However, confusion in the spelling genus name Liotina and the spelling of its type taxon remains unresolved until today. Although the as well as to discuss the availability of the family species name was originally given as “gervilii” by name Liotinidae from the nomenclatural point of Defrance (1818: 544), it was apparently named view, as given in the following lines. after the French naturalist Charles de Gerville, as stated in the text as “Dauphinule de Gerville Liotina Fischer, 1885 [= Delphinula of Gerville]”, and corresponds to “a Liotina is an available and widely accepted spelling that must be corrected” (incorrect original generic or subgeneric name of the family Liotiidae spelling: ICZN Art. 32.5). It was common practice Gray, 1850, and its authorship has usually been in that period to apply the Latinized name of a attributed to “Munier-Chalmas (1877)” in taxonomic personal name as articulated in ICZN Art. 31.1.1 literature (e.g., Fischer, 1885; Tryon, 1888; (e.g., Welter-Schultes, 2012), here Gervillianus, Cossmann, 1888, 1918). This interpretation of the when naming a species after him. Consequently, authorship was probably ascribed to Fischer (1885: the species name gervillii (with double ‘l’, as in 851). He adopted the name Liotina as a subgenus Gerville) is regarded as the correct original spelling, [s. g. = sous-genre] of Liotia Gray, 1842, and used and the type species of Liotina Fischer, 1885 should it with “Munier-Chalmas, 1877” as its authorship. be represented as Delphinula gervillii Defrance, My close investigation of literature, however, has 1818. The spelling gervillei widely used in many resulted in the conclusion that the name Liotina had workers such as Fischer (1885), Cossmann (1888), not appeared in any prior publication by Munier- and others (e.g., Cossmann & Pissarro, 1900; Higo Chalmas, suggesting Munier-Chalmas is not the et al., 1999; Maxwell, 1978) are thus unavailable author of the nominal taxon.

The material was collected from three diferent outcrops at Monte San Giorgio (Southern Alps, Ticino, Switzerland). The taxa here described are Worthenia (Humiliworthenia)? af. microstriata, Frederikella cf. cancellata, ?Trachynerita sp., ?Omphalopty- cha sp. 1 and ?Omphaloptycha sp. 2. They represent the best preserved specimens of a larger collection and docu- ment the presence in this formation of the clades Vetigastropoda, Neritimorpha and Caenogastropoda that were widespread on the Alpine Triassic carbonate platforms. True benthic molluscs are very rarely documented in the Besano Formation, which is interpreted as intra-platform basin sediments deposited in usually anoxic condition. Small and juvenile gastropods could have been lived as pseudoplankton attached to foating algae or as free-swimming veliger planktotrophic larval stages. Accumulations of larval specimens suggest unfavorable living conditions with prevailing disturbance in the planktic realm or mass mortality events. However, larger gastropods more probably were washed in with sediments disturbed by slumping and turbidite currents along the basin edge or storm activity across the platform of the time equivalent Middle San Salvatore Dolomite.

  • CONE SHELLS - CONIDAE MNHN Koumac 2018
    Living Seashells of the Tropical Indo-Pacific Photographic guide with 1500+ species covered Andrey Ryanskiy INTRODUCTION, COPYRIGHT, ACKNOWLEDGMENTS INTRODUCTION Seashell or sea shells are the hard exoskeleton of mollusks such as snails, clams, chitons. For most people, acquaintance with mollusks began with empty shells. These shells often delight the eye with a variety of shapes and colors. Conchology studies the mollusk shells and this science dates back to the 17th century. However, modern science - malacology is the study of mollusks as whole organisms. Today more and more people are interacting with ocean - divers, snorkelers, beach goers - all of them often find in the seas not empty shells, but live mollusks - living shells, whose appearance is significantly different from museum specimens. This book serves as a tool for identifying such animals. The book covers the region from the Red Sea to Hawaii, Marshall Islands and Guam. Inside the book: • Photographs of 1500+ species, including one hundred cowries (Cypraeidae) and more than one hundred twenty allied cowries (Ovulidae) of the region; • Live photo of hundreds of species have never before appeared in field guides or popular books; • Convenient pictorial guide at the beginning and index at the end of the book ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The significant part of photographs in this book were made by Jeanette Johnson and Scott Johnson during the decades of diving and exploring the beautiful reefs of Indo-Pacific from Indonesia and Philippines to Hawaii and Solomons. They provided to readers not only the great photos but also in-depth knowledge of the fascinating world of living seashells. Sincere thanks to Philippe Bouchet, National Museum of Natural History (Paris), for inviting the author to participate in the La Planete Revisitee expedition program and permission to use some of the NMNH photos.

  • Gastropoda: Littorinidae) from the Quaternary of Chile
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org A new species of Echinolittorina Habe, 1956 (Gastropoda: Littorinidae) from the Quaternary of Chile Juan Francisco Araya and David G. Reid ABSTRACT We describe a new fossil littorinid species, Echinolittorina nielseni sp. nov., from the Quaternary Caldera Strata, Región de Atacama, northern Chile. Fossils of littorin- ids are globally rare because of their high-intertidal habitat on rocky shores. The new species has a large, broad shell with strong spiral ribs and an angled periphery, differ- ing from the two living littorinids currently found along the coasts of mainland Chile and from all the extant species distributed in the southeastern Pacific. In comparison with the living Chilean Echinolittorina peruviana, the new species shows stronger ribs and more inflated whorls, but they share an unusual detail in the irregular arrangement of spiral sculpture. We hypothesize that the new species may be ancestral or sister to E. peruviana and discuss the adaptive significance of shell sculpture. Juan Francisco Araya.

Chlorococcales: 1 Preface The biological resources include all the composition of organisms and genetic resources which possess the practical and potential values essential to human live. Biological resources will be firmed competition of the nation because they will be used as fundamental sources to make highly valued products such as new lines or varieties of biological organisms, new material, and drugs.

  • Deep-Water Biogenic Sediment Off the Coast of Florida
    Deep-Water Biogenic Sediment off the Coast of Florida by Claudio L. Zuccarelli A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Charles E. Schmidt College of Science In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL May 2017 Copyright 2017 by Claudio L. Zuccarelli ii Abstract Author: Claudio L. Zuccarelli Title: Deep-Water Biogenic Sediment off the Coast of Florida Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Anton Oleinik Degree: Master of Science Year: 2017 Biogenic “oozes” are pelagic sediments that are composed of > 30% carbonate microfossils and are estimated to cover about 50% of the ocean floor, which accounts for about 67% of calcium carbonate in oceanic surface sediments worldwide. These deposits exhibit diverse assemblages of planktonic microfossils and contribute significantly to the overall sediment supply and function of Florida’s deep-water regions. However, the composition and distribution of biogenic sediment deposits along these regions remains poorly documented. Seafloor surface sediments have been collected in situ via Johnson- Sea-Link I submersible along four of Florida’s deep-water regions during a joint research cruise between Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute (HBOI) and Florida Atlantic University (FAU). Sedimentological analyses of the taxonomy, species diversity, and sedimentation dynamics reveal a complex interconnected development system of Florida’s deep-water habitats. Results disclose characteristic microfossil assemblages of planktonic foraminiferal ooze off the South West Florida Shelf, a foraminiferal-pteropod ooze through the Straits iv of Florida, and pteropod ooze deposits off Florida’s east coast. The distribution of the biogenic ooze deposits is attributed to factors such as oceanographic surface production, surface and bottom currents, off-bank transport, and deep-water sediment drifts.
