A New Species of Genus Columbella (Gastropoda, Columbellidae) from the Rio De Janeiro Coast, Brazil
Strombus(2007) - ISSN 0104-7531 A new species of genus Columbella (Gastropoda, Columbellidae) from the Rio de Janeiro coast, Brazil Luiz Ricardo L. Simone Museu de Zoologia da USP; Cx. Postal 42494; 04299-970 São Paulo, SP, Brazil; [email protected] Abstract Columbella costa, a new species from off Saquarema, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is described. This new species is characterized by its obesity; high spire; smooth, glossy surface; and by a deeper water habitat of 30-35 m. This is the second species of the genus found off the Brazilian coast and the only one occurring in its bathymetric range. Key Words: Columbella costa, new species, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, deep waters. Resumo Columbella costa, uma espécie nova, é descrita para a região ao largo de Saquarema, Rio de Janeiro. A espécie nova é caracterizada pela altura e obesidade da espira, superfície brilhante e lisa e pelo habitat mais profundo (30-35 m). Esta é a segunda espécie do gênero na costa brasileira e a única a ocorrer naquela batimetria. Palavras-chave: Columbella costa, espécie nova, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, águas profundas.

Approaches in Archaeo-Malacology

OCCUPATION, FUNCTIONALITY AND MANAGEMENT OF MEAT RESOURCES. LUA VALENZUELA S'Illot des Porros is an archaeological necropolis located on an islet on the north-east of Majorca, distant, only 25 meters from the island coast. The better known structures date from 4th‐3rd c. BC, and they consist of three collective burial chambers, although there are some funerary remains which belong to the 6th • 5th c. BC, at the beginning of the second Iron Age in Majorca (Post‐talaiotic or Balearic period). Prior its use as a necropolis, several unidentified structures containing abundant faunal remains (NSIP=5260) were excavated. These structures date from the middle and final Bronze Age or Naviform period (ca. 1600/900‐850 BC). The faunal remains were associated with a special kind of pottery ‐tonels1-, some of them decorated, a particularly unusual for this period. This work will present the first results obtained in the PhD "The Bronze Age in Mallorca. A perspective from zooarchaeology". It will discuss certain aspects of the landscape and environment, the species present at the site, and the deficiency of remains of marine origin for human consumption in this and other contexts of prehistoric Majorca. 1 They are thought to be used for storing food and for exchange.

This process aims to achieve the Good Environmental Status (GES) through the elaborated 11 Ecological Objectives and their respective common indicators. Since 2008, Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention have adopted the EcAp and agreed on a roadmap for its implementation. First phases of the EcAp process led to the accomplishment of 5 steps of the scheduled 7-steps process such as: 1) Definition of an Ecological Vision for the Mediterranean; 2) Setting common Mediterranean strategic goals; 3) Identification of an important ecosystem properties and assessment of ecological status and pressures; 4) Development of a set of ecological objectives corresponding to the Vision and strategic goals; and 5) Derivation of operational objectives with indicators and target levels.

In questo articolo, i risultati dell’analisi tecno-funzionale condotta su tali ornamenti vengono presentati e discussi in un ampio contesto regionale che coinvolge possibili reti di scambio, strategie di mobilità e connessioni tra l’arco Alpino orientale e le regioni dell’Adriatico settentrionale.

Abstract - Exceptionally for the eastern Alpine region, this site of Riparo Biarzo (Julian Alps, Friuli) has yielded a rich ensemble of shell ornaments related to both Late Pleistocene (Epigravettian) and Early Holocene (Mesolithic) occupations. The results of the techno-functional analysis carried out on these ornaments are presented and discussed in a wider regional context, which entails exchange networks, mobility strategies and connectivity between the eastern Alpine and the north Adriatic regions. Key words: Late Pleistocene, Early Holocene, Foragers’ ornamental traditions, Shell ornaments, Marine and freshwater gastropods, Exchange-networks and mobility strategies. 1.

A total of five species have been determined which are all present in the modern fauna in the Mediterranean area and which are probably contemporary with the age of the site. An ornamental use is very probable because there are a lot of perforations which have also been studied using both a stereornicroscope and a scanning electron microscope.

Morphological Properties of Gastropod Shells in a Warmer and More Acidic Future Ocean Using 3D Micro-Computed Tomography

The present study aims to examine the effects of ocean acidification and warming on the shell morphological properties of two intertidal gastropod species, Nassarius nitidus and Columbella rustica. The experimental treatments lasted for 3 months and combined a temperature increase of 3◦C and a pH reduction of 0.3 units. The selected treatments reflected the high emissions (RCP 8.5) “business as usual” scenario of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change models for eastern Mediterranean. The morphological and architectural properties of the shell, such as Edited by: Jonathan Y. S.
