  • Seasonal Reproductive Anatomy and Sperm Storage in Pleurocerid Gastropods (Cerithioidea: Pleuroceridae) Nathan V
    989 ARTICLE Seasonal reproductive anatomy and sperm storage in pleurocerid gastropods (Cerithioidea: Pleuroceridae) Nathan V. Whelan and Ellen E. Strong Abstract: Life histories, including anatomy and behavior, are a critically understudied component of gastropod biology, especially for imperiled freshwater species of Pleuroceridae. This aspect of their biology provides important insights into understanding how evolution has shaped optimal reproductive success and is critical for informing management and conser- vation strategies. One particularly understudied facet is seasonal variation in reproductive form and function. For example, some have hypothesized that females store sperm over winter or longer, but no study has explored seasonal variation in accessory reproductive anatomy. We examined the gross anatomy and fine structure of female accessory reproductive structures (pallial oviduct, ovipositor) of four species in two genera (round rocksnail, Leptoxis ampla (Anthony, 1855); smooth hornsnail, Pleurocera prasinata (Conrad, 1834); skirted hornsnail, Pleurocera pyrenella (Conrad, 1834); silty hornsnail, Pleurocera canaliculata (Say, 1821)). Histological analyses show that despite lacking a seminal receptacle, females of these species are capable of storing orientated sperm in their spermatophore bursa. Additionally, we found that they undergo conspicuous seasonal atrophy of the pallial oviduct outside the reproductive season, and there is no evidence that they overwinter sperm. The reallocation of resources primarily to somatic functions outside of the egg-laying season is likely an adaptation that increases survival chances during winter months. Key words: Pleuroceridae, Leptoxis, Pleurocera, freshwater gastropods, reproduction, sperm storage, anatomy. Résumé : Les cycles biologiques, y compris de l’anatomie et du comportement, constituent un élément gravement sous-étudié de la biologie des gastéropodes, particulièrement en ce qui concerne les espèces d’eau douce menacées de pleurocéridés.

Current knowledge of the distribution of species of freshwater gastropods in the prairie states of South Dakota and Nebraska is sparse with no recent comprehensive studies. Historical surveys of gastropods in this region were conducted in the late 1800's to the early 1900's, and most current studies that include gastropods do not identify individuals to species.

  • A Primer to Freshwater Gastropod Identification
    Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Society Freshwater Gastropod Identification Workshop “Showing your Shells” A Primer to Freshwater Gastropod Identification Editors Kathryn E. Perez, Stephanie A. Clark and Charles Lydeard University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Alabama 15-18 March 2004 Acknowledgments We must begin by acknowledging Dr. Jack Burch of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan. The vast majority of the information contained within this workbook is directly attributed to his extraordinary contributions in malacology spanning nearly a half century. His exceptional breadth of knowledge of mollusks has enabled him to synthesize and provide priceless volumes of not only freshwater, but terrestrial mollusks, as well. A feat few, if any malacologist could accomplish today. Dr. Burch is also very generous with his time and work.
