  • Mammalia, Felidae, Canidae, and Mustelidae) from the Earliest Hemphillian Screw Bean Local Fauna, Big Bend National Park, Brewster County, Texas
    Chapter 9 Carnivora (Mammalia, Felidae, Canidae, and Mustelidae) From the Earliest Hemphillian Screw Bean Local Fauna, Big Bend National Park, Brewster County, Texas MARGARET SKEELS STEVENS1 AND JAMES BOWIE STEVENS2 ABSTRACT The Screw Bean Local Fauna is the earliest Hemphillian fauna of the southwestern United States. The fossil remains occur in all parts of the informal Banta Shut-in formation, nowhere very fossiliferous. The formation is informally subdivided on the basis of stepwise ®ning and slowing deposition into Lower (least fossiliferous), Middle, and Red clay members, succeeded by the valley-®lling, Bench member (most fossiliferous). Identi®ed Carnivora include: cf. Pseudaelurus sp. and cf. Nimravides catocopis, medium and large extinct cats; Epicyon haydeni, large borophagine dog; Vulpes sp., small fox; cf. Eucyon sp., extinct primitive canine; Buisnictis chisoensis, n. sp., extinct skunk; and Martes sp., marten. B. chisoensis may be allied with Spilogale on the basis of mastoid specialization. Some of the Screw Bean taxa are late survivors of the Clarendonian Chronofauna, which extended through most or all of the early Hemphillian. The early early Hemphillian, late Miocene age attributed to the fauna is based on the Screw Bean assemblage postdating or- eodont and predating North American edentate occurrences, on lack of de®ning Hemphillian taxa, and on stage of evolution.

We investigated the larval vertical dis- tribution and abundance of 9 meroplanktonic gastropod taxa (Margarites spp., Crepidula spp., Astyris lunata, Diaphana minuta, Littorinimorpha, Arrhoges occidentalis, Ilyanassa spp., Bittiolum alternatum and Nudibranchia), with similar morphology and swimming abilities, but different adult habitats and life-history strategies. We explored the role of physical (temperature, salinity, density, current velocities) and biological (fluorescence) factors, as well as periodic cycles (lunar phase, tidal state, diel period) in regulating larval vertical distribution. Using a pump, we collected plankton samples at 6 depths (3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 m) at each tidal state, every 2 h over a 36 and a 26 h period, during a spring and neap tide, respectively, in St. George’s Bay, Nova Scotia. Con- currently, we measured temperature, salinity, density, fluorescence (as a proxy for chlorophyll, i.e. phytoplankton density), and current velocity. Larval abundance was most strongly related to tem- perature, except for Littorinimorpha and Crepidula spp., for which it was most strongly related to fluorescence. Margarites spp., A.

Variability, function and phylogenetic significance of unionoid shell characters Freshwater mussels of the order Unionoida show a wide parasitic levels of both modern and ancient unionoid populations. variability in shell features (Fig. 1), but our understanding Continued on page 3 of which factors determine which trends in shell morphol- ogy is poor. The aim of my PhD thesis was to improve our knowledge on the phylogenetic significance and functional morphologies of unionoid shell characters; or in other words, to answer the question “Why does a mussel look the way it does?”. A good understanding of morphological differences between and within species is not only needed to resolve unanswered questions on unionoid evolution but can also be helpful for other fields of research, including palaeontology, ecology and conservation of these highly threatened animals. Intraspecific patterns in shell morphologies and their use for palaeontological reconstructions If we knew which environmental conditions or other fac- tors a given shell morphotype is associated with, we could reconstruct a mussel’s (former) habitat and/or biological characteristics by merely looking at its shell. Taxa produc- ing hard parts that persist in sedimentary deposits can addi- tionally be used to recover information about ancient popu- lations and environments. Unfortunately, our incomplete understanding of which factors cause which patterns in morphology has so far limited the use of unionoids in such reconstructions of both the present and the past. This is where I come in: Applying a novel morphometric tech- nique (Fourier shape analysis), I detected the first consis- tent habitat-associated trend in shell shape (Zieritz & Aldridge, 2009).

