    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.

A few minute Belgrandiella-like gastropods were found in three springs in Georgia. Molecular markers: mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and nuclear histone (H3) were used to infer their phylogenetic relationships. The phylogenetic trees placed them most closely to Agrafia from continental Greece. The p-distances indicated that two species occurred in the three localities. Two specimens from Andros Island (Greece) were also assigned to the genus Agrafia. The p-distances between the four taxa, most probably each representing a distinct species, were within the range of 0.026–0.043 for H3, and 0.089–0.118 for COI. KEY WORDS: spring snail, DNA, Georgia, Andros, phylogeny INTRODUCTION The freshwater gastropods of Georgia, as well as Graziana Radoman, 1975, Pontobelgrandiella Radoman, those of all the Caucasus, are still poorly studied; this 1973, and Alzoniella Giusti et Bodon, 1984.

An interesting stygobiont gastropod species was found in several springs feeding the Cetina River in the SW. part of Sinj Basin in Croatia. Its shell resembled the ones of moitessieriid genera Paladilhiopsis, Bythiospeum, or Iglica. Analyses of COI and H3 markers placed it close to the hydrobiid Montenegrospeum bogici Pesic et Gloer, 2012 from central Montenegro.

Benghazi- Libya *Aisha. Amera, Fatma. El-Toumib a Biotechnology, College of Sciences, University of Sebha, Libya b Zoology, College of Sciences, University of Benghazi, Libya *Corresponding Author: ais. [email protected] Abstract The taxonomical study of macroinvertebrates in Ain Zayana lagoon was shown four phyla: Nematoda, Annelida, Mollusca and Arthropoda, 28 families and 36 genera. Nematoda represent one species and three species of Annelida. Mollusca include eighteen species, three of them belong to Bivalvia and fifteen species to Gastropoda. Arthropoda which include thirteen families, six species of Insecta and eight species of Crustacea. Keywords: Ain Zayanah, lagoon, Libya, Macroinvertebrates, Phyla. 2 1 1 2 [email protected]: Introduction Lagoon ecosystems are common feature around the Mediterranean southern coasts. Among other features, Libyan costal includes four big coastal lagoon systems: Farwa in the west, while Ain Zayanah, Khalige Al-Bomba lagoon and Ain Al- Ghazalah cove are present in the eastern region of Libya [1], Ain Zayanah being the largest [2]. Several studies have been conducted on the physic-chemical properties of Farwa lagoon [3-5], but only preliminary reports have been presented on Ain Zayanah [6], [2] and [7]. The objective of the present study is to classify and indentify macroinvertebrates in Ain Zayanah Lagoon. 2.
