This particular issue should contain something of interest for everybody. I was glad to be able to include “The Little Shell Collector” by Inga Joseph for the enjoyment of our younger members and the adults alike. I am pleased that I have never had the misfortune to bump into a shell dealer like this and that luckily the story did not put Julian off collecting shells. I hope that all members will be present at the May convention and I know that John Fisher has many interesting items for sale in the auction. Once again I urge members that have not tried out one of the informal summer get–togethers to please come along and enjoy these fun days with us. Please do not forget that the date for the usual April convention has changed for this year only to 2nd May 2009. The Editor Dates for your Diary Plans are already in hand for future Club Meetings. Members may like to note the following dates:- Saturday 2nd May 2009 - Shell Convention and Auction at Theydon Bois Community Centre Saturday 13th June 2009 - The Whichers’ Shell Day at Deighton, York Saturday 8th August 2009 - Editor’s Get-together at Yateley, Hampshire Saturday 31st October 2009 - Annual Shell Show at Theydon Bois Community Centre 2010 TO BE CONFIRMED - Scottish Shell Show in Edinburgh ! SECRETARY’S NOTES The BSCC Committee met for its annual meeting in January, and one of the items discussed was the Club’s policy concerning protected species. It was agreed that no action was needed concerning species on the CITES lists, as this document is concerned purely with international trade. However, it is now an offence to possess molluscs on the European Protected Species Annex IVa list. Most of the shells on this latter list are rare European land shells, and the only species likely to affect members are Gibbula nivosa, Anisus vorticulus, Lithophaga lithophaga and Pinna nobilis. It was agreed that Club policy would be that no listed species will be permitted in the auctions, and that all table hirers be informed that listed shells would not be allowed on their tables, even if those shells had been obtained either prior to the cut-off date in the regulations or from territories outside Europe. An appropriate article would be prepared by John Whicher and Tom Walker for publication in the October edition of Pallidula. I will have a full list of species available for anyone to see at the meeting on 2nd May. Please don’t forget to log onto THE BRITISH SHELL COLLECTORS’ CLUB website and check out our regular updates and articles. http://www.britishshellclub.org.uk !"##$%&#" Page 6 TTHHEE 22000099 BBSSCCCC CCOONNVVEENNTTIIOONN As should already have been drawn to your attention, this year the Club’s spring Convention will take place on Saturday 2nd May. As usual it will be at Theydon Bois Village Hall, starting with doors opening at 7:30am for dealers and 9am for everybody else, and going on until 5pm with the Hall vacated by 6pm. Unfortunately the Hall was double-booked for the last Saturday in April this year, but we understand this should not happen again, so everything ought to be as normal again in April next year. The usual wide array of dealers will be present and the day will feature the Club’s notoriously short and (generally) uneventful AGM followed by what promises to be an excellent auction, with lots already being amassed by the Club’s Auction Manager John Fisher. If you have any lots for this or future auctions then do get in touch with John. Donations are always welcome for the ‘Bring & Buy’ box which proved very popular at the 2008 Show; it’s always worth a look too, even if you don’t bring a donation for it. Lastly, if you are interested in bringing along an informal exhibit and would like some table space reserved then please let the Show Secretary know in plenty of time as space is limited. I look forward to seeing you there. Simon Taylor, Show Secretary. Auctioneer’s Report I think you will all agree that the 2008 auction was one of the best in the history of the BSCC. The overall takings amounted to £2,528.50 of which £386.85 went into club funds. I hope that this will encourage members to contribute items for future auctions. The auction plays an important part in raising funds to offset the ever increasing expenses of printing Pallidula amongst other things. The cost of the 2 issues now exceeds the membership fee and if we are to keep the latter at its current level we need to raise money elsewhere and the auction helps towards achieving this goal. Once again advance bidding via Email proved a huge success and about one third of the lots had bids placed on them in advance of the Show. In future, if you are making a bid in advance of the show, would you please state your bid together with your maximum bid. You will then be notified if your maximum bid has been exceeded prior to the show. The 2009 auction has once again been well supported and on behalf of the club I should like to thank all those who have generously donated items for the auction. Special thanks are due to the following: John Batt, Fernand de Donder, Koen Fraussen, Graham Gorrod, Alistair Moncur, Hugh Morrison, Rosemary O’Driscoll, Yves Terryn, and Alex Thompson. John Fisher !"##$%&#" Page 7 SSHHEELLLL SSHHOOWW 22000099 Following the success of the new Photographic category in the last Show and the excellent exhibits it prompted, this has now been added as a permanent section of the Show, in addition to the usual 9 categories. It will also remain as the part of the show decided by a member ballot. Individual photographic exhibits will be limited to a total area of 15” x 12” including all frames, captions, etc. The classes for the 2009 Show, to be held as usual at Theydon Bois Village Hall on 31st October are: 1. One Species. 2. One Genus or Family. 3. British – includes marine, land or freshwater. 4. Foreign – includes marine, land or freshwater. 5. ‘Spots & Dots’ 6. Geographic: Caribbean 7. Shell Photography 8. Shellomania – any entry that does not fit into any of the above classes. 9. Junior: 16 & under 10. Junior: 11 & under The geographic category makes an overdue return with an area which includes a wide variety of attractive and rare shells, many of which it is hoped will make an appearance. ‘Spots & Dots’ is very much open to interpretation by members, so feel free to get creative. And for the really creative types, don’t worry, ‘shell art’ categories will be making regular appearance in future Shows. Please also remember that if you have an exhibit in mind which does not fit easily into any of the specified categories, whatever it may be, the Shellomania section is there just for that purpose. Members may be interested to note that the ‘Foreign’ category has been very under-represented in recent years, not because there have been no foreign shells on show, but because those shells have been in other categories such as ‘One Species’ or ‘One Genus’. Some exhibits can fall under 2 or 3 of the category headings and it is the choice of the exhibitor as to which they enter. The judges last year did an excellent job, but it is desirable to rotate the judging amongst a number of people, to avoid any personal preferences for particular mollusc families becoming apparent, for example. If any club member who has not judged before would like to give it a try, do please contact the Show Secretary. Finally, as noted elsewhere in this magazine, it was very encouraging to see multiple junior entries in the 2008 Show and it is hoped that this will continue into 2009. It would be particularly nice to see some teenage entries this year, although we all appreciate the time constraints imposed by secondary education and the numerous other distractions present at that age. As is now customary, the entry form will be included with the next issue of Pallidula. Can exhibitors please let the Show Secretary have full details of their entries in advance of the Show, as it makes the job on the day much easier and avoids unnecessary confusion. As ever, if any potential exhibitor has any questions at all about the Show, please feel free to get in touch. Simon Taylor, Show Secretary !"##$%&#" Page 8 ttthh TThhee 22000088 BBSSCCCC SShhooww--2255 OOccttoobbeerr 22000088 The Club enjoyed another successful visit to Theydon Bois Village Hall for the annual Show last October. Following a relatively panic free start (no dealers queuing to get in the Hall before it was opened – almost unheard of!) by mid morning the hall was full of the usual hustle and bustle of a Club day in full flow. The Show itself had the largest number of entries for some years, particularly with the introduction of a photographic category, and dominated the centre of the main hall. The exhibits were expertly judged by Terry Wimbleton, John Fisher and Derek Howlett, to whom the Club extends its thanks.

