This meeting brought together over 80 scientists from 19 countries on four continents (Europe, and Co-chairs . 34 North America, South America, and Australia). Representation from the United States was rather low, Parting Shot . 35 but that was expected, as several other meetings on freshwater molluscs were held in the USA earlier in the year. Ellipsaria Vol. 17 - No. 4 December 2015 The First International Meeting on Biology and Conservation of Freshwater Bivalves was held in Bragança, Portugal, in 2012. That meeting was organized by Manuel Lopes-Lima and his colleagues from several academic institutions in Portugal. In addition to being a research scientist with the University of Porto, Portugal, Manuel is the IUCN Coordinator of the Red List Authority on Freshwater Bivalves. The goal of the first meeting was to create a network of international experts in biology and conservation of freshwater bivalves to develop collaborative projects and global directives for their protection and conservation. The Bragança meeting was very productive in uniting freshwater mussel biologists from European countries with their colleagues in North and South America. The meeting format did not include concurrent sessions, which allowed everyone to attend to every talk and all of the plenary talks by leading scientists.

To evaluate the population dynamics of P. flagellata, monthly samples were collected from Guerrero Lagoon (Yucatán Peninsula) from June 2012 to May 2013. The measured environmental variables did not differ significantly among the sampling stations. However, salinity was lower during the rainy season, and the temperature was lower during the north season (i.e., the season dominated by cold fronts). The snails were more abundant during the rainy season, and they were restricted to the portion of the lagoon that receives freshwater discharges. The snails ranged from 4 to 55 mm in size, with a –1 maximum estimated length of L∞ = 57.75 mm and a growth rate of K = 0.68 y (the abbreviation “y” means “year”) with a seasonal oscillation; the lowest growth rate occurred in early December.

The species has previously been known only as a Pliocene fossil, but now is recognized in the Quaternary of the southwest United States, and living in the Pecos Valley of New Mexico. Pecosorbis is unusual because of its restricted distribution and habitat in seasonal rock pools. Most similar to Menetus, it differs in having a preputial organ with an external duct, no spermatheca, and a penial sac that is mostly eversible.

  • Symbionts and Diseases Associated with Invasive Apple Snails
    Symbionts and diseases associated with invasive apple snails Cristina Damborenea, Francisco Brusa and Lisandro Negrete CONICET, División Zoología Invertebrados, Museo de La Plata (FCNyM-UNLP), Paseo del Bosque, 1900 La Plata, Argentina. Email: [email protected], fbrusa@ fcnym.unlp.edu.ar, [email protected] Abstract This contribution summarizes knowledge of organisms associated with apple snails, mainly Pomacea spp., either in a facultative or obligate manner, paying special attention to diseases transmitted via these snails to humans. A wide spectrum of epibionts on the shell and operculum of snails are discussed. Among them algae, ciliates, rotifers, nematodes, flatworms, oligochaetes, dipterans, bryozoans and leeches are facultative, benefitting from the provision of substrate, transport, access to food and protection. Among obligate symbionts, five turbellarian species of the genusTemnocephala are known from the branchial cavity, with T. iheringi the most common and abundant. The leech Helobdella ampullariae also spends its entire life cycle inside the branchial cavity; two copepod species and one mite are found in different sites inside the snails. Details of the nature of the relationships of these specific obligate symbionts are poorly known. Also, extensive studies of an intracellular endosymbiosis are summarized. Apple snails are the first or second hosts of several digenean species, including some bird parasites.A number of human diseases are transmitted by apple snails, angiostrongyliasis being the most important because of the potential seriousness of the disease. Additional keywords: Ampullariidae, Angiostrongylus, commensals, diseases, epibionts, parasites, Pomacea, symbiosis 73 Introduction The term “apple snail” refers to a number of species of freshwater snails belonging to the family Ampullariidae (Caenogastropoda) inhabiting tropical and subtropical regions (Hayes et al., 2015).

C HRISteNSeN 2 Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice Street, Honolulu, Hawaiʻi 96817-2704, USA; email: [email protected] the freshwater limpet heretofore known as Ferrissia sharpi (Sykes, 1900) was described as Ancylus sharpi from material collected on the Island of O‘ahu (Sykes 1900). the dis - cussion of the species by Hubendick (1967) added little new information, but by the end of the 20th century it had been reported from the islands of Kauaʻi and Hawaiʻi in addition to its type locality (Cowie et al. 1995; Cowie 1997). Recent surveys of Hawaiian stream fauna have recorded it from numerous localities on those islands and have added the islands of Moloka‘i and Maui to its known range within the state of Hawaiʻi (englund & Godwin 2002; englund & Preston 2002; Anthony et al . 2004; Brasher et al. 2004; Parham et al . 2008). Ferrissia sharpi has been a cryptogenic species in the Hawaiian fauna as its status as native or introduced has been unclear. Most recent authors have regarded its status as uncertain (Cowie et al. 1995; Cowie 1997, 1998; englund & Godwin 2002; englund & Preston 2002; Ziegler 2002; Anthony et al . 2004; Brasher et al. 2004), but Parham et al.

