    Number 57 (August 2011) The Malacologist Page 1 NUMBER 57 AUGUST 2011 Annual Award Winner Alexandra Zieritz describes her work . Variability, function and phylogenetic significance of unionoid shell characters Freshwater mussels of the order Unionoida show a wide parasitic levels of both modern and ancient unionoid populations. variability in shell features (Fig. 1), but our understanding Continued on page 3 of which factors determine which trends in shell morphol- ogy is poor. The aim of my PhD thesis was to improve our knowledge on the phylogenetic significance and functional morphologies of unionoid shell characters; or in other words, to answer the question “Why does a mussel look the way it does?”. A good understanding of morphological differences between and within species is not only needed to resolve unanswered questions on unionoid evolution but can also be helpful for other fields of research, including palaeontology, ecology and conservation of these highly threatened animals. Intraspecific patterns in shell morphologies and their use for palaeontological reconstructions If we knew which environmental conditions or other fac- tors a given shell morphotype is associated with, we could reconstruct a mussel’s (former) habitat and/or biological characteristics by merely looking at its shell. Taxa produc- ing hard parts that persist in sedimentary deposits can addi- tionally be used to recover information about ancient popu- lations and environments. Unfortunately, our incomplete understanding of which factors cause which patterns in morphology has so far limited the use of unionoids in such reconstructions of both the present and the past. This is where I come in: Applying a novel morphometric tech- nique (Fourier shape analysis), I detected the first consis- tent habitat-associated trend in shell shape (Zieritz & Aldridge, 2009).

However, the assumption that shell shape variation is evidence of distinct lineages (species) might have led to taxonomic inflation within some gastropod lineages. Here, we compare shell shape variation and genetic structure of two independent lineages of New Zealand rocky shore whelks in order to understand the process that leads to an unusual disjunct distribution. We examined the Buccinulum vittatum complex (three subspecies plus Buccinulum colensoi) using mitochondrial DNA sequences, 849 single nucleotide polymorphisms and geometric morphometric data on shell shape. Specimens within the range of B. colensoi shared nuclear markers and mitochondrial DNA haplotypes with the southern subspecies Buccinulum vittatum littorinoides, whereas the northern samples (Buccinulum vittatum vittatum) had distinct genotypes.

    62015.001.001.0288 INSURANCE THEIVES We own an investment property in Karratha and are sick and tired of being ripped off by scheming insurance companies. There has to be an investigation into colluding insurance companies and how they are ripping off home owners in the Pilbara? Every year our premium escalates, in the past 5 years our premium has increased 10 fold even though the value of our property is less than a third of its value 5 years ago. Come policy renewal date I ring around for quotes and look online only to be told that these insurance companies have to increase their premiums because of the many natural disasters on the eastern seaboard, ie; the recent devastating cyclones and floods like earlier this year or the regular furphy, the cost of rebuilding in the Northwest. Someone needs to tell these thieves that the boom is over in the Pilbara and home owners there should no longer be bailing out insurance companies who obviously collude in order to ask these outrageous premiums. I decided to do a bit of research and get some facts together and approach the federal and local member for Karratha and see what sort of reply I would get. But the more I looked into what insurance companies pay out for natural disasters the more confused I became because the sums just don’t add up! Firstly I thought I would get a quote for a property online with exactly the same specifications as ours in Karratha but in Innisfail, Queensland. This was ground zero, where over the past few years’ cyclones have flattened most of this township.

Coral reefs have been heavily affected by elevated sea-surface temperature (SST) and coral bleaching since the late 1980s; however, until recently coastal reefs of north-western Australia have been relatively unaffected compared to Timor Sea and eastern Australian reefs. We compare SST time series with changes in coral cover spanning a period of up to 36 years to describe temporal and spatial variability in bleaching and associated coral mortality throughout the Pilbara– Ningaloo region.
