Verde Chiaro Filatelia 2 0.Pdf Filatelia Philately Regina Paola Moscatelli members of the Team of the International Teaching Malacology Project versione 2 .0 pagina 1 Questo lavoro è parte del Progetto Internazionale per l’Insegnamento della Malacologia ed è dedicato ad attività educative. Quindi non è per profitto e non può essere venduto o usato per fini commerciali. Dobbiamo un ringraziamento a tutti coloro che ci hanno messo a disposizione le loro foto. Queste sono usate esclusivamente per finalità educative all’interno del progetto e hanno requisiti scientifici, educativi e non per profitto. Le immagini usate rimangono di proprietà degli autori e a questo scopo sulle immagini del database fotografico del progetto è scritto il loro nome. In questo lavoro sono scritti solo i nomi diversi da quelli degli autori di questo volume. Questa prima edizione sarà sicuramente oggetto di revisioni effettuate, nell'ambito del progetto, sulla base di collaborazioni con gli altri paesi partecipanti. This work is part of the International Teaching Malacology Project and is dedicated to educational activities. It has therefore not for profit and may not be sold or used for commercial purposes . We owe thanks to all those from whom we took some photos. These were used exclusively for educational purposes within the project and meet the requirements in terms of scientific , educational and not for profit usage. The images used remain the property of the authors and for this purpose on the images of the photographic database of the project is written their name. In this work, are written only the names different by the authors of this volume. This first edition will surely be subject to revisions that will aris, in the context of the project , based on collaborations with the other participating countries . pagina 2 Gli alunni sono abituati a raccogliere tutto e i francobolli sono tra i favoriti sia a causa dei loro colori, delle immagini e della facile disponibilità, ma anche perché sono più economici di altre collezioni. Renato Moscatelli era un amico del nostro "Museo Settepassi". Era a suo agio in classe e dopo la sua prima visita al nostro Museo ha partecipato con grande assiduità alle nostre iniziative. Ci ha donato una superba collezione di conchiglie del Brasile. Dedichiamo questa sezione a lui e a sua figlia Regina Paola che ha molto gentilmente reso disponibile il libro scritto da suo padre. Procederemo mostrando tutti i francobolli illustrati in questo suo libro sperando che possa essere una guida di grande utilità per tutti gli alunni. NOTA: questo non è un catalogo, ma solo una rappresentazione semplificata della grande opera di Renato. Il libro è stato stampato nel 1984 quindi non è tassonomicamente aggiornato. Le dimensioni e il rapporto a/l delle immagini non sono reali e sono adattati alle esigenze grafiche delle pagine. Ricordiamo che il nostro scopo è solo quello di incoraggiare gli alunni a scoprire la filatelia malacologica. The pupils are used to collect all and the stamps are the favourites one because of their colors, images and easy availability, observe that them are chipest than other collections. Renato Moscatelli was a friends of our "Museum Settepassi". He was at ease in the classroom and after his first visit to our Museum participated with great assiduity to our initiatives. Gave us a superb collection of shells of Brazil. We dedicate this section to him and his daughter Regina Paola who has very kindly made availability to the book written by his father. We will proceed with constancy to submit all the stamps illustrated in this book hoping that it will be a great and useful guide for all pupils. NOTE: this is not a catalog but only a simplified representation of the big work of Renato. The book was printed on 1984 so it is not taxonomically updated. Size and ratio of the images are not real and are adapted to the pages needs. Remember: our scope is to encourage the pupils to discover the malacological philately. pagina 3 Ecco la copertina del bel lavoro di Renato Moscatelli.

In such cases DNA sequence analysis may help to distinguish between species. In this work partial sequences from the small mitochondrial ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) gene, the small nuclear ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA) gene, a short intron of the nuclear calmodulin (Cal) gene, and the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene are shown to differ significantly between the genomes of what generally had been considered to be merely two morphological variants of the common Western Atlantic naticid Neverita duplicata (Say, 1822). Sequence differences between the two forms of Neverita duplicata are similar to differences between either of these two forms and the Eastern Pacific Neverita reclusiana (Deshayes, 1839), the Indopacific Neverita didyma (Röding, 1798), and the Mediterranean Neverita josephinia (Risso, 1826). The COI sequences divergence between the two forms of Neverita duplicata is in the range of the average COI sequences divergence reported for congeneric species of Mollusca (Hebert 2003).

