  • The Ultrastructure of Spermatozoa and Spermiogenesis in Pyramidellid Gastropods, and Its Systematic Importance John M
    HELGOLANDER MEERESUNTERSUCHUNGEN Helgol~inder Meeresunters. 42,303-318 (1988) The ultrastructure of spermatozoa and spermiogenesis in pyramidellid gastropods, and its systematic importance John M. Healy School of Biological Sciences (Zoology, A08), University of Sydney; 2006, New South Wales, Australia ABSTRACT: Ultrastructural observations on spermiogenesis and spermatozoa of selected pyramidellid gastropods (species of Turbonilla, ~gulina, Cingufina and Hinemoa) are presented. During spermatid development, the condensing nucleus becomes initially anterio-posteriorly com- pressed or sometimes cup-shaped. Concurrently, the acrosomal complex attaches to an electron- dense layer at the presumptive anterior pole of the nucleus, while at the opposite (posterior) pole of the nucleus a shallow invagination is formed to accommodate the centriolar derivative. Midpiece formation begins soon after these events have taken place, and involves the following processes: (1) the wrapping of individual mitochondria around the axoneme/coarse fibre complex; (2) later internal metamorphosis resulting in replacement of cristae by paracrystalline layers which envelope the matrix material; and (3) formation of a glycogen-filled helix within the mitochondrial derivative (via a secondary wrapping of mitochondria). Advanced stages of nuclear condensation {elongation, transformation of fibres into lamellae, subsequent compaction) and midpiece formation proceed within a microtubular sheath ('manchette'). Pyramidellid spermatozoa consist of an acrosomal complex (round

  • Phenotypic Features of Helicina Variabilis (Gastropoda: Neritimorpha) from Minas Gerais, Brazil
    Phenotypic features of Helicina variabilis (Gastropoda: Neritimorpha) from Minas Gerais, Brazil Luiz Ricardo L. Simone¹ ¹ Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Museu de Zoologia (MZUSP). São Paulo, SP, Brasil. ORCID: 0000-0002-1397-9823. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Helicina variabilis Wagner, 1827 (Neritimorpha, Helicinidae) is redescribed based on a sample collected in Nanuque, northern Minas Gerais, Brazil. The species description, previously based only on the shell, is expanded to the phenotypic fea- tures. The study revealed absorption of the internal shell whorls; a diaphragm muscle connected to the floor of the pallial cav- ity; a monoaulic pallial oviduct, with the female genital aperture inside the anal aperture, and the lack of a seminal receptacle and provaginal sac; and the pleural ganglia of the nerve ring connected with each other. The significance of these findings is discussed in the light of current taxonomic and phylogenetic knowledge. Key-Words. Atlantic Rainforest; Helicinidae; Anatomy; Morphology; Phenotype.

Canadian Field-Naturalist 133(4): 313–324. https://doi.org/10.22621/cfn.v133i4.2217 Abstract Less than 5% of the original tall grass prairie in North America remains. A portion of this remnant, composed of wetland, grassland and forest, is protected by the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) in southern Manitoba. This heterogene- ous ecosystem has rich biodiversity; however, gastropods have not been surveyed in Canada’s tall grass prairie. We studied gastropods in Prairie, Wet Meadow, Forest, and Wet Forest habitats of the Manitoba Tall Grass Prairie Preserve that vary with respect to land management practices (prescribed burning, grazing by cattle). Gastropod community composition was unique in the Prairie where mounds of grass litter form permanently moist cavities harbouring aquatic species, while dry-habitat species colonized the upper parts of these mounds. Gastropod communities in Prairie habitats were negatively affected by grazing and burning that occurred in the five years prior to our survey.

