Paalwormen Hoewel Hun Naam En Vorm Doet Denken Aan Een Worm, Zijn De Paalworm En De Scheepsworm Tweekleppige Weekdieren, Net Zoals De Mossel of De Kokkel
Niet-inheemse soorten van het Belgisch deel van de Noordzee en aanpalende estuaria Paalwormen Hoewel hun naam en vorm doet denken aan een worm, zijn de paalworm en de scheepsworm tweekleppige weekdieren, net zoals de mossel of de kokkel. Ze boren gangen in hout. Beide soor- ten hebben zich al vroeg verspreid over alle we- reldzeeën, dankzij transport via scheepsrompen en drijfhout. Hierdoor is het moeilijk te achter- halen waar deze soorten oorspronkelijk vandaan komen. Scheeps- en paalwormen baren de zeelui al eeuwenlang zorgen, doordat ze het hout van schepen aantasten. Ze kregen dan ook de bijnaam ‘termieten van de zee’… paalworm © Marco Faasse (www.acteon.nl) Wetenschappelijke naam Teredo navalis Linnaeus, 1758 - paalworm Psiloteredo megotara (Hanley in Forbes & Hanley, 1848) - scheepsworm Beide soorten behoren tot de familie van de ‘paalwormen’ of de ‘Teredo wormen’. Gezien ze heel sterk op elkaar gelijken in biologie en ecologie, zullen ze in deze fiche samen besproken worden. Oorspronkelijke verspreiding Verschillende klassieke auteurs zoals Aristoteles, Ovidius en Plinius maakten in hun geschriften al melding van paalwormen, zonder echter te weten wat hun identiteit of oorsprong was. Ze verwezen daarbij naar plaatsen in het Middellandse Zeegebied [1,2]. Een eventuele vroege aanwezigheid van paalwormen in de Noord-Europese regio kan niet bevestigd worden. Er zijn immers geen overleveringen of geschriften beschikbaar die rapporteren over schade toegebracht aan Vikingschepen door deze weekdieren [1]. De paalworm heeft vandaag een bijna wereldwijde verspreiding, en komt in Europa voor vanaf het Noordpoolgebied tot in de Middellandse Zee. De scheepsworm daarentegen komt enkel voor van het Noordpoolgebied tot in de Middellandse Zee [3]. -
Comparing the Dutch and British Maritime Technologies During the Napoleonic Era (1792–1815)
Technology and Empire: Comparing the Dutch and British Maritime Technologies during the Napoleonic Era (1792–1815) By Ivor Mollema December, 2015 Director of Thesis: Dr. Lynn Harris Major Department: History The two ships, Bato (1806) and Brunswick (1805) wrecked in Simons Bay, South Africa, provide an opportunity to compare British and Dutch maritime technologies during the Napoleonic Era (1792–1815). The former was a Dutch 74-gun ship of the line and the latter a British East Indiaman. Their remains reveal pertinent information about the maritime technologies available to each European power. Industrial capacity and advanced metal working played a significant role in ship construction initiatives of that period, while the dwindling timber supplies forced invention of new technologies. Imperial efforts during the Napoleonic Era relied on naval power. Maritime technologies dictated imperial strategy as ships were deployed to expand or maintain colonial empires. Naval theorists place the strategy into a wider spectrum and the analysis of the material culture complements further understanding of sea power. The study also recommends management options to preserve the archaeological sites for future study and to showcase for heritage tourism.

A New Miocene Deep-Sea Chiton and Early Evidence for Teredinidae-Sustained Wood-Fall Communities
Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org A new Miocene deep-sea chiton and early evidence for Teredinidae-sustained wood-fall communities Luca Bertolaso, Vittorio Garilli, Daniela Parrinello, Maurizio Sosso, and Bruno Dell’Angelo ABSTRACT Deep-sea wood-falls are important biodiversity hot spots for insights on chemo- synthesis-based communities. The study of deep-sea wood-fall-related palaeocommu- nities from the Neogene of north Italy shed light on interesting associations from the Miocene of Torrente Cinghio (Tortonian) and of Moncasale di Casina (Langhian). The most common components of this association are typical chemosynthetic/wood-fall molluscs, such as the gastropods Homalopoma sp. and Pseudonina bellardii, the bivalves Idas sp. and shipworms, and the chiton Leptochiton lignatilis n. sp., which belongs to a genus typical of recent sunken woods in tropical waters. The new species described is compared with other fossil and recent congeners, especially with those sharing the same kind of tegmental sculpture, fully covered with randomly or quincun- cially arranged granules. An overview of the sunken wood-related chitons is provided. Surprisingly no taxa of the boring bivalves of the family Xylophagidae, whose species have been known to be fundamental for sustaining this kind of deep sea chemosyn- thetic ecosystem, were found in the studied site; however, other boring Teredinidae bivalves have been abundantly recovered. This suggests that, conversely to what has previously been observed on sunken wood communities, Teredinidae may be viewed as a counterpart for the maintenance of deep-sea wood-fall ecosystems.

