  • Animal Creativity and Innovation
    CHAPTER 4 Cetacean Innovation Eric M. Patterson1 and Janet Mann1,2 1Department of Biology, Georgetown University, Washington DC, USA 2Department of Psychology, Georgetown University, Washington DC, USA A cloud of cigarette smoke was once deliberately released against the glass as Dolly was looking in through the viewing port. The observer was astonished when the animal immediately swam off to its mother, returned and released a mouthful of milk which engulfed her head, giving much the same effect as had the cigarette smoke. (Tayler & Saayman, 1973) Commentary on Chapter 4: Proto-c Creativity? Vlad Petre Glaveanu˘ Aalborg University, Department of Communication and Psychology, Aalborg, Denmark INTRODUCTION Dolly’s “milk smoking” is just one of many fascinating behaviors Tayler and Saayman observed in Indian Ocean bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) at the Port Elizabeth Oceanarium in South Africa in the 1970s. Not only did Dolly parade her impressive imitation abilities and potential analogous reasoning, she gave us a peek into her creative mind. But of what use would such creative behavior be in the wild? Milk smoking would certainly be maladaptive for a young, hungry calf, but could similar creative abilities be beneficial, say, for exploiting new Animal Creativity and Innovation.

Only recently have such questions been the subject of empirical work in ethology. To date, most data on animal innovation come from primates and birds. After scouring the literature for anecdotal observations of novel behavior and carefully controlling for confounding factors (e.g., phy- logeny, research effort, observation biases, etc.), Laland, Lefebvre, Reader, Sol, and colleagues have provided some of the most intriguing data on animal creativity and innovation (Lefebvre, Reader, & Sol, 2013; Lefebvre, Whittle, Lascaris, & Finkelstein, 1997; Reader & Laland, 2001).

  • Surat Thani Blue Swimming Crab Fishery Improvement Project
    Surat Thani Blue Swimming Crab Fishery Improvement Project -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Milestone 33b: Final report of bycatch research Progress report: The study of fishery biology, socio-economic and ecosystem related to the restoration of Blue Swimming Crab following Fishery improvement program (FIP) in Bandon Bay, Surat Thani province. Amornsak Sawusdee1 (1) The Center of Academic Service, Walailak University, Tha Sala, Nakhon Si Thammarat, 80160 The results of observation of catching BSC by using collapsible crab trap and floating seine. According to the observation of aquatic animal which has been caught by main BSC fishing gears; floating seine and collapsible crab trap, there were 176 kind of aquatic animals. The catch aquatic animals are shown in the table1. In this study, aquatic animal was classified into 11 Groups; Blue Swimming Crab (Portunus Pelagicus), Coelenterata (coral animals, true jellies, sea anemones, sea pens), Helcionelloida (clam, bivalve, gastropod), Cephalopoda (sqiud, octopus), Chelicerata (horseshoe crab), Hoplocari(stomatopods), Decapod (shrimp), Anomura (hermit crab), Brachyura (crab), Echinoderm (sea cucambers, sea stars, sea urchins), Vertebrata (fish). Vertebrata was the main group that was captured by BSC fishing gears, more than 70 species. Next are Helcionelloida and Helcionelloida 38 species and 29 species respectively. The sample that has been classified were photographed and attached in appendix 1. However, some species were classified as unknow which are under the classification process and reconcile. There were 89 species that were captured by floating seine. The 3 main group that were captured by this fishing gear are Vertebrata (34 species), Brachyura (20 species) Helcionelloida and Echinoderm (10 Species). On the other hand, there were 129 species that were captured by collapsible crab trap.

  • Structure and Function of the Digestive System in Molluscs
    Cell and Tissue Research (2019) 377:475–503 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00441-019-03085-9 REVIEW Structure and function of the digestive system in molluscs Alexandre Lobo-da-Cunha1,2 Received: 21 February 2019 /Accepted: 26 July 2019 /Published online: 2 September 2019 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract The phylum Mollusca is one of the largest and more diversified among metazoan phyla, comprising many thousand species living in ocean, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. 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.

  • Gastropod and Bivalve Molluscs Associated with the Seagrass Bed at Merambong Shoal, Johor Straits, Malaysia
    GASTROPOD AND BIVALVE MOLLUSCS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SEAGRASS BED AT MERAMBONG SHOAL, JOHOR STRAITS, MALAYSIA Gastropod and Bivalve Molluscs Associated with the Seagrass Bed at Merambong Shoal, Johor Straits, Malaysia Zaidi Che Cob1, Aziz Arshad2, Wan-Lotfi Wan Muda1 & Mazlan Abd. Ghaffar1 1 Marine Ecosystem Research Center (EKOMAR), School of Environmental and Natural Resource Science, Faculty of Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia 2Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia ABSTRACT Seagrass beds are important marine ecosystems that have high productivity and support a large number of marine animals. Surveys on mollusc fauna were conducted from November 2005 to January 2006, using both transect and quadrat methods. The seagrass bed ecosystem of the Merambong Shoal supports a high density of bivalves and gastropod molluscs. A total of 119 bivalves and 131 gastropods were sampled, with combined densities ranging from 0.49 – 1.39 ind/m2. Among the bivalves, the pen shell (Pinnidae) and the venus clams (Veneridae) were the most abundant and important groups. Within the gastropods, conch snails (Strombidae) were the most important, contributing more than 50% of all gastropods sampled. The Shannon-Weiner diversity indices were high, ranging from 2.17 to 2.75 for bivalves and from 1.77 to 2.52 for gastropods. The evenness index ranged from 0.75 to 0.87 for bivalves and from 0.57 to 0.64 for gastropods, while the richness index ranged from 3.21 to 4.87 for bivalves and from 2.57 to 4.59 for gastropods.

  • Page 2______The Shell-O-Gram______Vol 56 No
    July - August, 2015_____________________________________________________________Volume 56 No. 4 Programs There will be no Jacksonville Shell Club (JSC) meeting this July. We hope members will be out in the field collecting and enjoying themselves in the long summer days. Let's gather some "Marine Observations" and share them at the August meeting. On Thursday, August 27, the JSC will convene at the usual time (7:00 PM) and place (Southeast Branch, Jacksonville Public Library <http://jpl.coj.net/lib/branches/se.html>). The shell-of-the-month will be presented by Harry Lee. His choice will be made at the annual Conchologists of America (COA) convention in Weston, FL (July 12-18). It will be the most spectacular shell he observes at the scientific programs, oral and silent auctions, bourse, on the field trips, and in more impromptu encounters. Rick Edwards, who is also planning to attend, will do the photography. The main program will be given by Charlotte Thorpe, who is fresh back from a diving expedition to the Dominican Republic. Likely there'll be several living mollusks caught in natural poses by Char's well-honed underwater photographic skills. President’s Message Dear JSC Members, There is not much activity to mention for the club over the next couple of months, we are currently cruising in idle mode. Summer is upon us and for all of us currently living in Florida, the past few days have already brought on that incredibly warm and humid feeling. With that said, I am dreaming of shelling on the beach for some marine snails on a warm sunny day, shelling in the bush for some land snails after a good rain, or cruising down a nice cool river or creek with my snorkeling gear looking for some aquatics! I'd probably enjoy self propelling a jet back through the breeze, but it seems there have been no flying snails discovered as of yet, so I'll pass on that adventure for the time being.
