Carriker Papers Identifier: Accession 08-005 Date: 1934-2007 Extent: 30.8 cu. ft. (30 record storage boxes) (1 document box) (2 3x5 boxes) Creator:: Carriker, Melbourne R. (Melbourne Romaine), 1915-2007 Language: Language of Materials: English Administrative Information Prefered Citation Smithsonian Institution Archives, Accession 08-005, Melbourne R. Carriker Papers Descriptive Entry This accession consists of records documenting the research and professional activities of Melbourne R. Carriker, marine malacologist. Carriker's research interests included snails, oysters, clams, invasive species of mollusks, marine mariculture, and estuarine ecology. Much of Carriker's research focused on South America, where he was born in Santa Marta, Colombia and on the Chesapeake Bay, where he taught at the University of Delaware, College of Marine Studies. Carriker also wrote several books about his father, ornithologist Melbourne Armstrong Carriker, and their lives in Colombia and Bolivia. Materials include correspondence; research notes; lectures; manuscripts; course materials; newsletters and conference materials from various professional societies; lantern slides, transparencies, negatives, photographs, videotapes, audiotapes, and film created for research purposes; transparencies from research and personal trips, including several South American locations associated with the Carriker family; and materials related to books written about the Carriker family.

  • Policy Drafting Template SE-NIS-1 HLMO Living Through
    Policy drafting template SE-NIS-1 HLMO Living through Sub bullet(s) Our oceans support environmental limits viable populations of representative, rare, vulnerable, and valued species. Grouping Invasive non-native Code SE-NIS-1 species Policy SE-NIS-1 Proposals that reduce the risk of spread and/or introduction of non-native invasive species within the south east marine plan area and adjacent plan areas should be supported. Proposals must put in place appropriate measures to avoid or minimise significant adverse impacts that would arise through the introduction and transport of non-native invasive species, particularly when: 1) moving equipment, boats or livestock (for example fish or shellfish) from one water body to another 2) introducing structures suitable for settlement of non-native invasive species, or the spread of non-native invasive species known to exist in the area. What are non-native and non-native invasive species? 1. Non-native (sometimes referred to as non-indigenous) species are those introduced outside of their natural past or present distribution which might survive and subsequently reproduce. In many cases non-native species do not cause harm to the local environment or economy. The Great Britain Non-Native Species Secretariat describes non-native invasive species as any non-native species that has the ability to spread, causing damage to the environment, economy, human health or the way we live. Non-native species can become ‘invasive’ when they cause significant adverse impacts. For example, the carpet sea squirt (Didemnum vexillum) was confirmed in British waters in 2008. It spreads quickly and smothers equipment, boat hulls, fishing equipment and native habitats, such as mussel beds.

Box 261954, Conway, SC 29528 ABSTRACT The veined rapa whelk (Rapana venosa) invasion of the Chesapeake Bay in the United States was first observed in 1998. Chesapeake Bay rapa whelk population demographics, age-at-length relationships, and invasion progression (temporal, spatial) from 1998 to 2009 are described. Between June 1998 and November 2009, 27,624 rapa whelks, ranging from 11- to 195-mm shell length (SL), were collected from the lower Bay.

(2010): NOBANIS – Invasive Alien Species Fact Sheet – Rapana venosa – From: Identification key to marine invasive species in Nordic waters – NOBANIS www.nobanis.org, Date of access x/x/201x. Species description Species name Rapana venosa, (Valenciennes, 1846) – Veined rapa whelk Synonyms Purpura venosa Valenciennes, 1846; Rapana thomasiana Crosse, 1861; ?Rapana marginata (Valenciennes, 1846); ?Rapana pechiliensis Grabau & King, 1928; Rapana pontica Nordsieck, 1969. Common names Veined rapa whelk, Asian rapa whelk (USA, UK); Thomas’ whelk (English common name for Black Sea whelks identified as R. thomasiana); Cocozza, Bobolone (IT); Geaderde stekelhoorn (NL); Bai top shell (commercial name for Bulgarian Black Sea specimens); Akanishi (JP). Taxonomic note The genus Rapana is sometimes referred to the family Muricidae (e.g., DAISIE, 2006), sometimes to Thaididae (e.g., Koutsoubas & Voultsiadou-Koukoura, 1991; Mann & Harding, 2000). According to World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) the family should be Muricidae, and the Thaididae is considered a synonym of Rapaninae, a subfamily of Muricidae (see Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). Identification Rapana venosa is a large, 9-16 cm shell length, species with a heavy, strongly sculptured shell. Specimens up to 17.5 cm have been recorded in the Black Sea (Micu et al., 2008). The spire is relatively short, less than half the height of the aperture.

Lord1,*, Elizabeth M. Harper2, James P. Barry3 1Department of Biological Sciences, Moravian College, Bethlehem, PA 18045, USA 2Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 3EQ, UK 3Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, Moss Landing, CA 95039, USA ABSTRACT: Predator–prey interactions often drive ecological patterns and are governed by fac- tors including predator feeding rates, prey behavioral avoidance, and prey structural defenses. Invasive species can also play a large ecological role by disrupting food webs, driving local extinc- tions, and influencing evolutionary changes in prey defense mechanisms. This study documents a substantial reduction in the behavioral and morphological responses of multiple gastropod species (Nucella lapillus, N. ostrina, Urosalpinx cinerea) to an invasive predatory crab (green crab Carci- nus maenas) under ocean acidification conditions. These results suggest that climate-related changes in ocean chemistry may diminish non-lethal effects of predators on prey responses including behavioral avoidance. While snails with varying shell mineralogies were similarly suc- cessful at deterring predation, those with primarily aragonitic shells were more susceptible to dis- solution and erosion under high CO2 conditions. The varying susceptibility to predation among species with similar ecological roles could indicate that the impacts of invasive species like green crabs could be modulated by the ability of native and invasive prey to withstand ocean acidifica- tion conditions.

  • Predation on Juveniles of Crepidula Fornicata by Two Crustaceans and Two Gastropods
    Predation on juveniles of Crepidula fornicata by two crustaceans and two gastropods Jan A. Pechenik *, Olivia V.

Tel: +1 617 627 3199. E-mail address : [email protected] (J.A. Pechenik) Keywords: Crepidula Hemigrapsus Nucella Pagurus Predation Urosalpinx Running head: Predation on Crepidula Pechenik, Ambrogio, Untersee ABSTRACT Crepidula fornicata , the slippershell snail, while native to New England, has now become a successful invasive species along coastlines in many other parts of the world. This study considers the possible control of native populations by several common predators: the invasive shore crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus , one species of pagurid hermit crab ( Pagurus longicarpus ), and juveniles of the drilling gastropods Nucella lapillus and Urosalpinx cinerea . In the laboratory, juveniles of C. fornicata were especially vulnerable to the two crustacean predators tested, and to a lesser extent vulnerable as well to predation by the oyster drill U. cinerea ; in choice tests, young oyster drills ate barnacles and mussels rather than slippershell snails, but ate C. fornicata when offered no other choice. Juveniles of two other Crepidula species ( C. plana and C. convexa ) were less susceptible to predation by hermit crabs, probably due to differences in juvenile shell morphology and growth trajectories. Remarkably, juvenile dogwhelks ( N. lapillus ) ate no Crepidula prey over several months in the laboratory, even in the absence of alternative food and although they readily consumed blue mussels. Additional work is needed to determine the role of crustacean and other predators in regulating the growth of native populations of C.
