In an integrative taxonomy 9 10 framework, these hypotheses are then compared with other characters, such as morphology or 11 12 13 geography, to produce robust species delimitations. For this purpose, the COI gene has been 14 15 sequenced for almos t 50 specimens of the genus Benthomangelia , a deep -sea marine 16 17 18 gastropod genus, collected in the South -West Pacific. Five genetic groups , displaying low and 19 20 high genetic distances Forrespectively Peer within and betweenReview groups , were defined . COI hypotheses 21 22 were com pared to both the results obtained with the independent nuclear 28S gene and to an 23 24 25 Elliptic Fourier Analysis of the shape of the last whorl of the shell. 28S gene analysis 26 27 confirmed the same well -supported groups as COI, and Elliptic Fourier Analysis ident ified 28 29 several morphological characters that vary similarly to genetic variability . 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 Keywords 37 38 39 28S rRNA - COI gene – Benthomangelia – DNA taxonomy – Elliptic Fourier A nalysis - 40 41 Integrative taxonomy – Molluscs . 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 Biological Journal of the Linnean Society Page 3 of 30 Biological Journal of the Linnean Society 1 2 3 Introdu ction 4 5 6 Given the sizeable number of species that remains to be described, especially in the context of 7 8 a rapidly increasing rate of species extinctions, we urgently need to rethink the work of alpha - 9 10 taxonomy to improve the rate of species description. In marine environments, the amount of 11 12 13 unknow n diversity is important , especially for molluscs (Bouchet et al ., 2002 ). Among marine 14 15 molluscs, the Conoidea are one of the most d ivers e taxa (Bouchet , 1990; Taylor , Kantor & 16 17 18 Sysoev, 1993), and it includes a significant portion of undescribed speci es. Morevover, most 19 20 of the described taxaFor from Peershallow water Review and deeper ecosystems remain largely 21 22 underexplored. The difficulty of sampling in such environment and the lac k of specialists for 23 24 25 most of the se groups explain this taxonomic impediment (Boyle et al ., 2004; ). 26 27 Until recently most species descriptions of shelled molluscs were based exclusively on shell 28 29 characters, leading to brief diagnoses that in some cases apply to more than one taxon. 30 31 32 Furthermore, shell variability is difficult to characterize w ith discrete characters (Pfenninger , 33 34 Cordellier & Streit , 2006), and consequently the analysis of s uch characters , as done 35 36 traditionally, is difficult to reproduce . Finally, the broad plasticity of shell characters for some 37 38 39 well known sp ecies was demonstra ted ( Hollander et al ., 2006 ; Brookes & Rochette, 2007 ), 40 41 but this problem is rarely integrated in mollusc taxonomy. For all these reasons, t axonomists 42 43 44 may differ in how they interpret variability of shell characters: what one specialist interprets 45 46 as geogra phical or bathymetrical variation can be interpreted by another as specific 47 48 differences. As a consequence, quite contradictory opinions about species delimitations in 49 50 51 literature are not rare ( e.g. Röckel , Rolan & Monteiro (1980) vs Monteiro, Tenorio & Popp e 52 53 (2004) [Cape Verde Conus ]). 54 55 The difficulty of confronting different opinions is also increased by the lack of a solid 56 57 58 theoretical and methodological framework, de facto rendering many taxonomical opinions 59 60 untestable hypotheses. Recently, concepts and met hods underlying the delimitation of Biological Journal of the Linnean Society Biological Journal of the Linnean Society Page 4 of 30 1 2 3 terminal taxa were clarified, advocat ing for the u se of an integrative framework . De Queiroz 4 5 6 (1998) , followed by Samadi & Barberousse (2006 ), first suggested that a unified view of 7 8 “what is a species” is possible if spec ies are considered as definitively diverging lineages and 9 10 most of the other so -called “species concepts” as criteria for delimiting species (Sites & 11 12 13 Marshall, 2003). In this context, m olecular characters are classica lly used to propose pri mary 14 15 hypothe ses of species delimitation based on genetic distances ( Floyd et al ., 2002 ; Vogler & 16 17 18 Monaghan , 2007) . Contrary to the morphological characters used in most mollusc species 19 20 description, molecularFor characters Peerare strictly heritable Review and reproducible. Within an integrative 21 22 framework (De Queiroz, 2007) these primary molecular hypothese s can then be tested against 23 24 25 several criteria , namely : (i) monophyly of primary species hypotheses (Wheeler & Meier, 26 27 2000 ; Meyer & Paulay , 200 5), (ii) independ ent genetic marker s, s uch as a nuclear gene , as 28 29 gene tree s do not necessar ily reflect the species tree ( Nichols , 2001 ; Funk & Omland , 2003 ), 30 31 32 and (iii) morphological analysis to discuss species delimitations based on genetic data 33 34 (Bichain et al ., 2007 ; Pfenninger et al ., 2006) . 35 36 In this integrative context , we aim to combine several criteria to propose new hypothese s of 37 38 39 spe cies delimitations in the genus Benthomangelia (Conoidea , Conidae ). This is a widely 40 41 distributed genus of bathyal and abyssal marine molluscs (Bouchet & War én, 1980) . It was 42 43 44 described by Thiel e ( 1925 ), grouping together species previously placed in other genera . 45 46 Since 1925 , new species have been described , based on morphological characters such as 47 48 orna mentations and shape of the shell (Bouchet & War én, 1980; Syso ev & Ivanov , 1985; 49 50 51 Sysoev , 1988) . Ten species are now considered as valid (Tucker 2004) , of which six are 52 53 present in the Pacific . Several potential new forms have been recently collected during cruises 54 55 organized by the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle (MNHN) and the Institut de 56 57 58 Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) , but the great and sometimes continuous 59 60 Biological Journal of the Linnean Society Page 5 of 30 Biological Journal of the Linnean Society 1 2 3 morphological variability complicat e the delimitation of species based solely on th ese 4 5 6 characters (Bouchet & Sysoev , 2001) . 7 8 We demonstrate the delimit ation of genetic groups within the genus Benthomangelia , using 9 10 molecular characters and a tree -based method . Two independe nt genes are used, one 11 12 13 mitochondrial (COI) and one nuclear (28S ) gene . An E lliptic Fourier Analysis ( EFA; Rohlf , 14 15 1996) of the shape of the last whorl of the shell is also performed, allowing detailed analysis 16 17 18 of comp lex structures as a whole (Monti, Baylac & Lalanne -Cassou , 2001).

