    CHAPTER 4: WHY JAPAN COULD NOT IMPLEMENT MASTER PLAN In Chapters 2 and 3 I showed how the Japanese had a good chance of winning the war if they adhered to the Draft Proposal for Hastening the End of War Against the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Chiang Kai-shek. The next question I would like to address is why, instead of being guided by the Draft Proposal, they veered far from it and ended up suffering an ignominious defeat. The most meticulous examination of the strategies in the Draft Proposal fails to yield even the faintest suggestion of engagements such as the Battle of Midway (considered the first step on the road to defeat, in which Japan lost four aircraft carriers) or the New Guinea campaign. Midway operation Nor do we find in the master plan (the Draft Proposal) language instructing the Japanese to head for Midway Atoll and from there, attack and destroy American aircraft carriers. As a matter of fact, occupying Midway Atoll was emphatically not in keeping with the policies in the Draft Proposal. I often hear comments like, “Remember the Doolittle Raid?1 To stave off such attacks we needed to shut down Midway, the advance base for attacks on Japan.” The Doolittle Raid did take the Japanese by surprise, but it was merely a clever scheme, a suicide attack that could be executed only once. The Americans launched 16 B-25 long-range bombers from the USS Hornet 500 nautical miles (900 kilometers) away from Japan, and proceeded to bomb Tokyo and other key cities.

  • Real Estate Recommendations
    Estate Agency Recommendations for Coenobita violascens Hannah Dugdale Introduction Terrestrial hermit crabs rely upon empty gastropod shells to protect themselves from predation, desiccation and environmental stress (Orno et al., 1998). A study on Isabel island, Mexico found that Coenobita compressus significantly preferred the shell Nerita scabricosta to 11 other species (Guillen & Osorno, 1993). This was attributed to the shell’s high internal volume to weight ratio, which enabled mobility (Osorno et al., 1998). This study on Aride island set out to discover which shell species C. violascens prefers and why. Methods The three shell species were beachcombed, numbered using permanent black marker and then varnished. Their aperture length and width were recorded, as were their weight, internal volume and body whorl length, which is a measure of internal volume. A scale of wear was applied as follows: 1 – near perfect condition, no holes in shell 2 – slightly worn, no holes, possible chipped aperture 3 – worn, no holes, shell may have broken aperture 4 – very worn, holes present but not in the body whorl 5 – extremely worn, hole in body whorl The closest wandering crab to a feeding station was selected and a free access experiment was conducted. As shell use may be influenced by shell availability (Turra & Leite, 2001), equal numbers of shells of each species were used. Crabs were placed in an experimental arena with two larger shells and two smaller shells of each species, comparative to their current shell. If the crab tried to flee within the first five minutes it was replaced in the arena, otherwise the experiment continued until the crab made its escape.

  • Intertidal Zonation of Two Gastropods, Nerita Plicata and Morula Granulata, in Moorea, French Polynesia
    INTERTIDAL ZONATION OF TWO GASTROPODS, NERITA PLICATA AND MORULA GRANULATA, IN MOOREA, FRENCH POLYNESIA VANESSA R. WORMSER Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720 USA Abstract. Intertidal zonation of organisms is a key factor in ecological community structure and the existence of fundamental and realized niches. The zonation of two species of gastropods, Nerita plicata and Morula granulata were investigated using field observations and lab experimentation. The Nerita plicata were found on the upper limits of the intertidal zone while the Morula granulata were found on the lower limits. The distribution of each species was observed and the possible causes of this zonation were examined. Three main factors, desiccation, flow resistance and shell size were tested for their zonation. In the field, shell measurements of each species were made to see if a vertical shell size gradient existed; the results showed an upshore shell size gradient for each species. In the lab, experiments were run to see if the zonation preference found in the field existed in the lab as well. This experiment confirmed that a zonation between these species does in fact exist. Additional experiments were run to test desiccation and flow resistance between each species. A difference in desiccation rates and flow resistance were found with the Nerita plicata being more resistant to both flow and desiccation. The findings of this study provide an understanding on why zonation between these two species could exist as well as why zonation is important within an intertidal community and ecosystems as a whole. Key words: community structure; gastropod; zonation; intertidal; morphometrics; Morula granulata; Nerita plicata; Mo’orea, French Polynesia; INTRODUCTION The main goal of an ecological survey is to because of the high species diversity, the explore and understand the key dynamic convenience of the habitat as well as the easy relationships among organisms living in a collection of the sessile organisms that inhabit community (Elton 1966).

Corresponding author: [email protected]. Presentado el 15 de abril de 2013, aceptado el 18 de junio de 2013, correcciones el 26 de junio de 2013. 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.

  • Biodiversity and Spatial Distribution of Molluscs in Tangerang Coastal Waters, Indonesia 1,2Asep Sahidin, 3Yusli Wardiatno, 3Isdradjad Setyobudiandi
    Biodiversity and spatial distribution of molluscs in Tangerang coastal waters, Indonesia 1,2Asep Sahidin, 3Yusli Wardiatno, 3Isdradjad Setyobudiandi 1 Laboratory of Aquatic Resources, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung, Indonesia; 2 Department of Fisheries, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung, Indonesia; 3 Department of Aquatic Resources Management, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, IPB University, Bogor, Indonesia. Corresponding author: A. Sahidin, [email protected] Abstract. Tangerang coastal water is considered as a degraded marine ecosystem due to anthropogenic activities such as mangrove conversion, industrial and agriculture waste, and land reclamation. Those activities may affect the marine biodiversity including molluscs which have ecological role as decomposer in bottom waters. The purpose of this study was to describe the biodiversity and distribution of molluscs in coastal waters of Tangerang, Banten Province- Indonesia. Samples were taken from 52 stations from April to August 2014. Sample identification was conducted following the website of World Register of Marine Species and their distribution was analyzed by Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) to elucidate the significant environmental factors affecting the distribution. The research showed 2194 individual of molluscs found divided into 15 species of bivalves and 8 species of gastropods. In terms of number, Lembulus bicuspidatus (Gould, 1845) showed the highest abundance with density of 1100-1517 indv m-2, probably due to its ability to live in extreme conditions such as DO < 0.5 mg L-1. The turbidity and sediment texture seemed to be key parameters in spatial distribution of molluscs. Key Words: bivalve, ecosystem, gastropod, sediment, turbidity. Introduction. Coastal waters are a habitat for various aquatic organisms including macroinvertebrates such as molluscs, crustaceans, polychaeta, olygochaeta and echinodermata.
