The registration desk will be open Thurs 1600-2000, Fri-Sat 0730-1800, and Sun 0800-1000. Registration packets will be available at the registration table for those members who have pre-registered. Those who have not pre-registered but wish to attend the meeting can pay for membership and registration (with a $20 late fee) at the registration table. Unfortunately, banquet tickets cannot be sold at the meeting because the hotel requires final counts of attendees well in advance. The Attitude Adjustment Hour (AAH) is included in the registration price, so you will only need to show your badge for admittance. WSN t-shirts and other merchandise can be purchased or picked up at the WSN Student Committee table. A partial list of restaurants near the Murano Hotel can be found at the end of the program. Continuing This Year! In addition to all the traditional WSN special events (see the schedule!), the dance immediately following the auction on Saturday night (so probably starting ~11 pm) is back by popular demand! The Student Committee will provide music. A cash bar will be available from 10 PM – 12 AM, and the dance floor will be open until midnight. Thanks to Student Travel Fund Donors We'd like to thank all of you who made donations to the Student Travel Fund when you registered; those funds are greatly appreciated by our many student members. Thanks to all! 2 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2014 2030 BENEATH THE WAVES FILM FESTIVAL and MIXER (Pavilion AGD) Open to all WSN Members FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2014 0820-1200 STUDENT SYMPOSIUM (Pavilion AGD) CONSERVATION IN THE ANTRHOPOCENE: BALANCING NATURE AND HUMAN NEEDS 1200-1300 LUNCH 1300-1800 CONTRIBUTED PAPERS (Pavilion A, B, C, D, E, F) 1830-2200 WSN POSTER SESSION (Venice Ballroom) 1900-2200 ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT HOUR (AAH) (Venice Ballroom) SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2014 0820-1115 PRESIDENTIAL SYMPOSIUM (Pavilion AGD) CHALLENGES BOUNDING TRADITIONAL MARINE ECOLOGY 1115 AWARDING OF LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD (by Corey Garza) 1130 AWARDING OF NATURALIST OF THE YEAR AWARD (by Mark Carr) 1135 WSN NATURALIST OF THE YEAR (Steve Lonhart) 1200-1300 LUNCH 1300-1800 CONTRIBUTED PAPERS (Pavilion A, B, C, D, E, F) 1830-1930 ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING (Pavilion C) 2000-2200 PRESIDENTIAL BANQUET (Pavilion AGD) 2200-2300 WSN AUCTION (Pavilion AGD) SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2014 0930-1130 CONTRIBUTED PAPERS (Pavilion A, B, C, D, E, F) 1200-1250 PLENARY SPEAKER (Pavilion AGD) Dr. Daniel Pauly 1250-1300 BEST STUDENT PAPER/POSTER AWARDS ANNOUNCEMENT 1300-1400 COWBOY BBQ LUNCH (Rotunda, Pavilion CF) 3 Hotel Floorplan 4 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2014 BENEATH THE WAVES FILM FESTIVAL and MIXER (2030-2230) PAVILION AGD The Beneath the Waves Film Festival aims to encourage, inspire, and educate scientists, advocates, and the general public to produce and promote open-access, engaging marine-issue documentaries.

Abstract Background: Among metazoans, retention of functional diet-derived chloroplasts (kleptoplasty) is known only from the sea slug taxon Sacoglossa (Gastropoda: Opisthobranchia). Intracellular maintenance of plastids in the slug's digestive epithelium has long attracted interest given its implications for understanding the evolution of endosymbiosis. However, photosynthetic ability varies widely among sacoglossans; some species have no plastid retention while others survive for months solely on photosynthesis. We present a molecular phylogenetic hypothesis for the Sacoglossa and a survey of kleptoplasty from representatives of all major clades. We sought to quantify variation in photosynthetic ability among lineages, identify phylogenetic origins of plastid retention, and assess whether kleptoplasty was a key character in the radiation of the Sacoglossa.

