INTRODUCTION INLEIDING Because of the intraspecific variability and in some cases great Door hun variabiliteit en de soms zeer grote onderlinge overeen­ similarity of most species belonging to the family Personidae komst tussen de meeste soorten van de familie Personidae is er there has been much confusion among both taxonomists and veel verwarring geweest onder zowel taxonomen als verzame­ collectors about the identity of some species. laars betreffende de identiteit van sommige soorten.

  • Species Fact Sheet with Juga Hemphilli Hemphilli

    Species Fact Sheet with Juga Hemphilli Hemphilli

    SPECIES FACT SHEET Scientific Name: Juga hemphilli hemphilli (Henderson 1935) Common Name: barren juga Phylum: Mollusca Class: Gastropoda Order: Neotaenioglossa Family: Semisulcospiridae Taxonomic Note: Past genetic analysis by Lee et al. (2006) based on incorrectly identified museum voucher specimens suggested reassignment of the related subspecies Juga hemphilli dallesensis (and therefore the Juga hemphilli conspecifics, including Juga hemphilli hemphilli) to the genus Elimia. However, Foighil et al. (2009) conducted an additional analysis and determined that Juga hemphilli is indeed most closely related to other western Juga and should not be reassigned to the genus Elimia. Turgeon et al. (1998) do not recognize any subspecies of Juga hemphilli. Conservation Status: Global Status: G2T1 (May 2009) National Status: United States (N1) (June 2000) State Statuses: Oregon (S1), Wahington (S1) (NatureServe 2015) IUCN Red List: NE – Not evaluated Technical Description: This subspecies was originally described as Goniobasis hemphilli hemphilli (Henderson 1935). Burch (1982; 1989) revised this subspecies to the genus Juga to reflect the distribution of taxa west of the Continental Divide. Adult: Juga is a genus of medium-sized, aquatic, gilled snails traditionally treated as part of the subfamily Semisulcospirinae within the Pleuroceridae family, although the Semisulcospirinae subfamily was recently elevated to family level based on morphological and molecular evidence (Strong and Köhler 2009). The Pleuroceridae and Semisulcospiridae families both differ from the Hydrobiidae family in that the males lack a verge (male copulatory organ). The genus Juga is distinct from related pleurocerid snails based on reproductive anatomy and egg mass characters (Taylor 1966), as well as features of the ovipositor pore, radula, midgut, kidney, and pallial gonoduct (Strong and Frest 2007).

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF BENTHIC MOLLUSCS ALONG A DEPTH GRADIENT IN THE BAHAMAS Michael Joseph Dowgiallo, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Marjorie L. Reaka-Kudla Department of Biology, UMCP Species richness and abundance of benthic bivalve and gastropod molluscs was determined over a depth gradient of 5 - 244 m at Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas by deploying replicate benthic collectors at five sites at 5 m, 14 m, 46 m, 153 m, and 244 m for six months beginning in December 1993. A total of 773 individual molluscs comprising at least 72 taxa were retrieved from the collectors. Analysis of the molluscan fauna that colonized the collectors showed overwhelmingly higher abundance and diversity at the 5 m, 14 m, and 46 m sites as compared to the deeper sites at 153 m and 244 m. Irradiance, temperature, and habitat heterogeneity all declined with depth, coincident with declines in the abundance and diversity of the molluscs. Herbivorous modes of feeding predominated (52%) and carnivorous modes of feeding were common (44%) over the range of depths studied at Lee Stocking Island, but mode of feeding did not change significantly over depth. One bivalve and one gastropod species showed a significant decline in body size with increasing depth. Analysis of data for 960 species of gastropod molluscs from the Western Atlantic Gastropod Database of the Academy of Natural Sciences (ANS) that have ranges including the Bahamas showed a positive correlation between body size of species of gastropods and their geographic ranges. There was also a positive correlation between depth range and the size of the geographic range.