Charles J. Gabriel, Honorary Associate in Gonchology, National Museum of Victoria. Introduction. It has always been my conviction that the spasmodic and haphazard collecting so far undertaken has not exhausted the molluscan species to be found in the deeper waters of South- eastern Australia. Only two large single collections have been made; first by the vessel " Challenger " in 1874 at Station 162 off East Moncoeur Island in 38 fathoms. These collections were described in the " Challenger " reports by Rev. Boog. Watson (Gastropoda) and E. A. Smith (Pelecypoda). In the latter was included a description of a shell Thracia watsoni not since taken in Victoria though dredged by Mr. David Howlett off St. Francis Island, South Australia. In 1910 the F. I. S. " Endeavour " made a number of hauls both north and south of Gabo Island and off Cape Everard. The u results of this collecting can be found in the Endeavour " reports. T. Iredale, 1924, published the results of shore and dredging collections made by Roy Bell. Since this time continued haphazard collecting has been carried out mostly as a hobby by trawler fishermen either for their own interest or on behalf of interested friends. Although some of this material has reached the hands of competent workers, over the years the recording of new species has probably been delayed.

[email protected] Abstract: Many freshwater molluscan species are at the risk, due to loss and degradation of aquatic habitats by anthropogenic activities. They were frequently considered as a bioindicator organisms,and there productivity play important link in food chain of aquatic fauna . In present study molluscan species were collected from Saigata lake near Bramhapuri from July 2014 to December 2014. During the present investigation, a total of 19 molluscan taxa belonging to 2 classes, viz., gastropoda and bivalvia, 14 families were recorded. Out of the 19 species, 15 gastropods and 4 bivalves we re recorded. Among the gastropoda group, Pila globosa was most dominant followed by viviparous Bengalensis, lymnaea acuminate , Lymnea auricularia , among bivalvia the dominant species was Pisidium personatum, followe d by, Lamellidens marginalis , Pisidium casertanum and Unio crassus . The study indicates that the molluscan community could be explored for possible use as biomonitors of pollution in the lake. Keywords : mollusca, gastropoda, bivalvia, biomonitor, saigata. Introduction that molluscs are bio-indicators of freshwater Se veral investigation were undertaken pollution.

  • The Morphology and Ontogenetic of Tarebia Granifera (Lamarck, 1822) from Indonesia (Gastropoda: Cerithioidea: Thiaridae) Abstr
    Treubia 44: 1–14, December 2017 THE MORPHOLOGY AND ONTOGENETIC OF TAREBIA GRANIFERA (LAMARCK, 1822) FROM INDONESIA (GASTROPODA: CERITHIOIDEA: THIARIDAE) Nur Rohmatin Isnaningsih*1,2, Adi Basukriadi1 and Ristiyanti Marsetiyowati Marwoto2 1 Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Indonesia 2 Zoology Division (Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense), Research Center for Biology, Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Jl. Raya Jakarta-Bogor Km 46, Cibinong, Bogor 16911, Indonesia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: 14 November 2016; Accepted: 2 November 2017 ABSTRACT The freshwater gastropod Tarebia H. Adams & A. Adams, 1854, are found in rivers, lakes, and other limnetic habitats. In Indonesia, Tarebia granifera (Lamarck, 1822) is the only species within the genus that has a wide distribution. The systematics and identity of this species are still doubtful due to high variation in shell morphology, especially shell height and ornamentation or sculpture of shell. To determine the identity of T. granifera from Lombok, Banten, and Maros, ontogenetic studies have been conducted. The results showed that T. granifera from Lombok produce the highest number of embryonic shells. The number of progeny in the brood pouch from a single individual of T. granifera can vary between 9 to 203 embryonic shells which are found in various stages of 0.22 mm to about 5 mm in size inside the brood pouch. Key words: embryonic shell, ontogeny, subhaemocoelic brood pouch, Tarebia granifera, Thiaridae INTRODUCTION Tarebia granifera (Lamarck, 1822) (Thiaridae) occurs in freshwater bodies, in lotic as well as lentic habitats. This species belongs to benthic fauna and lives attached to different kinds of substrate or on the banks of aquatic habitats.
