    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.

Le matériel néo-calédonien comprend 21 espèces appartenant à 5 familles et a été dragué, à une exception près, en eau relativement peu profonde.

  • Zoology Honours 2009: Research Projects
    Zoology Honours 2009: Research Projects Below are a number of research projects suggested by Animal Biology staff members. This is not the definitive list, and students are encouraged to approach appropriate academic staff within the School of Animal Biology if they have ideas for a research project, or if they want to discuss the possibility of a project within a particular subject area. Staff interests and contact links can be found on the web site [http://www.animals.uwa.edu.au/home/research]. Interested students should contact the Zoology Hons Coordinator [[email protected]] for more details. Conservation genetics: measuring genetic mixing in a translocated population of marine snail Jason Kennington & Mike Johnson [contact [email protected]] Translocation is a management tool that is often used to combat the loss of genetic diversity within small and fragmented populations of rare species (Allendorf & Luikart 2006; Frankham et al. 2002). It involves the movement of individuals between populations with the aim of increasing genetic variation within populations by artificially enhancing gene flow (Storfer 1999; Frankham et al. 2002). In support of this concept, several studies have shown that genetic diversity within small and inbred populations can be restored by natural migration and intentional translocation programs (see Frankham 2005). However, relatively few studies have undertaken post-release monitoring of translocated populations to see if the variation introduced by translocation is maintained over many generations. The aim of this project is to examine the extent of genetic mixing in artificial hybrid populations of the intertidal snail Bembicium vittatum, established in 1993 (Parsons 1997).

  • Supplement – December 2017 – Survey of the Literature on Recent
    A Malacological Journal ISSN 1565-1916 No. 36 - SUPPLEMENT DECEMBER 2017 2 SURVEY OF THE LITERATURE ON RECENT SHELLS FROM THE RED SEA (third enlarged and revised edition) L.J. van Gemert* Summary This literature survey lists approximately 3,050 references. Shells are being considered here as the shell bearing molluscs of the Gastropoda, Bivalvia and Scaphopoda. The area does not only comprise the Red Sea, but also the Gulf of Aden, Somalia and the Suez Canal, including the Lessepsian species in the Mediterranean Sea. Literature on fossils shells, particularly those from the Holocene, Pleistocene and Pliocene, is listed too. Introduction My interest in recent shells from the Red Sea dates from about 1996. Since then, I have been, now and then, trying to obtain information on this subject. Some years ago I decide to stop gathering data in a haphazard way and to do it more properly. This resulted in a first survey of approximately 1,420 and a second one of 2,025 references (van Gemert, 2010 & 2011). Since then, this survey has again been enlarged and revised and a number of errors have been corrected. It contains now approximately 3,050 references. Scope In principle every publication in which molluscs are reported to live or have lived in the Red Sea should be listed in the survey. This means that besides primary literature, i.e. articles in which researchers are reporting their finds for the first time, secondary and tertiary literature, i.e. reviews, monographs, books, etc are to be included too. These publications were written not only by a wide range of authors ranging from amateur shell collectors to professional malacologists but also people interested in the field of archaeology, geology, etc.
