In summer 2013, the trophic relationships within a kelp belt food web in Kongsfjorden (Spitsbergen) were determined using fatty acid and stable isotope analyses. Low relative proportions of Phaeophyta fatty acid trophic markers (i.e. 20:4(n-6), 18:3(n-3) and 18:2(n-6)) in consumers (3.3−8.9%), as well as low 20:4(n-6)/20:5(n-3) ratios (<0.1−0.6), indicated that Phaeophyta were poorly used by macro- zoobenthos as a food source, either fresh or as detritus.

  • 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.

  • THE LISTING of PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T
    August 2017 Guido T. Poppe A LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS - V1.00 THE LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T. Poppe INTRODUCTION The publication of Philippine Marine Mollusks, Volumes 1 to 4 has been a revelation to the conchological community. Apart from being the delight of collectors, the PMM started a new way of layout and publishing - followed today by many authors. Internet technology has allowed more than 50 experts worldwide to work on the collection that forms the base of the 4 PMM books. This expertise, together with modern means of identification has allowed a quality in determinations which is unique in books covering a geographical area. Our Volume 1 was published only 9 years ago: in 2008. Since that time “a lot” has changed. Finally, after almost two decades, the digital world has been embraced by the scientific community, and a new generation of young scientists appeared, well acquainted with text processors, internet communication and digital photographic skills. Museums all over the planet start putting the holotypes online – a still ongoing process – which saves taxonomists from huge confusion and “guessing” about how animals look like. Initiatives as Biodiversity Heritage Library made accessible huge libraries to many thousands of biologists who, without that, were not able to publish properly. The process of all these technological revolutions is ongoing and improves taxonomy and nomenclature in a way which is unprecedented. All this caused an acceleration in the nomenclatural field: both in quantity and in quality of expertise and fieldwork. The above changes are not without huge problematics. Many studies are carried out on the wide diversity of these problems and even books are written on the subject.

Charles J. Gabriel, Honorary Associate in Gonchology, National Museum of Victoria. Introduction. It has always been my conviction that the spasmodic and haphazard collecting so far undertaken has not exhausted the molluscan species to be found in the deeper waters of South- eastern Australia. Only two large single collections have been made; first by the vessel " Challenger " in 1874 at Station 162 off East Moncoeur Island in 38 fathoms. These collections were described in the " Challenger " reports by Rev. Boog. Watson (Gastropoda) and E. A. Smith (Pelecypoda). In the latter was included a description of a shell Thracia watsoni not since taken in Victoria though dredged by Mr. David Howlett off St. Francis Island, South Australia. In 1910 the F. I. S. " Endeavour " made a number of hauls both north and south of Gabo Island and off Cape Everard. The u results of this collecting can be found in the Endeavour " reports. T. Iredale, 1924, published the results of shore and dredging collections made by Roy Bell. Since this time continued haphazard collecting has been carried out mostly as a hobby by trawler fishermen either for their own interest or on behalf of interested friends. Although some of this material has reached the hands of competent workers, over the years the recording of new species has probably been delayed.

