Findings are compared to historical studies, 52 focusing on extensive surveys from the 1960s and 1970s. Molluscan species of public health 53 significance are identified based on their potential as vectors of algal toxins in light of the recent 54 occurrence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the region. Habitats sampled included intertidal 55 sand or gravel beaches, rocks and jetties, sheltered soft-sediment flats and mangroves, and shallow 56 subtidal coral reefs.

    PHYLOGENY AND HISTORICAL BIOGEOGRAPHY OF LIMPETS OF THE ORDER PATELLOGASTROPODA BASED ON MITOCHONDRIAL DNA SEQUENCES TOMOYUKI NAKANO AND TOMOWO OZAWA Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Nagoya University, Nagoya 464-8602,Japan (Received 29 March 2003; accepted 6June 2003) ABSTRACT Using new and previously published sequences of two mitochondrial genes (fragments of 12S and 16S ribosomal RNA; total 700 sites), we constructed a molecular phylogeny for 86 extant species, covering a major part of the order Patellogastropoda. There were 35 lottiid, one acmaeid, five nacellid and two patellid species from the western and northern Pacific; and 34 patellid, six nacellid and three lottiid species from the Atlantic, southern Africa, Antarctica and Australia. Emarginula foveolata fujitai (Fissurellidae) was used as the outgroup. In the resulting phylogenetic trees, the species fall into two major clades with high bootstrap support, designated here as (A) a clade of southern Tethyan origin consisting of superfamily Patelloidea and (B) a clade of tropical Tethyan origin consisting of the Acmaeoidea. Clades A and B were further divided into three and six subclades, respectively, which correspond with geographical distributions of species in the following genus or genera: (AÍ) north­ eastern Atlantic (Patella ); (A2) southern Africa and Australasia ( Scutellastra , Cymbula-and Helcion)', (A3) Antarctic, western Pacific, Australasia ( Nacella and Cellana); (BÍ) western to northwestern Pacific (.Patelloida); (B2) northern Pacific and northeastern Atlantic ( Lottia); (B3) northern Pacific (Lottia and Yayoiacmea); (B4) northwestern Pacific ( Nipponacmea); (B5) northern Pacific (Acmaea-’ânà Niveotectura) and (B6) northeastern Atlantic ( Tectura). Approximate divergence times were estimated using geo­ logical events and the fossil record to determine a reference date.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF BENTHIC MOLLUSCS ALONG A DEPTH GRADIENT IN THE BAHAMAS Michael Joseph Dowgiallo, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Marjorie L. Reaka-Kudla Department of Biology, UMCP Species richness and abundance of benthic bivalve and gastropod molluscs was determined over a depth gradient of 5 - 244 m at Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas by deploying replicate benthic collectors at five sites at 5 m, 14 m, 46 m, 153 m, and 244 m for six months beginning in December 1993. A total of 773 individual molluscs comprising at least 72 taxa were retrieved from the collectors. Analysis of the molluscan fauna that colonized the collectors showed overwhelmingly higher abundance and diversity at the 5 m, 14 m, and 46 m sites as compared to the deeper sites at 153 m and 244 m. Irradiance, temperature, and habitat heterogeneity all declined with depth, coincident with declines in the abundance and diversity of the molluscs. Herbivorous modes of feeding predominated (52%) and carnivorous modes of feeding were common (44%) over the range of depths studied at Lee Stocking Island, but mode of feeding did not change significantly over depth. One bivalve and one gastropod species showed a significant decline in body size with increasing depth. Analysis of data for 960 species of gastropod molluscs from the Western Atlantic Gastropod Database of the Academy of Natural Sciences (ANS) that have ranges including the Bahamas showed a positive correlation between body size of species of gastropods and their geographic ranges. There was also a positive correlation between depth range and the size of the geographic range.

  • Tidal Dynamics, Topographic Orientation, and Temperature-Mediated Mass Mortalities on Rocky Shores
    Vol. 371: 37–46, 2008 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published November 19 doi: 10.3354/meps07711 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Tidal dynamics, topographic orientation, and temperature-mediated mass mortalities on rocky shores Christopher D. G. Harley* Bodega Marine Laboratory, PO Box 247, Bodega Bay, California 94923, USA Present address: University of British Columbia, Department of Zoology, 6270 University Blvd., Vancouver, British Columbia V6T1Z4, Canada ABSTRACT: Temperature is among the main structuring agents on rocky intertidal shores. Although infrequent mortality events associated with high temperatures have been observed in several inter- tidal taxa, careful documentation of these events is rare, and small-scale variability in mortality patterns remains poorly understood. In Bodega Bay, California, USA, 2 mortality events occurred on exposed rocky shores during the spring of 2004 when low tides occurred around mid-day. Limpets Lottia scabra were killed during unseasonably warm weather in mid-March. In late April, record- high temperatures resulted in widespread mortality of the mussel Mytilus californianus. Levels of mortality for both species were closely associated with small-scale variability in temperature, which in turn was closely associated with substratum orientation. Invertebrates occupying surfaces facing the sun when stress was most intense were much more likely to die than those living on surfaces angled ≥45° away. Because the within-day timing of thermal stress varied seasonally, the highest mortalities were recorded on southwest-facing surfaces on the March afternoon low tide and on southeast-facing surfaces on the April morning low tide. Limpets and mussels showed little mortality during the events that were harmful to the other taxon, suggesting that these different taxa respond to different aspects of their thermal environment.