  • 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.

These training courses are of two types: group courses of about one month for some 15 participants and individual training on particular topics for one or two participants. The present course was of the second type. This time we welcomed our first trainee from the Federated States of Micronesia. Micronesia is a country comprising more than 600 islands distributed over a wide area from east to west in the Caroline archipelago in the Pacific. This geographical context of scattered Pacific islands means that the present status of cultural heritage in Micronesia is not sufficiently understood. Moreover, the scarcity of specialist involved in the protection and investigation of cultural heritage means that in most cases foreign teams are invited to conduct work.

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.

  • Gradual Miocene to Pleistocene Uplift of the Central American Isthmus: Evidence from Tropical American Tonnoidean Gastropods Alan G
    J. Paleont., 75(3), 2001, pp. 706±720 Copyright q 2001, The Paleontological Society 0022-3360/01/0075-706$03.00 GRADUAL MIOCENE TO PLEISTOCENE UPLIFT OF THE CENTRAL AMERICAN ISTHMUS: EVIDENCE FROM TROPICAL AMERICAN TONNOIDEAN GASTROPODS ALAN G. BEU Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences, P O Box 30368, Lower Hutt, New Zealand, ,[email protected]. ABSTRACTÐTonnoidean gastropods have planktotrophic larval lives of up to a year and are widely dispersed in ocean currents; the larvae maintain genetic exchange between adult populations. They therefore are expected to respond rapidly to new geographic barriers by either extinction or speciation. Fossil tonnoideans on the opposite coast of the Americas from their present-day range demonstrate that larval transport still was possible through Central America at the time of deposition of the fossils. Early Miocene occurrences of Cypraecassis tenuis (now eastern Paci®c) in the Caribbean probably indicate that constriction of the Central American seaway had commenced by Middle Miocene time. Pliocene larval transport through the seaway is demonstrated by Bursa rugosa (now eastern Paci®c) in Caribbean Miocene-latest Pliocene/Early Pleistocene rocks; Crossata ventricosa (eastern Paci®c) in late Pliocene rocks of Atlantic Panama; Distorsio clathrata (western Atlantic) in middle Pliocene rocks of Ecuador; Cymatium wiegmanni (eastern Paci®c) in middle Pliocene rocks of Atlantic Costa Rica; Sconsia sublaevigata (western Atlantic) in Pliocene rocks of Darien, Paci®c Panama; and Distorsio constricta (eastern Paci®c) in latest Pliocene-Early Pleistocene rocks of Atlantic Costa Rica. Continued Early or middle Pleistocene connections are demonstrated by Cymatium cingulatum (now Atlantic) in the Armuelles Formation of Paci®c Panama.

Centre of Advanced Study in Marine Biology, Faculty of Marine Sciences, Annamalai University, Parangipettai, Tamil Nadu, India _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The marine biodiversity of the southeast coast of India is rich and much of the world’s wealth of biodiversity is found in highly diverse coastal habitats. A present study was carried out on marine gastropod accessibility among Palk Bay region of Tamilnadu coastline to identify, quantify and assess the shell resources potential for development of a small-scale shell industry. A large collection of marine gastropod was made among the coastal line of Mallipattinam and Kottaipattinam found 61 species (25 families) of marine gastropods over a 12 months period from Aug- 2011 to July- 2012. A totally of 61 species belonging to 55 species of 40 genera were recorded at station 1 and 56 species belonging to 41 genera were identified at station 2. Most of the species were common in both landings centre with slight differences but some species like Turritella duplicate, Strombus canarium, Cyprae onyxadusta, Marginella angustata, and Harpa major were available in station 1 not available in station 2. The present study revealed that the occurrence of marine gastropods species along the Palk Bay region of Tamilnadu coastline. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Though marine science has established much attention in Tamilnadu coastline in the recent years, marine mollusks studies are still overseen by many researchers.