    PHYLOGENY AND HISTORICAL BIOGEOGRAPHY OF LIMPETS OF THE ORDER PATELLOGASTROPODA BASED ON MITOCHONDRIAL DNA SEQUENCES TOMOYUKI NAKANO AND TOMOWO OZAWA Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Nagoya University, Nagoya 464-8602,Japan (Received 29 March 2003; accepted 6June 2003) ABSTRACT Using new and previously published sequences of two mitochondrial genes (fragments of 12S and 16S ribosomal RNA; total 700 sites), we constructed a molecular phylogeny for 86 extant species, covering a major part of the order Patellogastropoda. There were 35 lottiid, one acmaeid, five nacellid and two patellid species from the western and northern Pacific; and 34 patellid, six nacellid and three lottiid species from the Atlantic, southern Africa, Antarctica and Australia. Emarginula foveolata fujitai (Fissurellidae) was used as the outgroup. In the resulting phylogenetic trees, the species fall into two major clades with high bootstrap support, designated here as (A) a clade of southern Tethyan origin consisting of superfamily Patelloidea and (B) a clade of tropical Tethyan origin consisting of the Acmaeoidea. Clades A and B were further divided into three and six subclades, respectively, which correspond with geographical distributions of species in the following genus or genera: (AÍ) north­ eastern Atlantic (Patella ); (A2) southern Africa and Australasia ( Scutellastra , Cymbula-and Helcion)', (A3) Antarctic, western Pacific, Australasia ( Nacella and Cellana); (BÍ) western to northwestern Pacific (.Patelloida); (B2) northern Pacific and northeastern Atlantic ( Lottia); (B3) northern Pacific (Lottia and Yayoiacmea); (B4) northwestern Pacific ( Nipponacmea); (B5) northern Pacific (Acmaea-’ânà Niveotectura) and (B6) northeastern Atlantic ( Tectura). Approximate divergence times were estimated using geo­ logical events and the fossil record to determine a reference date.

  • Feeding Mechanisms in the Gastropod Crepidula Fecunda*
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 234: 171–181, 2002 Published June 3 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Feeding mechanisms in the gastropod Crepidula fecunda* O. R. Chaparro1,**, R. J. Thompson2, S. V. Pereda1 1Instituto de Biología Marina ‘Dr. J. Winter’, Universidad Austral de Chile, Casilla 567, Valdivia, Chile 2Ocean Sciences Centre, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John’s, Newfoundland A1C 5S7, Canada ABSTRACT: The gastropod Crepidula fecunda feeds in 2 distinct ways: grazing of the substrate and suspension feeding. The taenioglossan radula plays a role in both processes. In the former, the radula rasps the surface, and the material is immediately ingested. This means of food acquisition is mainly used by motile individuals, i.e. juveniles and adult males. Adult females are sessile, and are only able to rasp the area beneath the head region, severely limiting the amount of food acquired. Females brooding egg capsules are even more restricted, since the area normally grazed is occupied by the capsule mass. The second mode of feeding, suspension feeding, is exhibited by late juveniles and all adults. Suspended particles are captured in mucous nets on the ventral and dorsal surfaces of the single gill lamella. The entrained particles, loosely bound in mucus, are transported by ciliary action to the distal tips of the filaments, which are bulbous. The material accumulates in 2 mucous strings which traverse the ventral surfaces of the filaments at right angles to the filaments along the entire length of the distal margin of the gill. These strings coalesce into a single, thicker string, which is transferred at intervals to a food canal in the neck, where it is twisted into a compact, mucous cord by a spiral action of the neck canal musculature.

Si bien la tendencia general de las capturas de abulón indica una disminución de las dos principales especies que la conforman (Haliotis fulgens y H corrugata), a partir de su máximo histórico en 1950, esta tendencia no ha sido uniforme ni entre especies ni entre las regiones de donde se extrae.

Schmitt, Curator of the Division of Marine Invertebrates of the LInited States National Museum, served as Naturalist. Among other things he made collections of mollusks in many rarely visited places, which resulted in the discovery of a new subgenus and a number of new species and subspecies, which are here described. We also give a list of all the species collected, believing this to be of especial interest, since little is known of the marine fauna of the places in which they were obtained. A particularly interesting fact presented by these collections is the Indo-Pacific relationship of the marine mollusks of Clipperton Island, which suggests a drift fauna.

