  • The West African Enigma: Systematics, Evolution, and Palaeobiogeography of Cardiid Bivalve Procardium
    The West African enigma: Systematics, evolution, and palaeobiogeography of cardiid bivalve Procardium JAN JOHAN TER POORTEN and RAFAEL LA PERNA Poorten, J.J. ter and La Perna, R. 2017. The West African enigma: Systematics, evolution, and palaeobiogeography of cardiid bivalve Procardium. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 62 (4): 729–757. Procardium gen. nov. is proposed for a group of early Miocene to Recent large cardiids in the subfamily Cardiinae. The type species is Cardium indicum, the only living representative, previously assigned to the genus Cardium. It is a mainly West African species, with a very limited occurrence in the westernmost Mediterranean. Procardium gen. nov. and Cardium differ markedly with regard to shell characters and have distinct evolutionary and biogeographic histories. Six species, in the early Miocene to Pleistocene range, and one Recent species are assigned to the new genus: Procardium magnei sp. nov., P. jansseni sp. nov., P. danubianum, P. kunstleri, P. avisanense, P. diluvianum, and P. indicum. During the Miocene, Procardium gen. nov. had a wide distribution in Europe, including the Proto-Mediterranean Sea, Western and Central Paratethys and NE Atlantic, with a maximum diversity during the Langhian and Serravallian. Its palaeobio- geographic history was strongly controlled by climate. During the Langhian stage, warm conditions allowed the genus to reach its highest latitude, ca. 54° N, in the southern North Sea Basin. With cooling, its latitudinal range gradually retreated southward, becoming mainly Mediterranean in the Pliocene–Pleistocene, and West African at present. Key words: Bivalvia, Cardiidae, systematics, Neogene, Quaternary, Africa, Europe.

(AG, NA); WWF, Karachi office, Bungalow # 46/K, Block 6, P.E.C.H.S, Shahrah-e-Faisal, Karachi (MM). email: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT: Main object of the study was to record the composition and diversity of intertidal molluscan species of the Bandri Beach along the Jiwani coast, Balochistan to develop baseline data information which could be helpful in future conservation perspective. The study revealed the presence of ninety eight (98) species comprising of sixty eight (68) gastropods, twenty six (26) bivalves, two (2) scaphopods, one (1) Polyplacophora and one (1) Cephalopod species at two selected points of the Bandri Beach, Jiwani coast. Among these molluscan species, members of cerithids, trochid Umbonium vestairium, bivalve Branchidontes variabilis and oyster Crassostrea madrasensis were found in abundance. Study presents the first report on the occurrence of molluscan species in the area. KEYWORDS: Molluscs, checklist, Bandri Beach, Jiwani, Balochistan coast, Pakistan. INTRODUCTION Molluscan species of Pakistan coast especially those found along the Sindh coast have been studied extensively and several authors have published papers on species diversity, distribution, and abundance (Burney and Barkati, 1995; Nasreen et al., 2000; Rahman and Barkati, 2004; Afsar et al., 2012; Rahman and Barkati, 2012; Afsar et al., 2013 a,b), as compared to molluscan abunadance and distribution studies along Balochistan coast.

Ecological RESEARCH correlates of arrival, establishment and spread of Red Sea bivalves in the Mediterranean Sea Rafał Nawrot1*, Devapriya Chattopadhyay2 and Martin Zuschin1 1Department of Palaeontology, University of ABSTRACT Vienna, Althanstrasse 14, Vienna 1090, Aim The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 re-established the direct link Austria, 2Department of Earth Sciences, between long-separated biogeographic realms, allowing hundreds of marine Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata, Mohanpur, species to spread from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. We use marine bival- WB-741246, India ves to relate species-level attributes to successful transition through successive stages of the invasion process. Location Mediterranean and Red Sea. Methods We compiled data on taxonomic composition, body size, life habit A Journal of Conservation Biogeography and geographic distribution of the Red Sea bivalve fauna from published litera- ture, museum collections and our own field surveys. Using multimodel infer- ence, we examined selectivity of the Lessepsian invasion and identify traits that distinguish successful species at three major stages of invasion: arrival, estab- lishment and spread. Results The upper limit of bathymetric range and occurrence outside the trop- ical zone in other regions are the strongest predictors of successful transition through the Suez Canal. Establishment in the Mediterranean is positively corre- lated with earlier arrival and association with hard-bottom habitats. Preference for hard substrates together with large body size is the primary factor distin- guishing invasive aliens representing a significant threat to recipient ecosystems from other established species.
