place’ means a rocky sea shore. In that habitat, marine snails offer the widest range of possibilities for projects. A ‘Good Project Species*’ must (a) be easy to find, (b) be easy to identify, (c) show striking differences in some measurable feature (e.g., abundance, size, age, shape) that can be related to a measurable environmental factor and (d) have an adequate background literature, sufficient to allow the student both to predict patterns and also to interpret any results derived from the investigation. Osilinus Philippi, 1847 is a genus of herbivorous gastropod molluscs (snails) of rocky sea shores in the North-East Atlantic.
