    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.

Traditionally viewed as the study of geographic distributions, modern biogeography now explores a great diversity of patterns in the geographic variation of nature – from physiological, morphological and genetic variation among individulas and populations to differences in the diversity and composition of biotas along geographic gradients.

Hope College, 2000 M.S. University of Cincinnati, 2003 Advisor: Dr. Arnold I. Miller Committee Members: Dr. Carlton E. Brett Dr. David L. Meyer Dr. Linda C. Ivany Dr. Richard B. Aronson Abstract Marine death assemblages typically reflect the ecological and environmental signatures of the settings in which they are deposited. Comparatively little is known, however, about the effects of environmental change on death assemblages or with what acuity past changes might be preserved, by proxy, in sedimentary deposits. This study assesses the response of present-day molluscan death assemblages, both among surface sediments and stratigraphically, to an instance of anthropogenic environmental change along a carbonate bank. Additionally, I investigate whether body size changes can be recognized among death assemblages as a component of a broader response to changing environmental conditions.
