Molecular and Anatomical Analyses Reveal That Peronia Verruculata (Gastropoda: Onchidiidae) Is a Cryptic Species Complex
Contributions to Zoology, 87 (3) 149-165 (2018) Molecular and anatomical analyses reveal that Peronia verruculata (Gastropoda: Onchidiidae) is a cryptic species complex Jia Jin Marc Chang1,4, Ywee Chieh Tay2, Hui Ping Ang3, Karenne Phyu Phyu Tun3, Loke Ming Chou2, Rudolf Meier1,2, Danwei Huang1,2 1 Department of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore, Singapore 117558, Singapore 2 Tropical Marine Science Institute, National University of Singapore, Singapore 119227, Singapore 3 National Biodiversity Centre, National Parks Board, Singapore 259569, Singapore 4 E-mail: [email protected] Keywords: DNA barcoding, cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cryptic diversity, integrative taxonomy, Singapore Abstract Introduction Recent years have seen an increase in the number of Species delimitation is the sine qua non for biology. studies that use DNA sequence information in addition to After all, what is defined as species often has material morphological methods, as the latter alone can be inadequate for morphologically similar, cryptic species. Marine onchidiid slugs implications on areas such as biodiversity conservation (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Onchidiidae), which commonly inhabit or invasive species management (Mace, 2004; intertidal environments and have a near-global distribution, Armstrong and Ball, 2005; Bickford et al., 2007; comprise 11 genera and 86 described species.

Molecular evidence is becoming 19 recorded species of onchidiids with Peronia verruculata more important for taxonomic work (Hajibabaei et (Cuvier, 1830) being the most abundant.

Rec. West. Aust. Mus., Suppl. no. 11, 1981 CAMAENID LAND SNAILS FROM WESTERN AND CENTRAL AUSTRALIA (MOLLUSCA: PULMONATA: CAMAENIDAE) III TAXA FROM THE NINGBING RANGES AND NEARBY AREAS ALAN SOLEM* [Received 26 June 1979. Accepted 2 July 1980. Published 30 Apri11981.1 INTRODUCTION This is the third report on the semi-arid zone dominant land snails of Western and central Australia, which belong to the Camaenidae, sensu lato. It reviews 19 species-level taxa in four new genera, Ningbingia, Turgenitubulus, Cristilabrum and Prymnbriareus. Part I (Solem, 1979) covered the genera with trans-Australian northern distributions (Hadra Albers, 1860; Xanthomelon von Martens, 1860; Damochlora Iredale, 1938; and Torresitrachia Iredale, 1939), plus some related Chloritis-like genera from eastern Australia. Part 11 (see above) revised the genus Amplirhagada Iredale, 1933, which is restricted to the Kimberley and has undergone extensive complex speciation. Major financial sponsorship of this co-operative project between the Western Australian Museum, Perth (hereafter WAM) and Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago (hereafter FMNH) has been provided by National Science Foundation grants DEB 75-20113 and DEB 78-21444 to FMNH for fieldwork and subsequent study of collected materials, and National Science Foundation grant BMS 72-02149 that established a scanning electron microscope laboratory at FMNH. Grateful acknowledgment is made of this support. Nearly all line illustrations are by Elizabeth A. Liebman, formerly Illustrator, Division of Invertebrates. The map of collecting localities (Fig. 110) was drafted by Elizabeth Lizzio. Volunteer Illustrator, Division of Invertebrates. The pilaster details of Fig. 109 were prepared and. mounted by Marjorie M. Connors, Illustrator, Division of Invertebrates. -

Many studies focus on the functional drivers which have been regarded as a major force in shell evolution. There is, however, a scarcity in studies that aim at understanding shell form evolution with respect to their ontogeny. Hence, we investigated the evolution of shell form in the micro-landsnail genus Plectostoma (Diplommatinidae) from the viewpoint of shell ontogeny. We examined the aperture ontogeny profiles that describe how aperture form and growth trajectory change along the shell ontogeny, and how the aperture ontogeny profiles relate to the observed shell forms. -
Biodiversity Summary: Rangelands, Western Australia
Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups.
