Prominent and endangered components of the GAB spring community are snails of the family Hydro- biidae. This paper examines the evolutionary relationships of the entire hydrobiid fauna associated with the GAB, and includes appropriate non-GAB species to place the GAB fauna in a broader phylogenetic context. The Queensland genus Jardinella is a focus of this paper, providing a Wne scale examination of relationships between spring supergroups in the northeastern regions of the GAB. Maximum parsimony and Bayesian analyses performed on 16S, CO1, and combined sequence data from 40 hydrobiid taxa found four major clades of Australian taxa. The analysis revealed that at least three separate colonization events of the GAB spring fauna have occurred. Two of these are represented by considerable radiations, (1) Jardinella to the north and east and (2) Caldicochlea, Fonscochlea, and possibly Trochidrobia in South Australia.

    FRESHWATER MOLLUSCS Photo © Piotr Naskrecki Photo © Steven Buck, Illinois Natural History Survey BIODIVERSITY SAMPLING PROTOCOLS 185 RAPID BIOASSESSMENT METHODS FOR FRESHWATER MOLLUSCS Kevin S. Cummings1, Hugh A. Jones2 and Manuel Lopes-Lima3 Introduction Freshwater molluscs are found worldwide, occurring on all continents except Antarctica. There are approximately 1,200 species of freshwater bivalves, 97% of which belong to eight primary freshwater families: Unionidae, Margaritiferidae, Hyriidae, Mycetopodidae, Iridinidae, and Etheriidae (all Unionoida or freshwater mussels), Sphaeriidae, and Cyrenidae (both Veneroida) (Graf 2013). The world’s freshwater gastropod fauna comprises approximately 4,000 described species (Strong et al. 2008). Many species are globally imperiled and freshwater molluscs are considered to be the most threatened group of animals in the world (Williams et al. 1993; Lydeard et al. 2004; Johnson et al. 2013). Freshwater mussels (unionoids) are an integral component of aquatic ecosystems. Freshwater mussels can comprise >90% of the benthic biomass of rivers and an individual mussel can filter 40 L of water each day (Tankersley & Dimock 1993; Pusch et al. 2001; Strayer 2008). In addition, their shells function as substrate for many organisms including caddisflies, mayflies and other aquatic insects. Unionoids are often described as ecosystem engineers due to the direct and indirect physical effects that they have on freshwater ecosystems (Gutiérrez et al. 2003). Freshwater mussels also provide important direct services to humans, such as water purification, serving as an important prey for several mammals and commercial fishes, and providing a direct source of protein. Given their importance within aquatic ecosystems, the cascading consequences of unionoid declines can be considerable (Haag 2012; Vaughn et al.

Karen Richards Date iii iv Abstract Narrow-range endemic species are thought to have naturally small distributions, limited by size, mobility, dispersal capabilities, specific habitat requirements and biogeographical boundaries. Many narrow range taxa are poorly reserved and most threatened freshwater invertebrate taxa in Tasmania, including the majority of Beddomeia species, fall into this category. Management of such taxa is reliant on informed ecological data which is not currently available for many freshwater invertebrates. To address the need for more detailed information on one such group of aquatic invertebrates, this study obtained spatial and ecological data for a number of Beddomeia species and identified habitat variables that together explained the snail distributions. A combination of geology, catchment size, forest type, flow and disturbance were identified as significant explanatory variables of Beddomeia presence within a river catchment.

Assessor's Summary of Significance: Elizabeth Springs is one of a suite of nationally important artesian springs in the Great Artesian Basin, which is the world’s largest artesian basin. The artesian springs have been the primary natural source of permanent water in most of the Australian arid zone over the last 1.8 Million years (the Pleistocene and Holocene periods). These artesian springs, also known as mound springs, provide vital habitat for more widespread terrestrial vertebrates and invertebrates with aquatic larval young, and are a unique feature of the arid Australian landscape. As these artesian springs are some distance from each other in the Australian inland, and individually each one covers a relatively tiny area, their isolation has allowed the freshwater animal lineages to evolve into distinct species, which include fish, aquatic invertebrates (crustacean and freshwater snail species) and wetland plants. This results in a high level of endemism, or species that are found nowhere else in the world.

On this long isolated continent, the naming of several monotypic genera and a plethora of species have clouded both the phylogenetical and biogeographical relation- ships with other thiarids, in particular in Southeast Asia, thus hampering insight into the evolution of Australian taxa and their natural history. Based on own collections during five expeditions to various regions in Australia between 2002 and 2007, the study of rele- vant type material and the comparison with (mostly shell) material from major Australian museum collections, we describe and document here the morphology (of adults and juve- niles) and radulae of all relevant thiarid taxa, discussing the taxonomical implications and nomenclatural consequences. Presenting comprehensive compilations of the occurrences for all Australian thiarid species, we document their geographical distribution (based on over 900 records) with references ranging from continent-wide to drainage-based pat- terns. We morphologically identify a total of eleven distinct species (also corroborated as distinct clades by molecular genetic data, to be reported elsewhere), of which six species are endemic to Australia, viz.

In his formal plan for the institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian FoUdife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world o^ science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.