Amornsak Sawusdee1 (1) The Center of Academic Service, Walailak University, Tha Sala, Nakhon Si Thammarat, 80160 The results of observation of catching BSC by using collapsible crab trap and floating seine. According to the observation of aquatic animal which has been caught by main BSC fishing gears; floating seine and collapsible crab trap, there were 176 kind of aquatic animals. The catch aquatic animals are shown in the table1. In this study, aquatic animal was classified into 11 Groups; Blue Swimming Crab (Portunus Pelagicus), Coelenterata (coral animals, true jellies, sea anemones, sea pens), Helcionelloida (clam, bivalve, gastropod), Cephalopoda (sqiud, octopus), Chelicerata (horseshoe crab), Hoplocari(stomatopods), Decapod (shrimp), Anomura (hermit crab), Brachyura (crab), Echinoderm (sea cucambers, sea stars, sea urchins), Vertebrata (fish). Vertebrata was the main group that was captured by BSC fishing gears, more than 70 species. Next are Helcionelloida and Helcionelloida 38 species and 29 species respectively. The sample that has been classified were photographed and attached in appendix 1. However, some species were classified as unknow which are under the classification process and reconcile. There were 89 species that were captured by floating seine. The 3 main group that were captured by this fishing gear are Vertebrata (34 species), Brachyura (20 species) Helcionelloida and Echinoderm (10 Species). On the other hand, there were 129 species that were captured by collapsible crab trap.

Insgesamt können 24 Arten nachgewiesen werden. Tonnoidea weisen generell eine ungewöhnliche weite geographische und stratigraphische Verbreitung auf, wie sie bei anderen Gastropoden unbekannt ist. Dementsprechend sind die paratethyalen Arten meist auch in der mediterranen und der atlantischen Bioprovinz vertreten. Einige Arten treten zuerst im mittleren Miozän der Paratethys auf. Insgesamt dokumentiert die Verteilung der tonnoiden Gastropoden in der Parate- thys einen starken klimatischen Einfluss.

Vermeij; e-mail: [email protected] Downloaded from (Received 5 September 2013; accepted 10 February 2014) ABSTRACT The shells of many marine gastropods have ventrally directed serrations (serial projections) at the edge http://mollus.oxfordjournals.org/ of the adult outer lip. These poorly studied projections arise as extensions either of external spiral cords or of interspaces between cords. This paper describes taxonomic, phylogenetic, architectural and func- tional aspects of serrations. Cord-associated serrations occur in cerithiids, strombids, the personid Distorsio anus, ocenebrine muricids and some cancellariids. Interspace-associated serrations are phylo- genetically much more widespread, and occur in at least 16 family-level groups. The nature of serration may be taxonomically informative in some fissurellids, littorinids, strombids and costellariids, among other groups. Serrated outer lips occur only in gastropods in which the apex points more backward than upward, but the presence of serrations is not a necessary byproduct of the formation of spiral sculp- tural elements.

An outline of cassoidean phylogeny (Mollusca, Gastropoda). — Contr. Tert. Quatern. Geo!., 32(4): 97-132, 43 figs. Leiden, December 1995. The phylogeny of cassoidean gastropods is reviewed, incorporating most of the biological and palaeontological data from the literature. Several characters have been checked personally and some new data are presented and included in the cladistic analysis. The Laubierinioidea, Calyptraeoidea and Capuloidea are used as outgroups. Twenty-three apomorphies are discussed and used to define cassoid relations at the subfamily level. A classification is presented in which only three families are recognised. The Ranellidae contains the subfamilies Bursinae, Cymatiinae and Ranellinae. The Pisanianurinae is removed from the Ranellidae and attributed to the Laubierinioidea.The Cassidae include the Cassinae, Oocorythinae, Phaliinae and Tonninae. The Ranellinae and Oocorythinae are and considered the of their families. The third the both paraphyletic taxa are to represent stem-groups family, Personidae, cannot be subdivided and for anatomical evolved from Cretaceous into subfamilies reasons probably the same Early gastropod ancestor as the Ranellidae. have from Ranellidae the Late Cretaceous. The Cassidae (Oocorythinae) appears to branched off the (Ranellinae) during The first significant radiation of the Ranellidae/Cassidaebranch took place in the Eocene. The Tonninae represents the youngest branch of the phylogenetic tree. Key words — Neomesogastropoda, Cassoidea, ecology, morphology, fossil evidence, systematics. Dr F.
