Compositional Variability of Pleistocene Land Snail Assemblages Preserved in a Cinder Cone
Compositional variability of Pleistocene land snail assemblages preserved in a cinder cone volcano from Tenerife, Canary Islands A thesis submitted to the graduate school of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In the Department of Geology of the College of Arts and Sciences by Elizabeth M. Bullard B.S., Muskingum University, 2012 July 2016 Advisors: Dr. Yurena Yanes Dr. Arnold I. Miller Committee Member: Dr. Joshua Miller i Abstract Fossil assemblage faunal compositions may vary through space and time in response to climatic and/or taphonomic factors, but these relationships can be difficult to diagnose and disentangle. Here, we investigate how to disentangle climatic and taphonomic signals of a land- snail-rich volcanic scoria sequence to asses if it was influenced by taphonomic bias, climate change, or both, using a multifaceted approach, combining taphonomic, ecological, body-size, and stable-isotope data. Fossil assemblages were sampled from two beds (Units A and B) in a Pleistocene cinder cone volcano of southern Tenerife (Canary Islands), dated to the glacial interval MIS 8 (~299-302 ka). The two units differed in taphonomy, species composition, and abundance distributions. The upper unit, B (6 species), showed higher snail diversity and shell concentration and lower taphonomic alteration than the lower unit, A (3 species). Furthermore, larger bodied species (length>10mm) dominated Unit A and were better preserved than smaller species (length<10mm), whereas smaller individuals were more abundant (and better preserved) at Unit B. These differences were likely impacted by physical differences in the matrices surrounding the fossils. -

293 – Les Noms Scientifiques Français Des Mollusques Continentaux De
LES NOMS SCIENTIFIQUES FRANÇAIS DES MOLLUSQUES CONTINENTAUX DE FRANCE : processus d’ÉtABLISSEMENT d’une LISTE DE RÉFÉRENCE Benoît FONTAINE 1, Jean-Michel BICHAIN 2, Xavier CUCHERAT 3, Olivier GAR G OMINY 4 & Vincent PRIÉ 5 SUMMARY. — French scientific names of continental molluscs of France: process for establishing a list of reference. — In the biodiversity crisis context and with the increasing general awareness on this issue, conservation of small and poorly-known species is hampered by the fact they only have latine names. In order to communicate for biodiversity conservation, having French names is an advantage which is lacking in terrestrial and freshwater molluscs from France. To remedy this problem, we propose a list of French scientific names for this group, i.e. all species and subspecies known from France. We have listed existing names in legal documents, in usage and in the 18th and 19th centuries scientific literature. The resulting list being incomplete, we had to create new French names, following a series of recommendations adapted from similar works dealing with other taxonomic groups. We conclude by dealing with the issue of the legitimacy and validity of such names. The list of French scientific names is given as an appendix and is downloadable from internet. RÉSUMÉ. — Dans le contexte de la crise de la biodiversité et de la prise de conscience par le grand public des enjeux environnementaux, la conservation des espèces petites et méconnues est handicapée par le fait que ces espèces ne peuvent être désignées que par leur nom latin. Dans une optique de communication pour la préservation de la biodiversité, disposer de nom français est un atout qui fait défaut pour les mol- lusques terrestres et d’eau douce de France. -

An Annotated List of the Non-Marine Mollusca of Britain and Ireland
JOURNAL OF CONCHOLOGY (2005), VOL.38, NO .6 607 AN ANNOTATED LIST OF THE NON-MARINE MOLLUSCA OF BRITAIN AND IRELAND ROY ANDERSON1 Abstract An updated nomenclatural list of the non-marine Mollusca of the Britain and Ireland is provided. This updates all previous lists and revises nomenclature and classification in the context of recent changes and of new European lists, including the Clecom List. Cases are made for the usage of names in the List by means of annotations. The List will provide a basis for the future census and cataloguing of the fauna of Britain and Ireland. Key words Taxonomic, list, nomenclature, non-marine, Mollusca, Britain, Ireland, annotated. INTRODUCTION There has been a need for some time to modernise the list of non-marine Mollusca for Britain and Ireland, a subject last visited in this journal in 1976 (Waldén 1976; Kerney 1976). Many of the changes that have appeared in the literature since then are contentious and Kerney (1999) chose not to incorporate many of these into the latest atlas of non-marine Mollusca of Britain and Ireland. A new European List, the Clecom List (Falkner et al. 2001) has now appeared and it seems appropriate to examine in more detail constituent changes which might affect the British and Irish faunas. This is given additional urgency by the inception of a new census of the molluscs of Britain and Ireland by the Conchological Society. Recorders in the Society are aware of many of the proposed changes but unable to implement them without general agreement. In addition, many field malacologists make use of the recording package RECORDER, a recent form of which has been developed jointly by JNCC and the National Biodiversity Network in the United Kingdom. -
On the Specific Validity of Rupestrella Jaeckeli Beckmann, 2002 (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Chondrinidae)
Biodiversity Journal, 2011, 2 (4): 213-216 On the specific validity of Rupestrella jaeckeli Beckmann, 2002 (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Chondrinidae) Walter Renda1, Marco Bodon2 & Gianbattista Nardi3 1Via Bologna 18/a, 87032 Amantea (CS), Italy. 2Dipartimento di Scienze Ambientali dell'Università di Siena, Via Mattioli 4, 53100 Siena, Italy. 3Via Sorzana 43, 25080 Nuvolera (BS), Italy. Corresponding author: W. Renda, email: [email protected]. ABSTRACT After studying the shells of a large population of Rupestrella jaeckeli Beckmann, 2002, located ESE of Agrigento (southern Sicily), near the type locality, a complete correspondence of characters with Rupestrella philippii (Cantraine, 1840) was observed; the latter has already been known to occur in central-eastern Sicily as well as other Mediterranean areas. Synonymy is therefore proposed between the two taxa: R. jaeckeli should be more properly considered a junior synonym of R. philippii. KEY WORDS Rupestrella jaeckeli, R. philippii, southern Sicily, taxonomy. Received 30.11.2011; accepted 15.12.2011; printed 30.12.2011 INTRODUCTION More recently, Beckmann (2002) has revised the Rupestrella species endemic to Sicily, proceeding to The genus Rupestrella Monterosato, 1894, confirm the subspecific level of some taxa described includes xeroresistant and calciphilic molluscs historically (R. homala homala (Westerlund, 1892); inhabiting calcareous rocks, distributed in the R. occulta gibilfunnensis (De Gregorio, 1895); R. Mediterranean region (Gittenberger, 1973, 1984; rupestris coloba (Pilsbry, 1918)), and describing Holyoak & Seddon, 1986; Burgos & Gittenberger, some new subspecies (R. homala falkneri 1994; Beckmann, 1997; Bank, 2011).