Solo le ultime due specie: Bolinus brandaris (L., 1758) e Phyllonotus trun- culus (L., 1758), sono dunque state studiate e se pur poco rappresen- tative dell'intera sottofamiglia presentano comunque alcuni interes- santi problemi che ci hanno indotto a redigere questa nota.

  • Molluscs of the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area
    Molluscs of the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area S a b i n e F ISCHER & M i c h a e l D UDA Abstract: Research in the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area (DWA) in the southwest of Lower Austria is mainly concerned with the inventory of flora, fauna and habitats, interdisciplinary monitoring and studies on ecological disturbances and process dynamics. During a four-year qualitative study of non-marine molluscs, 96 sites within the DWA and nearby nature reserves were sampled in cooperation with the “Alpine Land Snails Working Group” located at the Natural History Museum of Vienna. Altogether, 84 taxa were recorded (72 land snails, 12 water snails and mussels) including four endemics and seven species listed in the Austrian Red List of Molluscs. A reference collection (empty shells) of molluscs, which is stored at the DWA administration, was created. This project was the first systematic survey of mollusc fauna in the DWA. Further sampling might provide additional information in the future, particularly for Hydrobiidae in springs and caves, where detailed analyses (e.g. anatomical and genetic) are needed. Key words: Wilderness Dürrenstein, Primeval forest, Benign neglect, Non-intervention management, Mollusca, Snails, Alpine endemics.