  • Evolution, Distribution, and Phylogenetic Clumping of a Repeated Gastropod Innovation
    Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2017, 180, 732–754. With 5 figures. The varix: evolution, distribution, and phylogenetic clumping of a repeated gastropod innovation NICOLE B. WEBSTER1* and GEERAT J. VERMEIJ2 1Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 2E9 2Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA Received 27 June 2016; revised 4 October 2016; accepted for publication 25 October 2016 A recurrent theme in evolution is the repeated, independent origin of broadly adaptive, architecturally and function- ally similar traits and structures. One such is the varix, a shell-sculpture innovation in gastropods. This periodic shell thickening functions mainly to defend the animal against shell crushing and peeling predators. Varices can be highly elaborate, forming broad wings or spines, and are often aligned in synchronous patterns. Here we define the different types of varices, explore their function and morphological variation, document the recent and fossil distri- bution of varicate taxa, and discuss emergent patterns of evolution. We conservatively found 41 separate origins of varices, which were concentrated in the more derived gastropod clades and generally arose since the mid-Mesozoic. Varices are more prevalent among marine, warm, and shallow waters, where predation is intense, on high-spired shells and in clades with collabral ribs. Diversification rates were correlated in a few cases with the presence of varices, especially in the Muricidae and Tonnoidea, but more than half of the origins are represented by three or fewer genera. Varices arose many times in many forms, but generally in a phylogenetically clumped manner (more frequently in particular higher taxa), a pattern common to many adaptations.

    VISTAS Vol. 7, No. 1, 2018, pp. 12-15 ISSN: 2319-5770, e-ISSN 2394-1138 A STUDY ON THE BIODIVERSITY OF GASTROPODE & BIVALVE MOLLUSCS IN MUNAKKAL & SNEHATHEERAM BEACHES OF THRISSUR DISTRICT Anis K.V.* *Department of Zoology, St. Joseph’s College (Autonomous) Irinjalakuda, Thrissur 680121, Kerala, India. ABSTRACT Diversity of Gastropod & Bivalve molluscs in Munakkal & Snehatheeram beaches was assessed. The samples were collected for a period of 3 months and species diversity was analyzed. Bivalves belonging to four different orders were identified. They are veneroida, Mytiloida, Ostreoida, & Pectinoida. Identified Gastropods were included in the Orders Neogastropoda, Littorinimorpha & Caenogastropoda. Key words: Bivalves, Gastropods, Veneroida, Mytiloida, Ostreoida, Pectinoida, Neogastropoda, Littorinimorpha,Caenogastropoda INTRODUCTION Molluscs, Commonly called the ‘shelled fishes’ are among the best known of all invertebrate animals. Mollusca is the second largest animal phylum, next to Arthropoda. They are highly adaptive and they have successfully colonized both aquatic & terrestrial environments. Bivalvia is group of bilaterally symmetrical and laterally compressed molluscs, with paired right and left mantle lobes and a bivalve calcareous shell. Bivalvia is the second largest group of phylum Mollusca, comprising an estimated 15,000 odd species. Bivalves are especially adapted for exploiting the benthic habitat, where they are safe from predators. A perfect understanding of the bivalve diversity of the coastal system is an essential prerequisite for implementation of sustainable utilization of bivalve resources and for adopting suitable conservation measures the gastropods (snails and slugs) are by far the most numerous molluscs in terms of classified species, and account for 80% of the total. The class Gastropoda has an extraordinary diversification of habitats.

(Plates xxxi-xxxii.) No connected account of the shells known as Helmet Shells has yet appeared in Australian literature, though many species have been listed by Hedley, Verco, May, Pritchard, Gatliff and Gabriel. The majority of these occur in temperate Australian waters, and many different inter­ pretations of the species exist. An attempt is here made to correlate the information available by means of the material gathered together in the Australian Museum, supplemented by loan of specimens from the workers above named, and to supply a criticism of literature. This review was begun some years ago and has proved of a very complex nature, both as regards the literary side and the conchological aspect. True Helmet Shells ,are common to the tropics, one or two species reaching into northern Australia, but in Australia, more numerously in the southern parts, many species of what may be termed" False Helmet" shells occur. Hitherto these two main groups have been commonly recognized, but sometimes only subgeneric rank has been allowed the latter. Many sub-groups have been accepted, but generally authors have differed as to the extent and nomination of these groups.
