GARY ROSENBERG, Ph.D. Pilsbry Chair of Malacology, Pilsbry Chair GARY ROSENBERG, Ph.D. Pilsbry Chair of Malacology, Pilsbry Chair and Curator of Malacology, Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University; Professor, Department of Biodiversity, Earth & Environmental Science, Drexel Website: http://clade.ansp.org/malacology/people/rosenberg/ Education • B.S., Geology, Princeton University, 1981 • Ph.D., Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, 1989 Research Interests My research centers on the magnitude and origin of species-level diversity in the Mollusca. Estimates of the total number of living mollusk species range from less than 100,000 to more than 200,000, and there is little agreement even as to how many species of mollusks have already been discovered. I use an informatics approach to better document the known diversity of mollusks and to estimate their total diversity. I developed Malacolog, an online database of Western Atlantic marine gastropods, and am an editor for the Mollusca in the World Register of Marine Species. My field work is centered in the Philippines, which has the world’s highest diversity of marine mollusks, where I am a Co-PI on the Philippine Mollusk Symbiont ICBG, and in Jamaica, which has one of the most diverse faunas of terrestrial mollusks in the world, for which I have developed an interactive key. Biography Dr. Gary Rosenberg is curator of mollusks at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. He has published more than 40 peer-reviewed scientific articles and is the author of the Encyclopedia of Seashells (1992). In support of his research on molluscan diversity, he developed Malacolog, an online database of Western Atlantic marine gastropods, and he is an editor for Mollusca in the World Register of Marine Species. He is president of the American Malacological Society and serves on the editorial boards of several journals. He is a commissioner on the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature, for which he chairs the editorial committee. Selected Publications • Rosenberg, G. 2010.

  • Mollusca, Neogastropoda) from the Mozambique Channel and New Caledonia
    Bull. Mus. natn. Hist, nat., Paris, 4e ser., 3, 1981, section A, n° 4 : 985-1009. On a collection of buccinacean and mitracean Gastropods (Mollusca, Neogastropoda) from the Mozambique Channel and New Caledonia by W. 0. CERNOHORSKY Abstract. — The present paper deals with a collection of 59 species of buccinacean and mitra- cean gastropods belonging to 4 families from moderately shallow to deep water around the Mozam- bique Channel area, north of Madagascar. A total of 27 % of the species recovered are new geogra- phical range extensions. The New Caledonian material consists of 21 species belonging to 5 fami- lies, and was dredged, with one exception, in moderately deep water. A total of 38 % of the New Caledonian species represent new geographical records, and one of these is a new species : Voluto- mitra (Waimatea) vaubani n. sp. The new name Vexillum (Costellaria) duplex is proposed for the homonymous Mitra simphcissima Schepman, 1911, and its var. glabra Schepman, 1911. Résumé. — L'auteur étudie une collection de 59 espèces appartenant à 4 familles de Gasté- ropodes Buccinacea et Mitracea dragués dans le nord du canal du Mozambique, à des profondeurs diverses.

  • 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.

  • Xenophoridae, Cypraeoidea, Mitriforms and Terebridae (Caenogastropoda)
    Taxonomic study on the molluscs collected in Marion-Dufresne expedition (MD55) to SE Brazil: Xenophoridae, Cypraeoidea, mitriforms and Terebridae (Caenogastropoda) Luiz Ricardo L. SIMONE Carlo M. CUNHA Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, caixa postal 42494, 04218-970 São Paulo, SP (Brazil) [email protected] [email protected] Simone L. R. L. & Cunha C. M. 2012. — Taxonomic study on the molluscs collected in Marion-Dufresne expedition (MD55) to SE Brazil: Xenophoridae, Cypraeoidea, mitriforms and Terebridae (Caenogastropoda). Zoosystema 34 (4): 745-781. http://dx.doi.org/10.5252/z2012n4a6 ABSTRACT The deep-water molluscs collected during the expedition MD55 off SE Brazil have been gradually studied in some previous papers. The present one is focused on samples belonging to caenogastropod taxa Xenophoridae Troschel, 1852, Cypraeoidea Rafinesque, 1815, mitriforms and Terebridae Mörch, 1852. Regarding the Xenophoridae, Onustus aquitanus n. sp. is a new species, collected off the littoral of Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 430-637 m depth (continental slope). The main characters of the species include the small size (c. 20 mm), the proportionally wide shell, the white colour, the short peripheral flange, the oblique riblets weakly developed and a brown multispiral protoconch. This appears to be the smallest living species of the family, resembling in this aspect fossil species. In respect to the Cypraeoidea, the following results were obtained: family Cypraeidae Rafinesque, 1815: Erosaria acicularis (Gmelin, 1791) and Luria cinerea (Gmelin, 1791) had the deepest record, respectively 607-620 m and 295-940 m, although the samples were all dead, eroded shells. Family Lamellariidae d’Orbigny, 1841: a total of three lots were collected, provisionally identified as Lamellaria spp.

