    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF BENTHIC MOLLUSCS ALONG A DEPTH GRADIENT IN THE BAHAMAS Michael Joseph Dowgiallo, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Marjorie L. Reaka-Kudla Department of Biology, UMCP Species richness and abundance of benthic bivalve and gastropod molluscs was determined over a depth gradient of 5 - 244 m at Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas by deploying replicate benthic collectors at five sites at 5 m, 14 m, 46 m, 153 m, and 244 m for six months beginning in December 1993. A total of 773 individual molluscs comprising at least 72 taxa were retrieved from the collectors. Analysis of the molluscan fauna that colonized the collectors showed overwhelmingly higher abundance and diversity at the 5 m, 14 m, and 46 m sites as compared to the deeper sites at 153 m and 244 m. Irradiance, temperature, and habitat heterogeneity all declined with depth, coincident with declines in the abundance and diversity of the molluscs. Herbivorous modes of feeding predominated (52%) and carnivorous modes of feeding were common (44%) over the range of depths studied at Lee Stocking Island, but mode of feeding did not change significantly over depth. One bivalve and one gastropod species showed a significant decline in body size with increasing depth. Analysis of data for 960 species of gastropod molluscs from the Western Atlantic Gastropod Database of the Academy of Natural Sciences (ANS) that have ranges including the Bahamas showed a positive correlation between body size of species of gastropods and their geographic ranges. There was also a positive correlation between depth range and the size of the geographic range.

Se analizó la estructura comunitaria de los gasterópodos de la laguna arrecifal de Isla Verde, Veracruz en las épocas de nortes, secas y lluvias. El análisis comunitario se sustentó en 4 muestreos: octubre de 2009, abril, agosto y diciembre de 2010. El valor más alto del índice de Shannon fue 2.422 bit/ind, el coral muerto tuvo la mayor abundancia, 472 individuos, y la temporada del año con mayor riqueza, 27 especies, fue la de nortes de diciembre de 2010. La totalidad de registros para esta localidad fue de 111 especies de gasterópodos. Los muestreos realizados incrementaron la riqueza específica en 50%, encontrando una comunidad compuesta por un total de 48 especies, de las cuales 18 tuvieron representantes vivos. El análisis histórico se llevó a cabo con base en revisiones de los ejemplares del área depositados en colecciones científicas nacionales, así como en los registros de especies referidas en la bibliografía.

    Biodiversita' Ed Evoluzione

    Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna DOTTORATO DI RICERCA IN BIODIVERSITA’ ED EVOLUZIONE Ciclo XXIII Settore scientifico-disciplinare di afferenza: BIO/05 ZOOLOGIA MOLLUSCS OF THE MARINE PROTECTED AREA “SECCHE DI TOR PATERNO” Presentata da: Dott. Paolo Giulio Albano Coordinatore Dottorato Relatore Prof.ssa Barbara Mantovani Prof. Francesco Zaccanti Co-relatore Prof. Bruno Sabelli Esame finale anno 2011 to Ilaria and Chiara, my daughters This PhD thesis is the completion of a long path from childhood amateur conchology to scientific research. Many people were involved in this journey, but key characters are three. Luca Marini, director of “Secche di Tor Paterno” Marine Protected Area, shared the project idea of field research on molluscs and trusted me in accomplishing the task. Without his active support in finding funds for the field activities this project would have not started. It is no exaggeration saying I would not have even thought of entering the PhD without him. Bruno Sabelli, my PhD advisor, is another person who trusted me above reasonable expectations. Witness of my childhood love for shells, he has become witness of my metamorphosis to a researcher. Last, but not least, Manuela, my wife, shared my objectives and supported me every single day despite the family challenges we had to face. Many more people helped profusely. I sincerely hope not to forget anyone. Marco Oliverio, Sabrina Macchioni, Letizia Argenti and Roberto Maltini were great SCUBA diving buddies during field activities. Betulla Morello, former researcher at ISMAR-CNR in Ancona, was my guide through the previously unexplored land of non-parametric multivariate statistics.
