    Marine Boring Bivalve Mollusks from Isla Margarita, Venezuela

    ISSN 0738-9388 247 Volume: 49 THE FESTIVUS ISSUE 3 Marine boring bivalve mollusks from Isla Margarita, Venezuela Marcel Velásquez 1 1 Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Sorbonne Universites, 43 Rue Cuvier, F-75231 Paris, France; [email protected] Paul Valentich-Scott 2 2 Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, Santa Barbara, California, 93105, USA; [email protected] Juan Carlos Capelo 3 3 Estación de Investigaciones Marinas de Margarita. Fundación La Salle de Ciencias Naturales. Apartado 144 Porlama,. Isla de Margarita, Venezuela. ABSTRACT Marine endolithic and wood-boring bivalve mollusks living in rocks, corals, wood, and shells were surveyed on the Caribbean coast of Venezuela at Isla Margarita between 2004 and 2008. These surveys were supplemented with boring mollusk data from malacological collections in Venezuelan museums. A total of 571 individuals, corresponding to 3 orders, 4 families, 15 genera, and 20 species were identified and analyzed. The species with the widest distribution were: Leiosolenus aristatus which was found in 14 of the 24 localities, followed by Leiosolenus bisulcatus and Choristodon robustus, found in eight and six localities, respectively. The remaining species had low densities in the region, being collected in only one to four of the localities sampled. The total number of species reported here represents 68% of the boring mollusks that have been documented in Venezuelan coastal waters. This study represents the first work focused exclusively on the examination of the cryptofaunal mollusks of Isla Margarita, Venezuela. KEY WORDS Shipworms, cryptofauna, Teredinidae, Pholadidae, Gastrochaenidae, Mytilidae, Petricolidae, Margarita Island, Isla Margarita Venezuela, boring bivalves, endolithic. INTRODUCTION The lithophagans (Mytilidae) are among the Bivalve mollusks from a range of families have more recognized boring mollusks.

    ^;^2_ MALACOLOGIA, 1993, 35(2); 261-313 PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS AND GENERIC REVIEW OF THE BITTIINAE (PROSOBRANCHIA: GERITHIOIDEA) Richard S. Houbrick Department of Invertebrate Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560, U.S.A. ABSTRACT The anatomy of seven members of the Bittium group is described, clarifying the status of the genus-level taxa comprising it. Bittium reticulatum, the type species of Bittium Gray, is described in depth, thereby establishing criteria for comparisons with other taxa of Bitliinae. The type species of Stylidium Dell and LirobiWum Bartsch, and representatives of Bittiolum Cossmann and Cacozeliana Strand are examined and compared with Bittium, s.s. Results of anatomical studies and a phylogenetic analysis using the Hennig86 and CLADOS programs, with Cehtt)ium as an outgroup, establish monophyly for Bitliinae Cossmann and reveal six different genus-level taxa. A new genus, ittibittium, from the Indo-Pacific, is proposed. Synonymies of each genus- level taxon and representative species examined are presented. Brief accounts of the ecology and zoogeography of each taxon are given. Two taxa formerly attributed to the 6/ff/um-group are herein excluded from it and referred to Cerithium Bruguière. These are Cerithium zebrum Kiener, 1841, and Cerithium boeticum Pease, 1861. The subfamily Bittiinae Cossmann, 1906, is thought to comprise nine genera (four of which were not included in phylogenetic analyses) : Bittium Gray, 1847; Bittiolum Cossmann, 1906; Ittibittium gen. n., Stylidium Dalí, 1907; Lirobit- tium Bartsch, 1911 ; Cacozeliana Strand, 1928; Argyropeza Melvill & Standen, 1901 ; Varicopeza Gründel, 1976; Zebittium Finlay, 1927. The genus Cassiella Gofas, 1987, of uncertain place- ment, is included as a possible member of the group.

    Integrated conservation approach for the Australian land snail genus Bothriembryon Pilsbry, 1894: curation, taxonomy and palaeontology Corey Whisson This thesis is presented for the Master of Philosophy 2019 Murdoch University, Perth, Western Australia DECLARATION I declare that this thesis is my own original account of my research and contains as its main content, work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution and as author, I reserve the right of copyright under the Copyright Act 1968, Commonwealth of Australia. …………………………………………………………… Corey Whisson i "Probably the most intriguing land shells in Australia are the bulimoid forms inhabiting the south-west corner. A large number of species and races has developed, and probably only a tithe has been described. It is unfortunate these have not yet been studied by anyone conversant with local conditions, and it is certain that they will provide future students with much research. No more exciting subject could be chosen by the student, but the unravelling of the many problems will necessitate much investigation." Mr Tom Iredale (cited in Iredale, 1939) ii Abstract Native land snails are important to ecosystems given their role in the decomposition process through herbivorous feeding of primarily decaying plant matter; calcium recycling and soil nitrification, and as a food source for larger predators. They also serve as a valuable bio-indicator group, especially in Western Australia where they are critical to Environmental Impact Assessments surveys. One conspicuous genus of native land snail found in Western Australia is Bothriembryon Pilsbry, 1894, a Gondwanan group endemic to the southern half of Australia and most diverse in the south-west of Western Australia.

This is consistent with the “Note” at the beginning of Annex 5 in Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev. CoP16): “Where numerical guidelines are cited in this Annex, they are presented only as examples, since it is impossible to give numerical values that are applicable to all taxa because of differences in their biology.” The definition of “decline” in Annex 5 is relevant to the determination of whether a species meets either criterion in Annex 2a of the resolution. Nonetheless, it is possible for a species to meet the criteria and qualify for listing in Appendix II even if it does not meet the specific parameters provided in the definition of “decline”, which is in fact more relevant for the inclusion of species in Appendix I.

    Supplement – December 2017 – Survey of the Literature on Recent

    A Malacological Journal ISSN 1565-1916 No. 36 - SUPPLEMENT DECEMBER 2017 2 SURVEY OF THE LITERATURE ON RECENT SHELLS FROM THE RED SEA (third enlarged and revised edition) L.J. van Gemert* Summary This literature survey lists approximately 3,050 references. Shells are being considered here as the shell bearing molluscs of the Gastropoda, Bivalvia and Scaphopoda. The area does not only comprise the Red Sea, but also the Gulf of Aden, Somalia and the Suez Canal, including the Lessepsian species in the Mediterranean Sea. Literature on fossils shells, particularly those from the Holocene, Pleistocene and Pliocene, is listed too. Introduction My interest in recent shells from the Red Sea dates from about 1996. Since then, I have been, now and then, trying to obtain information on this subject. Some years ago I decide to stop gathering data in a haphazard way and to do it more properly. This resulted in a first survey of approximately 1,420 and a second one of 2,025 references (van Gemert, 2010 & 2011). Since then, this survey has again been enlarged and revised and a number of errors have been corrected. It contains now approximately 3,050 references. Scope In principle every publication in which molluscs are reported to live or have lived in the Red Sea should be listed in the survey. This means that besides primary literature, i.e. articles in which researchers are reporting their finds for the first time, secondary and tertiary literature, i.e. reviews, monographs, books, etc are to be included too. These publications were written not only by a wide range of authors ranging from amateur shell collectors to professional malacologists but also people interested in the field of archaeology, geology, etc.