  • Freshwater Snail Guide
    A Beginner’s Guide to Freshwater Snails of Central Scotland Freshwater snails are a diverse and fascinating group of molluscs found in ponds, lochs, canals, rivers and watery ditches all across the globe. This guide is a simple introduction to some of the most commonly encountered and easily identifiable freshwater snail species in Central Scotland. How do I look for freshwater snails? 1) Choose your spot: anywhere with water – your garden pond, a nearby river, canal or loch – is likely to have snails. 2) Grab a pond net (buy online or make your own by attaching a sieve to the end of an old broom or mop), a white tray or tub and a hand-lens or magnifier. 3) Fill the tray with water from your chosen habitat. Sweep the net around in the water, making sure to get among any vegetation (don’t go too near the bottom or you’ll get a net full of mud), empty your net into the water-filled tray and identify what you have found! Snail shell features Spire Whorls Some snail species have a hard plate called an ‘operculum’ Height which they Mouth (Aperture) use to seal the mouth of the shell when they are inside Height Pointed shell Flat shell Width Width Pond Snails (Lymnaeidae) Variable in size. Mouth always on right-hand side, shells usually long and pointed. Great Pond Snail Common Pond Snail Lymnaea stagnalis Radix balthica Largest pond snail. Common in ponds Fairly rounded and ’fat’. Common in weedy lakes, canals and sometimes slow river still waters. pools.

  • Pomacea Canaliculata) Behaviors in Different Water Temperature Gradients
    water Article Comparison of Invasive Apple Snail (Pomacea canaliculata) Behaviors in Different Water Temperature Gradients Mi-Jung Bae 1, Eui-Jin Kim 1 and Young-Seuk Park 2,* 1 Nakdonggang National Institute of Biological Resources, Sangju 37242, Korea; [email protected] (M.-J.B.); [email protected] (E.-J.K.) 2 Department of Biology, Kyung Hee University, Dongdaemun, Seoul 02447, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-961-0946 Abstract: Pomacea canaliculata (known as invasive apple snail) is a freshwater snail native to South America that was introduced into many countries (including Asia and North America) as a food source or for organic farming systems. However, it has invaded freshwater ecosystems and become a serious agricultural pest in paddy fields. Water temperature is an important factor determining behavior and successful establishment in new areas. We examined the behavioral responses of P. canaliculata with water temperature changes from 25 ◦C to 30 ◦C, 20 ◦C, and 15 ◦C by quantifying changes in nine behaviors. At the acclimated temperature (25 ◦C), the mobility of P. canaliculata was low during the day, but high at night. Clinging behavior increased as the water temperature decreased from 25 ◦C to 20 ◦C or 15 ◦C. Conversely, ventilation and food consumption increased when the water temperature increased from 25 ◦C to 30 ◦C. A self-organizing map (an unsupervised artificial neural network) was used to classify the behavioral patterns into seven clusters at different water temperatures. These results suggest that the activity levels or certain behaviors of P. canaliculata vary with the water temperature conditions.

  • Aquatic Snails of the Snake and Green River Basins of Wyoming
    Aquatic snails of the Snake and Green River Basins of Wyoming Lusha Tronstad Invertebrate Zoologist Wyoming Natural Diversity Database University of Wyoming 307-766-3115 [email protected] Mark Andersen Information Systems and Services Coordinator Wyoming Natural Diversity Database University of Wyoming 307-766-3036 [email protected] Suggested citation: Tronstad, L.M. and M. D. Andersen. 2018. Aquatic snails of the Snake and Green River Basins of Wyoming. Report prepared by the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database for the Wyoming Fish and Wildlife Department. 1 Abstract Freshwater snails are a diverse group of mollusks that live in a variety of aquatic ecosystems. Many snail species are of conservation concern around the globe. About 37-39 species of aquatic snails likely live in Wyoming. The current study surveyed the Snake and Green River basins in Wyoming and identified 22 species and possibly discovered a new operculate snail. We surveyed streams, wetlands, lakes and springs throughout the basins at randomly selected locations. We measured habitat characteristics and basic water quality at each site. Snails were usually most abundant in ecosystems with higher standing stocks of algae, on solid substrate (e.g., wood or aquatic vegetation) and in habitats with slower water velocity (e.g., backwater and margins of streams). We created an aquatic snail key for identifying species in Wyoming. The key is a work in progress that will be continually updated to reflect changes in taxonomy and new knowledge. We hope the snail key will be used throughout the state to unify snail identification and create better data on Wyoming snails.

    Organogen.sis of the Reproductive System of Helisoma duryi eudiacus (Pilsbry) (Pulmonata, Gastropoda), with Notes on Breeding Habits U~eIM~ Department of Zoology Master of Science ABSTRACT The development of the reproductive system of the frvShwater pulmonate, Helisoma duryi eudiscus (Pilsbry), was studied by means of seriaI sections. Development yas traced from embryos to mature speci­ mens. Chronological and histologic&l changes in the reproductive organs yere studied. The tyO priaordia which gave ris. to the entire reproductive tract yere clarified. Br.eding habits such as mode of hatching, type of fertilization, quantity of eggs laid, effects of o~gen and temperature on hatching and the resist­ &Dca of egg membranes to chemicals were additional aspects dealt Yith in this stuay. • Organogenesis of the Reproductive System of He1isoma duryi eudiscus (Pi1sbry) (Pu1monata, Gastropoda), with Notes on Breeding Habits by Mabe1 Mai, B.Sc.