  • Scientific Studies on Dry Tortugas National Park: an Annotated Bibliography
    ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 449 SCIENTIFIC STUDIES ON DRY TORTUGAS NATIONAL PARK: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY BY T.W. SCHMIDT AND L. PIKULA ISSUED BY NATIONAI, MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A. OCTOBER 1997 SCIENTIFIC STUDIES ON DRY TORTUGAS NATIONAL PARK: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY Thomas W. schmidt1 and Linda pikula2 ABSTRACT Dry Tortugas National Park, located 110 km west of Key West, Florida, is an elliptical, atoll-like, coral reef formation, approximately 27 km long and 12 km wide with shallow water depths ranging from 12-20 m in channels between reefs. In 1935, the area was designated Fort Jefferson National Monument, the World's first underwater National Park unit. Central to the area is Fort Jefferson, America's largest coastal nineteenth century masonty fort. In 1992 it was re-designated Dly Tortugas National Park. Because of the islands' unique location, the first tropical marine biological laboratory in the Western Hemisphere was established on Loggerhead Key by the Carnegie Institution of Washington, Washington, D. C. Following the closure of the Tortugas Laboratory in 1939, aperiodic marine biological assessments have been conducted in response to man- made and natural environmental perturbations. This annotated bibliography is an attempt to provide researchers and resource managers with access to the rapidly accumulating body of information on the park's natural resources. A total of 424 references (published and unpublished) on scientific studies in, (and what later became) Dry Tortugas National Park were annotated and indexed according to major scientific topics. Studies from a wider area were included if they also sampled in Dry Tortugas National Park.

  • Host Specificity and Phylogenetic Relationships Among Atlantic Ovulidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda)
    Cover Page The handle http://hdl.handle.net/1887/43471 holds various files of this Leiden University dissertation Author: Reijnen, Bastian T. Title: Phylogenetic ecology of octocoral - gastropod associations Issue Date: 2016-10-11 Chapter 1 Host specificity and phylogenetic relationships among Atlantic Ovulidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda) Bastian T. Reijnen, Bert W. Hoeksema, Edmund Gittenberger Contributions to Zoology (2010) 79: 69-78 Abstract Ovulid gastropods and their octocoral hosts were collected along the leeward coast of Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles. New molecular data of Caribbean and a single Atlantic species were combined with comparable data of Indo-Pacific Ovulidae and a single East-Pacific species from GenBank. Based on two DNA markers, viz. COI and 16S, the phylogenetic relationships among all ovulid spe- cies of which these data are available are reconstructed. The provisional results suggest a dichotomy between the Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific taxa. Fully grownSimnialena uniplicata closely resembles juvenile Cyphoma gibbosum conchologically. Cymbovula acicularis and C. bahamaensis might be synonyms. The assignments of Caribbean host species for Cyphoma gibbosum, C. signatum, Cymbovula acicularis and Simnialena uniplicata are revised. Hfst 01 Thesis BR.indd 17 26-08-16 09:18 CHAPTER 1 Introduction Ovulid snails are obligate associates of Cnidaria. As far as known, most occur associated with octocorals (Anthozoa: Octocorallia: Alcyonacea), but in both the Caribbean and the Indo-Pacific some ovulid species feed on antipatharians (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia: Antipatharia) (Tazioli et al., 2007). The species of Pedicularia Swainson, 1840, that have been classified with the Ovulidae for a long time (Goud and Hoeksema, 2001), live on stylasterid corals (Hydrozoa: Athecatae: Filefera).