Among these, the Fissurellidae comprise Diodora fragilis n. sp., Diodora pupuyana n. sp., two additional unnamed species of Diodora, and a species resembling Fissurellidea. Turbinidae are represented by Cantrainea sp., and Trochidae include Tegula (Chlorostoma) austropacifica n. sp., Tegula (Chlorostoma) chilena n. sp., Tegula (Chlorostoma) matanzensis n. sp., Tegula (Agathistoma) antiqua n. sp., Bathybembix mcleani n. sp., Gibbula poeppigii [Philippi, 1887] n. comb., Diloma miocenica n. sp., Fagnastesia venefica [Philippi, 1887] n. gen. n. comb., Fagnastesia matanzana n. gen. n. sp., Calliostoma mapucherum n. sp., Calliostoma kleppi n. sp., Calliostoma covacevichi n. sp., Astele laevis [Sowerby, 1846] n. comb., and Monilea riorapelensis n. sp. The Neritidae are represented by Nerita (Heminerita) chilensis [Philippi, 1887]. The new genus Fagnastesia is introduced to represent low-spired trochoideans with a sculpture of nodes below the suture, angulated whorls, and a wide umbilicus. This Miocene Chilean fauna includes genera that have lived at the coast and in shallow, relatively warm water or deeper, much cooler water. This composition therefore suggests that many of the Miocene formations along the central Chilean coast consist of displaced sediments.

  • Tidal Dynamics, Topographic Orientation, and Temperature-Mediated Mass Mortalities on Rocky Shores
    Vol. 371: 37–46, 2008 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published November 19 doi: 10.3354/meps07711 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Tidal dynamics, topographic orientation, and temperature-mediated mass mortalities on rocky shores Christopher D. G. Harley* Bodega Marine Laboratory, PO Box 247, Bodega Bay, California 94923, USA Present address: University of British Columbia, Department of Zoology, 6270 University Blvd., Vancouver, British Columbia V6T1Z4, Canada ABSTRACT: Temperature is among the main structuring agents on rocky intertidal shores. Although infrequent mortality events associated with high temperatures have been observed in several inter- tidal taxa, careful documentation of these events is rare, and small-scale variability in mortality patterns remains poorly understood. In Bodega Bay, California, USA, 2 mortality events occurred on exposed rocky shores during the spring of 2004 when low tides occurred around mid-day. Limpets Lottia scabra were killed during unseasonably warm weather in mid-March. In late April, record- high temperatures resulted in widespread mortality of the mussel Mytilus californianus. Levels of mortality for both species were closely associated with small-scale variability in temperature, which in turn was closely associated with substratum orientation. Invertebrates occupying surfaces facing the sun when stress was most intense were much more likely to die than those living on surfaces angled ≥45° away. Because the within-day timing of thermal stress varied seasonally, the highest mortalities were recorded on southwest-facing surfaces on the March afternoon low tide and on southeast-facing surfaces on the April morning low tide. Limpets and mussels showed little mortality during the events that were harmful to the other taxon, suggesting that these different taxa respond to different aspects of their thermal environment.

  • Biology 136L – Invertebrate Zoology Lab Molluscan Diversity Lab Guide Author: Allison J
    Page 1 of 9 Biology 136L – Invertebrate zoology lab Molluscan diversity lab guide Author: Allison J. Gong Figure source: Brusca and Brusca, 2003. Invertebrates, 2nd edition. Sinauer Associates, Inc. The Mollusca comprise a huge taxon, second only to the Arthropoda in terms of number of extant species. They are successful in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats. There are probably close to 100,000 species of living molluscs, including such diverse forms as snails, clams, slugs, and squids. There are also some 35,000 fossil species. You have already dissected two common local marine molluscs – a snail (Chlorostoma funebralis) and a bivalve (Mytilus californianus) – and should be familiar with their internal and external anatomy. This understanding will help you make sense of the diversity of body forms you will observe in representatives of other molluscan taxa. With any luck I will have specimens from four of the seven extant molluscan classes for you: Polyplacophora, Bivalvia, Cephalopoda, and Gastropoda. In strictly pedagogical terms, we can use a non-existent creature called a Hypothetical Ancestral Mollusc (HAM) as a starting point on which natural selection has acted to produce the variety of molluscan body plans that we see today. This HAM was a benthic animal adapted for life on hard surfaces, crawling around on its muscular ventral foot and using its radula to scrape algal and detrital films. It was poorly cephalized with an anterior head and had a single, cap-shaped shell that could be clamped down to protect the visceral mass and other soft body parts. The mantle cavity enclosed several pairs of bipectinate ctenidia, or gills.