The Naval Shipworm Teredo Navalis a Global Player and Its Entangled Histories
Call for Papers The Naval Shipworm Teredo navalis A Global Player and its Entangled Histories Online-Workshop, 21.-22.1.2021 Mareike Vennen, Humboldt University of Berlin (BMBF- research project “Animals as Objects"); Ruth Schilling, German Maritime Museum/ Leibniz- Institute for Maritime History When it comes to the achievements in sinking ships, world- „ famous naval heroes such as Drake, Nelson, Count Luckner, as well as the German submarine fleet of World War II, are noth- ing compared to a small group of sea pests, which lead a system- atic campaign of destruction against all man's work, since the first day man began to sail the seas.” Regierungsbaudirektor Adolf Hahn: Die Bekämpfung der Bohrmuschel, in: Die Küste.

Image credits: above Hahn 1956, p.62; last page George Brown Goode/wikicommons. his two-day online-workshop aims at bringing together multiple perspectives on the history of T the naval shipworm Teredo navalis from various disciplines. We want to reach out to and con- nect scholars working on T. navalis from different perspectives and fields: history, environmental and cultural history, history of science, history of knowledge as well as Science and Technology Studies. The history of Teredo navalis spans various geographical regions, time periods, nations, industries, and disciplines. Of unknown origins, the naval shipworm has been a reoccurring protagonist in reports since ships sailed the seas. The eight-inch animal became so prominent not because of its appeal, but be- cause of the damage and destruction it caused to wooden ships and port infrastructure: boring through the wood, it sinks wooden vessels; tunneling into underwater piers and pilings it collapses ports and har- bours. -
An Experimental Approach for Understanding the Process of Wood Fragmentation by Marine Wood Borers in Shallow Temperate Waters

We investigated the individual stages of wood frag- mentation through a 4 yr colonization experiment. We placed Japanese cedar logs on the sea bed ~2 m below the surface of Tanabe Bay, Japan. A cluster analysis showed 6 successive stages (plus 1 alternative second stage) in the development of the wood borer’s assemblage. Individuals of the bivalve families Teredinidae and Pholadidae and the isopod family Limnoriidae settled on the logs within 2 mo (Stage 1). After rapidly fragmenting the inside of the logs (Stage 2), most of the tere- dinids died during the first year, leaving numerous empty tunnels reinforced by calcium carbonate linings (Stage 3). Because of this reinforcement, as well as due to the fact that the tunnels never crossed each other, the resulting honeycombed structure remained stable for about 3 yr, allowing for the ongoing development of the sunken wood community. -

Ten years ago, in 1999, VLIZ was founded by the Flemish Community, the province of West Flanders and the Research Foundation – Flanders. In retrospect, this has been a timely and visionary decision. Timely because the importance of the seas and oceans – and therefore of marine scientific research as well – has greatly increased over the past decade. Visionary because the model used turned out to be a bull’s-eye. This ‘VLIZ model’ – the framework within which the institution operates – means that VLIZ does not carry out any research itself, but actively supports the researchers at the universities, the scientific institutions and the administrations. -
Diversity, Environmental Requirements, and Biogeography of Bivalve Wood-Borers (Teredinidae) in European Coastal Waters
Borges et al. Frontiers in Zoology 2014, 11:13 http://www.frontiersinzoology.com/content/11/1/13 RESEARCH Open Access Diversity, environmental requirements, and biogeography of bivalve wood-borers (Teredinidae) in European coastal waters Luísa MS Borges1,2,3*, Lucas M Merckelbach2, Íris Sampaio3 and Simon M Cragg1 Abstract Background: Bivalve teredinids inflict great destruction to wooden maritime structures. Yet no comprehensive study was ever carried out on these organisms in European coastal waters. Thus, the aims of this study were to: investigate the diversity of teredinids in European coastal waters; map their past and recent distributions to detect range expansion or contraction; determine salinity-temperature (S-T) requirements of species; flag, for future monitoring, the species that pose the greatest hazard for wooden structures. Results: A total of nine teredinid species were found established in European coastal waters. Seven were considered cryptogenic, of unknown origin, and two were considered alien species. Teredo navalis and Nototeredo norvagica were the species with the widest distribution in European waters. Recently, T. navalis has been reported occurring further east in the Baltic Sea but it was not found at a number of sites on the Atlantic coast of southern Europe. The Atlantic lineage of Lyrodus pedicellatus was the dominant teredinid in the southern Atlantic coast of Europe. In the Mediterranean six teredinid species occurred in sympatry, whereas only three of these occurred in the Black Sea. The species that pose the greatest hazard to wooden maritime structures in European coastal areas are T. navalis and the two lineages of L. pedicellatus. Conclusions: Combined data from field surveys and from the literature made it possible to determine the diversity of established teredinid species and their past and recent distribution in Europe.
