  • First Observation and Range Extension of the Nudibranch Tenellia Catachroma (Burn, 1963) in Western Australia (Mollusca: Gastropoda)
    CSIRO Publishing The Royal Society of Victoria, 129, 37–40, 2017 www.publish.csiro.au/journals/rs 10.1071/RS17003 A VICTORIAN EMIGRANT: FIRST OBSERVATION AND RANGE EXTENSION OF THE NUDIBRANCH TENELLIA CATACHROMA (BURN, 1963) IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA (MOLLUSCA: GASTROPODA) Matt J. NiMbs National Marine Science Centre, Southern Cross University, PO Box 4321, Coffs Harbour, NSW 2450, Australia Correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The southwest coast of Western Australia is heavily influenced by the south-flowing Leeuwin Current. In summer, the current shifts and the north-flowing Capes Current delivers water from the south to nearshore environments and with it a supply of larvae from cooler waters. The nudibranch Tenellia catachroma (Burn, 1963) was considered restricted to Victorian waters; however, its discovery in eastern South Australia in 2013 revealed its capacity to expand its range west. In March 2017 a single individual was observed in shallow subtidal waters at Cape Peron, Western Australia, some 2000 km to the west of its previous range limit. Moreover, its distribution has extended northwards, possibly aided by the Capes Current, into a location of warming. This observation significantly increases the range for this Victorian emigrant to encompass most of the southern Australian coast, and also represents an equatorward shift at a time when the reverse is expected. Keywords: climate change, Cape Peron, range extension, Leeuwin Current, Capes Current The fionid nudibranch Tenellia catachroma (Burn, 1963) first found in southern NSW in 1979 (Rudman 1998), has was first described from two specimens found at Point been observed only a handful of times since and was also Danger, near Torquay, Victoria, in 1961 (Burn 1963).

POWELL3 Friday HarborLaboratories, 620 UniversityRd., Friday Harbor, Washington 98250 andBamfieldMarineStation, Bamfield, British Columbia VORJBO,Canada ABSTRACT Repugnatorial glands located in the marginal papillae of the intertidal ochidiid pulmonate Onchidella borealis secrete a viscous fluid in response to mechanical or chemical stimulation. In laboratory encounters, this fluid repels intertidal predatory asteroids, particularly Leptasterias hexactis, but not predatory gastropods, polyclad turbellarians, nemerteans, or fishes. Intertidal crabs consume dead 0. borealis readily, but seldom consume living individuals capable of firing their glands. The vertical range of 0. borealis overlaps that of L. hexactis, whereas limpets that are vulnerable to predation by the sea stars generally live higher on the shore. On a small scale, 0. borealis and L. hexactis occupy similar microhabitats (e.g., crevices, algal holdfasts), but are seldom found together. Field and laboratory experiments suggest that this negative spatial correlation may result from expulsion of the sea stars by onchidiids. INTRODUCTION Many marine gastropods lacking protective shells have evolved alternative de fenses such as incorporation of cnidarian nematocysts, distasteful chemicals, and aposematic or cryptic coloration.

Aplysia gigantea toxicosis in 72 dogs RE Peacock*, G Hosgood, KL Swindells and L Smart * Corresponding author School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences, Murdoch University, 90 South Street, Murdoch, Western Australia, 6150; [email protected] Objectives This study aims to: 1) confirm a temporal association between exposure to the sea hare Aplysia gigantea and the development of a neurotoxicosis in dogs, 2) further characterise the clinical signs in dogs with this suspected toxicosis, and 3) report the treatment and outcome of dogs with this suspected toxicosis. Method The medical records from four veterinary practices within the Geraldton region of Australia were searched for dogs that had been exposed to Aplysia gigantea and were subsequently presented to a veterinarian during the period of January 2001 to March 2011. Signalment, exposure history, clinical signs, treatment and outcome were recorded. Results Seventy-two dogs met the inclusion criteria. Clinical signs included ptyalism, emesis, ataxia, hyperaesthesia, tremors, muscle fasciculations, seizures, nystagmus and respiratory distress. Thirty dogs did not have abnormal clinical signs at presentation. Sixty-nine dogs presented during January to April.