  • Taphonomic Signatures on Some Intertidal Molluscan Shells from Tarut Bay (Arabian Gulf, Saudi Arabia)
    Pakistan J. Zool., vol. 47(1), pp. 125-132, 2015. Taphonomic Signatures on Some Intertidal Molluscan Shells from Tarut Bay (Arabian Gulf, Saudi Arabia) Amel El Gendy,1 Saleh Al-Farraj2 and Magdy El-Hedeny3* 1Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt 2Department of Zoology, College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 3Vice Rectorate for Business Development, King Saud University P.O. Box 2454, Riyadh 11451, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Abstract.- The present contribution documented a molluscan assemblage (bivalves and gastropods) collected from the intertidal water of Tarut Bay, east coast of Saudi Arabia and assessed the degree of post-mortal alteration of the shell material. In this assemblage, bivalve shells were totally dominated by disarticulated valves and had significant taphonomic alteration in their shells. Four principal taphonomic attributes were analysed: encrustation, bioerosion, fragmentation and abrasion. Three types of encrusters were recorded on shells of the present study: balanoids, polychaetes and bivalves (Spondylus and oysters). Amongst, balanoid barnacles represented the most common encrusters that were recorded in both gastropod and bivalve shells. It was observed that each encruster attached on the host as a single epibiont and no share with other epibionts on the same host. Bioerosion traces in shells were predominately those of clionid sponges and gastropods. They were represented by the ichnogenera Entobia and Oichnus. The presence of drill holes assigned to the ichnospecies Oichnus simplex Bromley, 1981 were made by muricid gastropods which are common in the study area. Fragmentation was mainly resulted from biological processes (bird predation) on the brittle-shelled bivalve species Vepricardium asiaticum.

Abstract: Marine biodiversity along the Syrian coast is affected by climate change-related Article history: Received 5 February 2019 temperature increase leading to the migration and entrance of alien species, especially from Accepted 27 July 2019 the Suez Canal (biological invasion). The Syrian coast is chracterized by many different Available online 25 August 2019 types of habitats, including marine caves, midilittoral bioconstructions (Lithophyllum byssoides rim and vermetid tarraces), coraligenous communities, sandy dunes, rocky coast Keywords: and seagrass meadows. The present study summarizes early and most recent results on the Marine biodiversity presence, distribution, abundance and conservation status of marine alien species along the Macrozoobenthos Syrians coast and provides an updated list of alien macrozoobenthic species. A total of 79 Invasive alien species Eastern Mediterranean Sea alien species belonging to Mollusca, Crustacea, Tunicata, Polychaeta, Spongia, Echinodermata and Chaetognatha are reported; among them Gastropoda is being the most abundant and successful taxon. In the light of these results, some recommendations on future research directions are provided. In particular, more effort is needed to monitor and record the entrance of alien species by adopting a comprehensive national plan to study marine biodiversity and to protect local resources in the Syrian marine environment.

  • Anatomy of Zetela Alphonsi Vilvens, 2002 Casts Doubt on Its Original Placement Based on Conchological Characters
    SPIXIANA 40 2 161-170 München, Dezember 2017 ISSN 0341-8391 Anatomy of Zetela alphonsi Vilvens, 2002 casts doubt on its original placement based on conchological characters (Mollusca, Solariellidae) Enrico Schwabe, Martin Heß, Lauren Sumner-Rooney & Javier Sellanes Schwabe, E., Heß, M., Sumner-Rooney, L. H. & Sellanes, J. 2017. Anatomy of Zetela alphonsi Vilvens, 2002 casts doubt on its original placement based on con- chological characters (Mollusca, Solariellidae). Spixiana 40 (2): 161-170. Zetela is a genus of marine gastropods belonging to the family Solariellidae (Vetigastropoda, Trochoidea). The species Zetela alphonsi Vilvens, 2002 was origi- nally described using classical conchological characters from samples obtained from deep water off Chiloé, Chile, but no other features were recorded in the original description. In the present paper, taxonomically relevant characters such as the operculum, radula, and soft part anatomy are illustrated and described for the first time from a specimen of Zetela alphonsi from a new locality, a methane seep area off the coast of central Chile. We find that many features differ substantially from other members of the genus, including several which deviate from characters that are diagnostic for Zetela. Zetela alphonsi also lacks retinal screening pigment, giving the appearance of eyelessness from gross examination. Although pigmenta- tion loss has been reported in other deep sea genera, this feature has not been re- ported in any other members of Zetela. We reconstructed a tomographic model of the eye and eyestalk, and demonstrate that a vestigial eye is still present but exter- nally invisible due to the loss of pigmentation. Based on these new morphological characters, particularly observations of the radula, we suggest that the current placement of this species in the genus Zetela should be reconsidered.
