  • 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.

For this purpose, the material collected from the area between the years 2005 and 2009, within the framework of different projects, was investigated. The investigation of the material taken from various biotopes ranging at depths between 0 and 100 m resulted in identification of 286 mollusc species and 27542 specimens belonging to them. Among the encountered species, Vitreolina cf. perminima (Jeffreys, 1883) is new record for the Turkish molluscan fauna and 18 species are being new records for the Turkish Levantine coast. A checklist of Iskenderun mollusc fauna is given based on the present study and the studies carried out beforehand, and a total of 424 moluscan species are known to be distributed in Iskenderun Bay.

ABSTRACT The tip of the South American cone is one of the most interesting Subantarctic areas, both biogeographically and ecologically. Nonetheless, knowledge of the area’s biodiversity, in particular that of the subtidal marine habitats, remains poor. Therefore, in 2004, a biodiversity research project was carried out as a part of the cruise Cimar-10 Fjords, organized and supported by the Chilean National Oceanographic Committee (CONA). The results of the subtidal marine mollusk surveys are presented herein. The samples were collected aboard the Agor 60 “Vidal Gormaz” in winter 2004. The study area covered the northern Chilean Patagonia from Seno de Relocanví (41º31’S) to Boca del Guafo (43º49’S), on the continental shelf from 22 to 353 m depth. The Mollusca were collected at 23 sampling sites using an Agassiz trawl. In total, 67

  • Molluscs of Christmas Island
    Records of the Western Australian Museum Supplement No. 59: 103-115 (2000). MOLLUSCS OF CHRISTMAS ISLAND Fred E. Wells and Shirley M. Slack-Smith Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000, Australia Christmas Island is towards the lower end of sources. Maes considered that the paucity of species species diversity for similar coral reef surveys was largely due to the great distances over which undertaken by the Western Australian Museum . planktonic larvae would have to be carried from (Table 8), with a total of 313 species of molluscs areas of similar habitats, further complicated by collected (Table 9). Mollusc diversity was greater at apparently adverse winds and currents. Christmas Island than the 261 species collected at Of the 313 species collected at Christmas Island, Rowley Shoals and the 279 collected at Seott Reef in 245 were gastropods (78.3%) and 63 were bivalves 1984, but fewer than the 433 collected at Ashmore (20.1 %). No scaphopods, only three species of chitons Reef in 1986. However, with 15 collecting days and two of cephalopods were collected although compared to the maximum of 12 on Ashmore Reef other cephalopod species were seen. This breakdown and the fact that there were three people primarily of the fauna is almost identical to the results from the interested in molluscs on Christmas Island as northwestern shelf-edge atolls of Western Australia, opposed to two on the other expeditions, the where 77.3% of the total of 581 species collected were molluscan fauna of Christmas Island can be seen to gastropods and 20.7% were bivalves (Wells, 1994).

ZooKeys 963: 1–36. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.963.52234 Abstract An increase in richness of benthic marine mollusks towards high latitudes has been described on the Pacific coast of Chile in recent decades. This considerable increase in diversity occurs specifically at the beginning of the Magellanic Biogeographic Province. Within this province lies the Strait of Magellan, considered the most important channel because it connects the South Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. These characteristics make it an interesting area for marine research; thus, the Strait of Magellan has histori- cally been the area with the greatest research effort within the province.
