INTRODUCTION For many years West African molluscs have been studied and described, but priority to those of size. small was always given large Only recently, very molluscs have come to the attention of authors. some They are now better known but many of them are still in awaiting study. Concerning the Rissoidae the study area and nearby, we must mention the of Verduin Amati papers (1984), (1987), Ponder (1989), Gofas (1995), Giannuzzi-Savelli et al. and Ardovini (1996), & Cossignani (2004), amongothers. MATERIAL AND METHODS in In some trips of the authors to Dakar, Senegal, 2002and 2003, numerous sediments ofbeach drift and small live species were collected.Additionalmaterialof sediments was loanedby Jacques Pelorce from 2001-2003. This was studied and compared with material from Mauritania, visited the author in 1996 in by senior companyof Jose Templado and Federico Rubio. -

THE LISTING of PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T
August 2017 Guido T. Poppe A LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS - V1.00 THE LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T. Poppe INTRODUCTION The publication of Philippine Marine Mollusks, Volumes 1 to 4 has been a revelation to the conchological community. Apart from being the delight of collectors, the PMM started a new way of layout and publishing - followed today by many authors. Internet technology has allowed more than 50 experts worldwide to work on the collection that forms the base of the 4 PMM books. This expertise, together with modern means of identification has allowed a quality in determinations which is unique in books covering a geographical area. Our Volume 1 was published only 9 years ago: in 2008. Since that time “a lot” has changed. Finally, after almost two decades, the digital world has been embraced by the scientific community, and a new generation of young scientists appeared, well acquainted with text processors, internet communication and digital photographic skills. Museums all over the planet start putting the holotypes online – a still ongoing process – which saves taxonomists from huge confusion and “guessing” about how animals look like. Initiatives as Biodiversity Heritage Library made accessible huge libraries to many thousands of biologists who, without that, were not able to publish properly. The process of all these technological revolutions is ongoing and improves taxonomy and nomenclature in a way which is unprecedented. All this caused an acceleration in the nomenclatural field: both in quantity and in quality of expertise and fieldwork. The above changes are not without huge problematics. Many studies are carried out on the wide diversity of these problems and even books are written on the subject. -
Frugivory and Seed Dispersal in the Endemic Cactus Eulychnia Acida: Extending the Anachronism Hypothesis to the Chilean Mediterranean Ecosystem Rocío A
Cares et al. Revista Chilena de Historia Natural (2018) 91:9 Revista Chilena de https://doi.org/10.1186/s40693-018-0079-4 Historia Natural SHORTREPORT Open Access Frugivory and seed dispersal in the endemic cactus Eulychnia acida: extending the anachronism hypothesis to the Chilean Mediterranean ecosystem Rocío A. Cares1†, Consuelo Sáez-Cordovez1†, Alfonso Valiente-Banuet2, Rodrigo Medel1* and Carezza Botto-Mahan1 Abstract Background: Eulychnia acida is an endemic Chilean cactus species whose fruits show several traits that, taken as a whole, are compatible with a seed dispersal syndrome by large herbivore vertebrates. Since only a few large native mammals exist in Chile at present, cactus fruit consumption and seed dispersal may be coopted by introduced mammals as predicted by Janzen and Martin’s (1982) hypothesis for tropical ecosystems. Findings: We describe the current frugivore species of E. acida in a protected semiarid-Mediterranean ecosystem using field measurements and feeding experiments. In addition, to examine a potential role as seed dispersers of the cactus species, we offered fruits and performed germination tests on seeds defecated by Lama guanicoe and the introduced goat Capra a. hircus under captivity conditions. Our data indicate that while fruits of E. acida are pecked by the Chilean tinamou, Nothoprocta perdicaria, and the Chilean mockingbird, Mimus thenca, and eaten by the brush-tailed rodent, Octodon degus, none of these species could be considered a legitimate seed disperser. Unlike L. guanicoe, the goat C. a. hircus did not reduce seed germination, having a neutral effect. Conclusions: Results from this study indicate that introduced C. a. hircus was the only species showing a potential role in the seed dispersal process of E. -

Adams, 1863) is redescribed based on newly obtained material from Japan. The diagnosis of the genus is also revised. Hemiliostraca capreolus n. sp. was previously misidentied as H. samoensis in museum collections and in literature. This new species was collected from Okinawa-jima Island and Amami-Oshima Island, southern Japan, and can be distinguished from H. samoensis by its distinct color patterns and markings. A recently collected specimen from an unidentied species of ophiuroid from Wakayama Prefecture, central Japan, is herein conrmed to be identiable with H. conspurcata, which has not been recorded since its originally description from central Japan in 1863. Hemiliostraca tenuis n. sp. was collected from an unidentied species of sponge and the ophiuroid Ophiarachnella septemspinosa from Kume-jima Island, southern Japan. -

This latitudinal trend is markedly different from trends for terres- trial clades. The zonal variation in C/NC ratios within bins is largely due to differences in geographic ranges of the groups; for example, tropical carnivorous species range farther than non-carnivorous ones, thus overlapping them in more latitudinal bins. Differences in the distribution and diversity of carnivorous and non-carnivorous species may arise from a number of sources, including variability of primary production in the tropical eastern Pacific, patchiness of substrates to which non-carnivores are adapted, narrow dietary specializations of tropical carnivores, and higher provinciality found in extratropical regions.

Low Phylogeographic Structure of Rhinella Arunco (Anura: Bufonidae)
Vásquez et al. Zoological Studies 2013, 52:35 http://www.zoologicalstudies.com/content/52/1/35 RESEARCH Open Access Low phylogeographic structure of Rhinella arunco (Anura: Bufonidae), an endemic amphibian from the Chilean Mediterranean hotspot Dayana Vásquez1, Claudio Correa1,2*, Luis Pastenes1, R Eduardo Palma2 and Marco A Méndez1 Abstract Background: The Mediterranean zone of central Chile (30° to 38°S) is one of the 25 diversity hotspots in the world. However, there are few phylogeographic studies which identify the factors that have influenced population diversification in the fauna of this area. In this study, we investigated the phylogeographic structure of Rhinella arunco, an anuran endemic to Mediterranean Chile, using 160 individuals from 23 localities representative of its entire distribution (32° to 38°S). Results: The haplotype network revealed four haplogroups, three of which overlap geographically and only one of which has an exclusive geographic distribution. An analysis of molecular variance indicated that neither watershed limits nor the main rivers in the current distribution of this species have been important geographic barriers against the dispersion of individuals. Finally, the Geneland analysis showed three population units, one of which concurs with one of the haplogroups found in the haplotype network. Together, these analyses indicated a low level of phylogeographic structure for this species. On the other hand, the highest levels of intrapopulational genetic variation were concentrated in the central part of the distribution (33° to 34°S), which may indicate an effect of Pleistocene glaciations on the genetic diversity of the populations in the extreme south of its range. Conclusions: The low phylogeographic structure observed in R.