ABSTRACT The family Neritidae has representatives in tropical and subtropical regions that occur in a variety of environments, and its known fossil record dates back to the late Cretaceous. However there have been few studies of molecular phylogeny in this family. We performed a phylogenetic reconstruction of the family Neritidae using the COI (722 bp) and the 16S rRNA (559 bp) regions of the mitochondrial genome. Neighbor-joining, maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference were performed. The best phylogenetic reconstruction was obtained using the COI region, and we consider it an appropriate marker for phylogenetic studies within the group. Consensus analysis (COI +16S rRNA) generally obtained the same tree topologies and confirmed that the genus Nerita is monophyletic. The consensus analysis using parsimony recovered a monophyletic group consisting of the genera Neritina , Septaria , Theodoxus , Puperita , and Clithon , while in the Bayesian analyses Theodoxus is separated from the other genera.

  • Studies on Molluscan Shells: Contributions from Microscopic and Analytical Methods
    Micron 40 (2009) 669–690 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Micron journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/micron Review Studies on molluscan shells: Contributions from microscopic and analytical methods Silvia Maria de Paula, Marina Silveira * Instituto de Fı´sica, Universidade de Sa˜o Paulo, 05508-090 Sa˜o Paulo, SP, Brazil ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: Molluscan shells have always attracted the interest of researchers, from biologists to physicists, from Received 25 April 2007 paleontologists to materials scientists. Much information is available at present, on the elaborate Received in revised form 7 May 2009 architecture of the shell, regarding the various Mollusc classes. The crystallographic characterization of Accepted 10 May 2009 the different shell layers, as well as their physical and chemical properties have been the subject of several investigations. In addition, many researches have addressed the characterization of the biological Keywords: component of the shell and the role it plays in the hard exoskeleton assembly, that is, the Mollusca biomineralization process. All these topics have seen great advances in the last two or three decades, Shell microstructures expanding our knowledge on the shell properties, in terms of structure, functions and composition. This Electron microscopy Infrared spectroscopy involved the use of a range of specialized and modern techniques, integrating microscopic methods with X-ray diffraction biochemistry, molecular biology procedures and spectroscopy. However, the factors governing synthesis Electron diffraction of a specific crystalline carbonate phase in any particular layer of the shell and the interplay between organic and inorganic components during the biomineral assembly are still not widely known. This present survey deals with microstructural aspects of molluscan shells, as disclosed through use of scanning electron microscopy and related analytical methods (microanalysis, X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction and infrared spectroscopy).

    Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas y Costeras Boletín de Investigaciones Marinas y Costeras ISSN 0122-9761 “José Benito Vives de Andréis” Bulletin of Marine and Coastal Research Santa Marta, Colombia, 2018 47 (1), 45-66 Fauna asociada a la pesquería de Arca Zebra (Mollusca Bivalvia: Arcidae) en Venezuela Fauna associated with the fishing of Arca Zebra (Mollusca Bivalvia: Arcidae) in Venezuela Roberto Díaz-Fermín, Vanessa Acosta-Balbás Departamento de Biología, Laboratorio de Ecología. Escuela de Ciencias. Universidad de Oriente, Cumana, Venezuela. [email protected], [email protected] RESUMEN rca zebra, constituye uno de los recursos pesqueros de mayor impacto económico en el nororiente de Venezuela, ya que forma bancos de importancia comercial. Durante un periodo de nueve meses (mayo 2010- agosto 2011) se identificó, cuantificó y describió la estructura comunitaria de los organismos provenientes de la pesquería de arrastre efectuada por los pescadores de la zona; así mismo, se calculó la Abiomasa y abundancia de los diferentes grupos taxonómicos para realizar Curvas de Comparación Abundancia-Biomasa (ABC), con el objetivo de determinar el grado de afectación por la actividad de arrastre. En total se contabilizaron 3 249 organismos, pertenecientes a 130 especies, agrupadas en cinco Phylla: Mollusca, Annelida, Arthropoda, Echinodermata y Chordata. La diversidad total de Sanders fue de 122.9. Entre los taxones más diversos se encontraron los moluscos (70.87) y poliquetos (29.91). Los moluscos presentaron la mayor abundancia, seguidos de los poliquetos, crustáceos, equinodermos y ascidias. El mayor aporte en biomasa la mostraron los moluscos y equinodermos. Las especies constantes fueron: Mithraculus forceps, Phallucia nigra, Echinometra lucunter, Eunice rubra y Pinctada imbricata.
