Lot 60 Limpet Collection Donated by Everett Long Lot 60 Limpet Collection Donated by Everett Long Note: The entire collection outlined is one lot. Due to the size of this offering and economy of time I have recorded the specimens by groups in no particular order to give the viewer an idea of the scope of the collection. 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Limpet like mollusks the donor included in the collection.

In many cases there is more than one lot for a given species. For this record I have combined the rec- ord to one per species. The number following the classification is the number of specimens in the collection. There are dozens of specimens that are not identified. Collecting data is provided in most cases which is the important part for the science. The names can be researched. 22 Limpet collection listed alphabetically by Genus. I have not verified the classifications via WoRMS for example, but simply recorded what the data tags show.

Population energy budgets estimated on the assumption of steady state conditions for C. testudinaria (Linnaeus, 1758) on the rocky shore of Ohoiwait, are presented. Large difference in population structure, and hence energetics, occurred at different localities along the rocky shore. Relatively high proportions (98 %) of the assimilated energy was lost via metabolism. Assimilation efficiency is 39 %, net growth efficiency is 1.8 %, and ecological efficiency 0.3 %. Production (P), energy flow (A) and total energy consumption (C) were expressed as functions of animal size, in order to facilitate gross estimations of the energy component for which data on size frequency and density are available.

  • Differential Algal Consumption by Three Species of <I>Fissurella</I
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE. 46(3): 735-748.1990 DIFFERENTIAL ALGAL CONSUMPTION BY THREE SPECIES OF FISSURELLA(MOLLUSCA:GASTROPODA)AT ISLA DE MARGARITA, VENEZUELA Craig J. Franz ABSTRACT Visual observations and gut analyses were used to determine types of food ingested by Fissurella nimbosa (Linnaeus, 1758), F. nodosa (Born, 1778), and F. barbadensis (Gmelin, 1791) at Isla de Margarita, Venezuela. Although these animals have a wide variety of algal sources from which to select and on which they appear to feed in an opportunistic fashion, specific food preferences exist. Fissurella nodosa prefers encrusting microalgae and diatoms; F. nimbosa ingests laminar sheets of predominantly brown algae; F. barbadensis feeds on a wide variety of algae but often selects coralline algae of which it ingests entire branches. In zones of overlap, it is hypothesized that competition for food among Fissurella species is minimal due to resource allocation through food preference. Laboratory experiments indicate that all three congeners can ingest a greater variety of algal types than they normally consume in the field. Differential food consumption indicates significantly more elaborate niche par- titioning among tropical intertidal Fissure/la than was previously known. Studies of comparative feeding among congeneric predators may provide insight into the manner by which organisms partition their environment. This partitioning may be achieved through spatial segregation, temporal allocation, or dietary pref- erence. In situations of spatial overlap and temporal feeding similarity, a unique opportunity exists to evaluate the way in which food preferences may help establish an individual's niche. In these circumstances, dietary studies of co-occurring congeners provides information concerning the partitioning of community food resources.

    The Renogenital System of Puncturella noachina L. By Anna Meyer (of the Zoological Museum, University of Kasan) with 10 text figures The study of the excretory and genital organs of the lower Diotocardia is of significant interest because one can expect in this organ system (in its composition of the heart and gills, but perhaps only as traces) the same parity and symmetry as must have theoretically been present in the Urgastropod. Haller believed he actually had discovered such a paired and symmetrical composition of the aforementioned organs in the extant species Puncturella (Cemoria) noachina L. in the Family Fissurellidae. However, later studies provoked considerable controversy among the admittedly few researchers who re-examined the renogenital system of this species and the controversy remained undecided. I therefore eagerly followed the suggestion of my father, Professor Eduard Meyer, to undertake a detailed study of the renogenital system of Puncturella and to examine the claims of the earlier workers. However, before I go to the account of my observations, I wish to briefly present the results of earlier studies. The first information on the renogenital system of Puncturella comes from v. Erlanger in 1892 in his work “On the Paired Nephridia of Prosobranchs”1, where he detected the existence of two nephridia and pointed out their strongly asymmetrical development. He observed that the right organ was extraordinarily well developed and extended almost through the entire body cavity of the animal, while the left kidney was greatly reduced. Both nephridia open through separate papilla into the mantle cavity to either side of the anus; the left papilla being weakly developed and having a far smaller opening.