  • 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.

Despite the plethora of studies, geographic patterns of diversity in deep sea remain subject of speculation. This study considers a large dataset to examine the faunal change and depth-diversity gradient of prosobranch molluscs in the Porcupine Seabight and adjacent Abyssal Plain (NE Atlantic). Rates of species succession (addition and loss) increased rapidly with increasing depth and indicated four possible areas of faunal turnover at about 700, 1600, 2800 and 4100 m. Depth was a significant predictor of diversity, explaining nearly a quarter the variance. There was a pattern of decreasing diversity downslope from 250 m to 1500–1600 m, followed by an increase to high values at about 4000 m and then again, a fall to 4915 m. Processes causing diversity patterns of prosobranchs in the Porcupine Seabight and adjacent Abyssal Plain are likely to differ in magnitude or type, from those operating in other Atlantic areas. Introduction An increasing focus for biodiversity research in the deep sea has been to test for the existence of large-scale gradients in the diversity of marine soft- sediment fauna in deep sea (e.g.

Summary: Northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean gastropods previously ascribed to the buccinid genus Pollia Gray, 1837 are more correctly classified in the genus Aplus de Gregorio, 1885. Using an integrative taxonomy approach combining mo- lecular, morphological and geographic data, we revisit the limits of the extant species in the area, and propose a molecular phylogenetic hypothesis based on 66 specimens from various localities in the Mediterranean Sea, including type localities of some nominal taxa. We used a preliminary morphological inspection, followed by a DNA-barcoding approach to propose species hypotheses, subsequently consolidated using additional data (phylogenetic, geographic and refined morphological data). Seven species hypotheses were eventually retained within our molecularly assayed samples, versus three classical morphologically recognized species.

The numerous studies documenting bathymetric size trends during the last 30 yr report widely divergent results. Body size has been found to significantly increase or decrease with depth in different taxa, but often shows no statistical pattern. Some of this variation is attributable to methodological inconsistencies and/or differences in how taxa or functional groups respond to environmental gradients associated with depth. Here, we show that the shape of the size-depth relationship also depends on the depth zone inhabited. We measured shell size for gastropods (81 species, 3423 individuals) collected in the western North Atlantic from depths of 200 to 5000 m. This database makes it possible to assess size within species and among taxa, and to document how body size changes across the continental margin and abyssal plain. Quantile regression shows that maximum size attained among all gastropods increases with depth in the bathyal zone, and then decreases in the abyss. This overall unimodal pattern appears to be generated partly by within-species clines.

  • Evolution of the Radular Apparatus in Conoidea (Gastropoda: Neogastropoda) As Inferred from a Molecular Phylogeny
    MALACOLOGIA, 2012, 55(1): 55−90 EVOLUTION OF THE RADULAR APPARATUS IN CONOIDEA (GASTROPODA: NEOGASTROPODA) AS INFERRED FROM A MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY Yuri I. Kantor1* & Nicolas Puillandre2 ABSTRACT The anatomy and evolution of the radular apparatus in predatory marine gastropods of the superfamily Conoidea is reconstructed on the basis of a molecular phylogeny, based on three mitochondrial genes (COI, 12S and 16S) for 102 species. A unique feeding mecha- nism involving use of individual marginal radular teeth at the proboscis tip for stabbing and poisoning of prey is here assumed to appear at the earliest stages of evolution of the group. The initial major evolutionary event in Conoidea was the divergence to two main branches. One is characterized by mostly hypodermic marginal teeth and absence of an odontophore, while the other possesses a radula with primarily duplex marginal teeth, a strong subradular membrane and retains a fully functional odontophore. The radular types that have previously been considered most ancestral, “prototypic” for the group (flat marginal teeth; multicuspid lateral teeth of Drilliidae; solid recurved teeth of Pseudomelatoma and Duplicaria), were found to be derived conditions. Solid recurved teeth appeared twice, independently, in Conoidea – in Pseudomelatomidae and Terebridae. The Terebridae, the sister group of Turridae, are characterized by very high radular variability, and the transformation of the marginal radular teeth within this single clade repeats the evolution of the radular apparatus across the entire Conoidea. Key words: Conoidea, Conus, radula, molecular phylogeny, evolution, feeding mechanisms, morphological convergence, character mapping.