  • Fauna from Leaota Mountains - Romania
    Muzeul Olteniei Craiova. Oltenia. Studii şi comunicări. Ştiinţele Naturii. Tom. 33, No. 1/2017 ISSN 1454-6914 DIVERSITY OF SOIL MITES (ACARI: MESOSTIGMATA) AND GASTROPODS (GASTROPODA) FAUNA FROM LEAOTA MOUNTAINS - ROMANIA MANU Minodora, LOTREAN Nicolae, CIOBOIU Olivia, POP Oliviu Grigore Abstract. In the period May-September 2016, the diversity of soil mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) and fauna of gastropods (Gastropoda) was investigated in Leaota Mountains. In total 44 transects were investigated, located in 13 types of habitats. Considering the mite fauna, 52 species were identified. The highest value of Shannon index was recorded in natural beech forest, in comparison with the planted spruce forest, where this parameter recorded the lowest value. From the conservative point of view, Pergamasus laetus Juvara-Bals, 1970 was identified as an endemic species for Romania. Another two rare species were signaled: Veigaia propinqua Willmann, 1936 and V. transisalae (Oudemans, 1902). Iphidosoma multiclavatum Willmann, 1953 was signaled for the first time in Romania. Taking into account the gastropod fauna (Gastropoda), 26 species were investigated. The most favorable habitats for these invertebrates were deciduous and spruce forest. One endemic species for Romania was identified: Mastus venerabilis (L. Pfeiffer, 1855). Keywords: abundance, diversity, gastropods, habitat, mites. Rezumat. Diversitatea faunei de acarieni edafici (Acari: Mesostigmata) și de gastropode (Gastropoda) din Munţii Leaota - România. În perioada mai - septembrie 2016, s-a realizat studiul diversităţii faunei de acarieni edafici (Acari: Mesostigmata) şi a gastropodelor (Gastropoda) din munţii Leaota. Au fost investigate 44 de transecte, localizate în 13 tipuri de habitate. Analizând fauna de acarieni, au fost identificate 52 de specii. Cea mai mare valoare a indicelui de diversitate Shannon s-a obţinut în pădurea naturală de fag, în comparaţie cu plantaţia de molid, unde acest parametru a scăzut semnificativ.

  • 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.

ABSTRACT The family Neritidae has representatives in tropical and subtropical regions that occur in a variety of environments, and its known fossil record dates back to the late Cretaceous. However there have been few studies of molecular phylogeny in this family. We performed a phylogenetic reconstruction of the family Neritidae using the COI (722 bp) and the 16S rRNA (559 bp) regions of the mitochondrial genome. Neighbor-joining, maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference were performed. The best phylogenetic reconstruction was obtained using the COI region, and we consider it an appropriate marker for phylogenetic studies within the group. Consensus analysis (COI +16S rRNA) generally obtained the same tree topologies and confirmed that the genus Nerita is monophyletic. The consensus analysis using parsimony recovered a monophyletic group consisting of the genera Neritina , Septaria , Theodoxus , Puperita , and Clithon , while in the Bayesian analyses Theodoxus is separated from the other genera.

Sowerby, 1823), Clithon (Pictoneritina) concavus (J. de C. Sowerby, 1823), Clithon (Pictoneritina) planulatus (Edwards, 1866) and Clithon (Pictoneritina) bristowi Wenz, 1929. KEY WORDS: Mollusca, Gastropoda, Neritidae, Palaeogene, Hampshire Basin. Introduction Systematic Palaeontology Family Neritidae Rafinesque, 1815 Although the number of species of Neritidae in the Solent Genus Pseudodostia gen. nov. Group is rather limited, specimens are common at certain horizons and they have received the attention of numerous Type species — Nerita aperta J. de C. Sowerby, 1825. Eo- authors in the past. In particular Curry (1960, 265-270) cene, Headon Hill Formation. dealt in detail with the taxonomy of Theodoxus concavus (J. de C. Sowerby, 1823), Theodoxus planulatus (Edwards, Derivatio nominis — The name reflects the close resem- 1866) and Theodoxus bristowi Wenz, 1929. The purpose of blance between the shell of the type species of this genus this paper is to update Curry’s work and to cover additional and that of Nerita crepidularia Lamarck, 1822, the type species.

In interpreted in functional terms.

We develop a mathematical model for spine crementally secreted and represent the spatiotemporal record of morphogenesis based on the mechanical interaction between the the shape modifications of the shell edge during growth.
