Top: Bajkov’s Figure 2, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [female], 500 mm. in length from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Bottom: Bajkov’s Figure 3, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [male], 590 mm. in length, from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Although only sketches, Bajkov’s figures well illustrate the most characteristic features of this most characteristic Jasper native fish. These are: the terminal mouth cleft bisecting the anterior profile at its midpoint, the elongated head with tapered snout, flat skull, long lower jaw, and eyes placed high on the head (Cavender 1980:300-302; compare with Cavender’s Figure 3). The head structure of bull trout is well suited to an ambush-type predatory style, in which the charr rests on the bottom and watches for prey to pass over. ABSTRACT I conducted an extensive survey of published and unpublished documents to identify the native fish stocks of Jasper National Park, describe their original condition, determine if there is anything unusual or especially significant about them, assess their present condition, outline what is known of their biology and life history, and outline what measures should be taken to manage and protect them.

(Myrsinaceae) in north­ eastern India (Thysanoptera: Tubulifera: Phlaeothripidae) With 11 figures Heishnam Taptamani, Ramaiyer VAratharajan and A nantanarayanan Raman Summary Biology of the epiphyllous roll-gall-inducing Thlibothrips manipurensis was studied on Ardisia sp. under laboratory conditions. T manipurensis laid eggs linearly along the margins of tender leaves. Eggs hatched in 6.8 d and the larval duration was 3.4 and 8.2 d for larvae I and II, respectively. After 20.2 h as prepupa, T manipurensis grew into pupa; adult emergence occurred in 4 d. Each female laid 34±7 eggs and the mean longevity of the adult was 10.2 d. Increase in thrips numbers correlated with the age of the gall: 15 individ- uals/gall occurred in young (4—10 d) galls, whereas 28 occurred in mature (20 d) galls, and 36 in old (25 d) galls. Male-female ratio in old galls was 1:5. Mature galls included a homogeneous tissue structure, made of 12-15 layers of parenchyma cells with no distinction into spongy and palisade cells.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

    Blackwell Science, LtdOxford, UKAENAustralian Journal of Entomology1326-67562004 Australian Entomological SocietyMarch 20044312837Original ArticleAustralian long-tailed gall thripsLaurence A Mound Australian Journal of Entomology (2004) 43, 28–37 Australian long-tailed gall thrips (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripinae, Leeuweniini), with comments on related Old World taxa Laurence A Mound CSIRO Entomology, GPO Box 1700, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia. Abstract The Tribe Leeuweniini is a group of Old World Phlaeothripinae species that feed and usually induce irregular galls on the leaves of rainforest trees. These thrips all have the last abdominal segment unusually elongate, but this is a variable and homoplastic character state, and the tribe remains ill- defined. Worldwide, 27 species in three genera are now recognised, with five other generic names here included as synonyms of Leeuwenia Karny. From Australia, six species in two genera are recorded here occurring in the eastern rainforests. Four newly described Australian species and their host plants are: Leeuwenia diospyri sp. n. (Diospyros pentamera–Ebenaceae); L. polyosmae sp. n. (Polyosma cunninghamii–Grossulariaceae); L. scolopiae sp. n. (Scolopia braunii–Flacourtiaceae); and L. tetrastigmae sp. n. (Tetrastigma nitens–Vitaceae). The host association of L. convergens Hood is not known, but the sixth species, Neohoodiella jennibeardae Mound and Williams, breeds on two unrelated plants of which the leaves are similar in texture – Ficus coronata (Moraceae) and Rhipogonum elseyanum (Smilacaceae).

  • Seventy-Five Years of Molluscs: a History of the American
    Amer. Malac. Bull. 28: 191-213 (2010) Seventy-fi ve years of molluscs: A history of the American Malacological Society on the occasion of its 75th annual meeting Paula M. Mikkelsen Paleontological Research Institution, 1259 Trumansburg Road, Ithaca, New York 14850, U.S.A. Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: The American Malacological Union (now Society), founded in 1931 as a national organization of collectors, students, professionals, and others interested in the holistic study of molluscs, is now an international society mainly of professionals. Although diminished in size, it continues to attract and fund students, publish a respected peer-reviewed journal, and host annual meetings featuring world-class symposia. In recognition of the society’s 75th annual meeting in 2009, I provide a detailed account of the founding, meetings, membership, publications, governance, and societal identity of AMS, gleaned from meeting programs, newsletters, scrapbooks, correspondence, and the memories of Past Presidents and other members. Anniversaries are times of celebration, remembering, Congress as the Populist Party candidate in 1898, and for refl ection, and summarizing. The 75th annual meeting1 of the governor of Maine in 1900 as the Socialist Party candidate American Malacological Union (AMU; now Society, hereaf- (Martin 1995, Murray 1999, see additional references on ter AMS) held in Ithaca, New York, in the summer of 2009, Lermond cited by Coan et al. 2009). Lermond’s museum was no exception. Today’s AMS is fraught with problems: included Indian artifacts, rocks and minerals, herbarium diminishing membership, increasing costs, decreasing return specimens, stuffed mammals and birds, bird eggs and nests, on investments, and fewer and fewer members willing to hold pinned insects, and the largest shell collection in the state of offi ce.

  • The Black~-Banded Sunfish ~ Enneacanthu~ Chaetodon
    THE BLACK~-BANDED SUNFISH ~ ENNEACANTHU~ CHAETODON The Blac~-banded Sunfish was one of the first native fishes to be kept by American aquartsts, Shimmering silver and black, gliding majestically through the aquascape, they present an exciting cha­ llenge to the keeper of indigenous fishes. To encourage fellow aquar.~3tS to acquire and breed this miniature beauty We will att­ empt to review past literature and relate it to our own·observa­ tions. The Black-banded Sunfish belongs to the order of "perch-shaped :f5_sh~':s" or Perciformes, sub-order Percoidei, and the family Cen­ tx·archidae,Named Pomotis chaetodon by Baird in .L854, it was later renamed Mesogonist~us chaetodor and is currently known as Ennea­ canthus chaetodon. We affectionately call them "chaets" ("keets") to s~mpl~fy th~ngs. · Stoye (1971) notes that E. chaetodon (chaets) were first collect- .ed in the.swamps of Southern New Jersey and introduced into Ger­ many in 1897, although they were not kept by American aquarists until 1910. In addition to New Jersey the range includes Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida. Informative reports by Quinn {1967a,b) and Coombs(l97J) recorded water acidity at 6,4 pH and below in some areas. Quinn observes that "waving fronds of sphagnum moss" and decaying plant material are abundant in the lowlands of the pine barrensa these factors account, for the most part, for the acidic water quality. Although we have ·acclimated chaets to 8,2 pH water, we found that they stayed in better health and bred when maintained at 7,0 pH or be­ low.

This species occurs Shells of Buccinid ae tend to be simple, and offer few in upper continental slope communities (183- 578 m) of the readily discernible morphological characters. These are Caribbean Sea and the northern coast of South America . The subject to convergence, especia lly in polar regions and holotype was collected dead in 2,633 rn, well below the depth the deep sea, where effects of habitat on shell form are inhabited by this species.