  • Land Snails and Slugs (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda and Pulmonata) of Two National Parks Along the Potomac River Near Washington, District of Columbia
    Banisteria, Number 43, pages 3-20 © 2014 Virginia Natural History Society Land Snails and Slugs (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda and Pulmonata) of Two National Parks along the Potomac River near Washington, District of Columbia Brent W. Steury U.S. National Park Service 700 George Washington Memorial Parkway Turkey Run Park Headquarters McLean, Virginia 22101 Timothy A. Pearce Carnegie Museum of Natural History 4400 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213-4080 ABSTRACT The land snails and slugs (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda and Pulmonata) of two national parks along the Potomac River in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia were surveyed in 2010 and 2011. A total of 64 species was documented accounting for 60 new county or District records. Paralaoma servilis (Shuttleworth) and Zonitoides nitidus (Müller) are recorded for the first time from Virginia and Euconulus polygyratus (Pilsbry) is confirmed from the state. Previously unreported growth forms of Punctum smithi Morrison and Stenotrema barbatum (Clapp) are described. Key words: District of Columbia, Euconulus polygyratus, Gastropoda, land snails, Maryland, national park, Paralaoma servilis, Punctum smithi, Stenotrema barbatum, Virginia, Zonitoides nitidus. INTRODUCTION Although county-level distributions of native land gastropods have been published for the eastern United Land snails and slugs (Gastropoda: Caeno- States (Hubricht, 1985), and for the District of gastropoda and Pulmonata) represent a large portion of Columbia and Maryland (Grimm, 1971a), and Virginia the terrestrial invertebrate fauna with estimates ranging (Beetle, 1973), no published records exist specific to between 30,000 and 35,000 species worldwide (Solem, the areas inventoried during this study, which covered 1984), including at least 523 native taxa in the eastern select national park sites along the Potomac River in United States (Hubricht, 1985).

A Phylogenetic Analysis of Polygyridae (Gastropoda: Pulmonata) Based on Mitochondrial DNA Sequence Data Nicholas Defreitas University Honors Program Senior Thesis Introduction Despite the increasing use of molecular methods to determine evolutionary relationships among taxa, molecular sequence data have never been used to assess the relationships among the polygyrid snails (Gastropoda:Pulmonata:Polygyridae). This is surprising, considering how large, charismatic and common they are. Polygyrids range across North America, going as far north as parts of Canada and south as Mexico and even deeper into Central America (Pilsbry 1940). There is a particular concentration of these snails in the Appalachian Mountains, where they primarily serve as detritivores and prey for various woodland vertebrates in forest habitats. Yet despite the broad geographic distribution and high abundance of polygyrids in many forest habitats, there is still little known about their phylogeny (evolutionary relationships). Polygyrids are broadly distributed across North America. Mesodontini and Triodopsini are both found in eastern North America (Hubricht 1985).

  • Speciation and Gene Flow Between Snails of Opposite Chirality

Barton2,4, Bryan Clarke3 1 Graduate School of Life Sciences, Tohoku University, Aramaki-Aza-Aoba, Aoba-ku, Japan, 2 Institute of Evolutionary Biology, School of Biological Sciences, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom, 3 Institute of Genetics, School of Biology, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom, 4 Department of Genetics, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom Left-right asymmetry in snails is intriguing because individuals of opposite chirality are either unable to mate or can only mate with difficulty, so could be reproductively isolated from each other. We have therefore investigated chiral evolution in the Japanese land snail genus Euhadra to understand whether changes in chirality have promoted speciation. In particular, we aimed to understand the effect of the maternal inheritance of chirality on reproductive isolation and gene flow. We found that the mitochondrial DNA phylogeny of Euhadra is consistent with a single, relatively ancient evolution of sinistral species and suggests either recent ‘‘single-gene speciation’’ or gene flow between chiral morphs that are unable to mate. To clarify the conditions under which new chiral morphs might evolve and whether single-gene speciation can occur, we developed a mathematical model that is relevant to any maternal- effect gene. The model shows that reproductive character displacement can promote the evolution of new chiral morphs, tending to counteract the positive frequency-dependent selection that would otherwise drive the more common chiral morph to fixation.
