  • Os Nomes Galegos Dos Moluscos
    A Chave Os nomes galegos dos moluscos 2017 Citación recomendada / Recommended citation: A Chave (2017): Nomes galegos dos moluscos recomendados pola Chave. http://www.achave.gal/wp-content/uploads/achave_osnomesgalegosdos_moluscos.pdf 1 Notas introdutorias O que contén este documento Neste documento fornécense denominacións para as especies de moluscos galegos (e) ou europeos, e tamén para algunhas das especies exóticas máis coñecidas (xeralmente no ámbito divulgativo, por causa do seu interese científico ou económico, ou por seren moi comúns noutras áreas xeográficas). En total, achéganse nomes galegos para 534 especies de moluscos. A estrutura En primeiro lugar preséntase unha clasificación taxonómica que considera as clases, ordes, superfamilias e familias de moluscos. Aquí apúntase, de maneira xeral, os nomes dos moluscos que hai en cada familia. A seguir vén o corpo do documento, onde se indica, especie por especie, alén do nome científico, os nomes galegos e ingleses de cada molusco (nalgún caso, tamén, o nome xenérico para un grupo deles). Ao final inclúese unha listaxe de referencias bibliográficas que foron utilizadas para a elaboración do presente documento. Nalgunhas desas referencias recolléronse ou propuxéronse nomes galegos para os moluscos, quer xenéricos quer específicos. Outras referencias achegan nomes para os moluscos noutras linguas, que tamén foron tidos en conta. Alén diso, inclúense algunhas fontes básicas a respecto da metodoloxía e dos criterios terminolóxicos empregados. 2 Tratamento terminolóxico De modo moi resumido, traballouse nas seguintes liñas e cos seguintes criterios: En primeiro lugar, aprofundouse no acervo lingüístico galego. A respecto dos nomes dos moluscos, a lingua galega é riquísima e dispomos dunha chea de nomes, tanto específicos (que designan un único animal) como xenéricos (que designan varios animais parecidos).

  • A Novel Interaction: the Thin Stripe Hermit Crab, Clibanarius
    A NOVEL INTERACTION: THE THIN STRIPE HERMIT CRAB, CLIBANARIUS VITTATUS, KILLS THE FLORIDA CROWN CONCH, MELONGENA CORONA, FOR ITS SHELL by Jennifer Cutter A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Charles E. Schmidt College of Science In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL August 2017 Copyright by Jennifer Cutter 2017 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Florida Atlantic University, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, and Dr. Donna Devlin for giving me the opportunity to conduct this fascinating study. I would also like to thank the other committee members (Dr. Vincent Encomio, Dr. Edward Proffitt, and Dr. William Brooks) for their help, advice, and guidance. This work was made possible through funding from the Indian River Lagoon Research Fellowship awarded by the Harbor Branch Foundation and a scholarship awarded by The Broward Shell Club. Additionally, I would like to thank Dr. Richard Turner for being willing to meet with me on several occasions to answer questions and share his vast knowledge. iv ABSTRACT Author: Jennifer Cutter Title: A Novel Interaction: The thin stripe hermit Crab, Clibanarius vittatus, kills the Florida crown conch, Melongena corona, for its shell Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Donna Devlin Degree: Master of Science Year: 2017 The hermit crab Clibanarius vittatus kills Melongena corona solely to acquire a better fitting shell. This finding is contrary to previous studies, which found that hermit crabs of other species cannot kill gastropods or, in most instances, remove freshly dead gastropods from their shells. This interaction cannot be classified as predation because Melongena tissue was never consumed.

  • Shell Utilization by the Hermit Crab, Diogenes Planimanus (Anomura: Diogenidae) from Karachi Coast, Pakistan
    Pakistan J. Zool., vol. 39(4), pp. 233-238, 2007. Shell Utilization by the Hermit Crab, Diogenes planimanus (Anomura: Diogenidae) From Karachi Coast, Pakistan MEHER FATIMA Institute of Marine Science, University of Karachi, Karachi, Karachi-75270. Abstract.- The purpose of present study was to investigate the shell utilization pattern of most abundant hermitcrab Diogenes planimanus. Hermit crabs were collected during June-August 2002. Out of 32 species of gastropod shells occupied the most frequent were Nevrita didyma, Bullia tranquebarica, Babylonia spirata and Thais lacera. Large size crabs (>5.0 mm sheild length, SL) were abundant at sublittoral zone, majority of which occupied three types of gastropod shells: N. didyma, B. spirata and T. lacera .Small size crabs (<5mm SL) were common in the intertidal zone occupying a wide variety of gastropod shells, most frequently occupied was Bullia spp. The largest size crab (l2.4 mm, SL) occupied T. lacera whereas the smallest ones were found in shells of N. didyma, Bullia spp. Anachis fauroti and Natica alapapilionis. Sex ratio was biased towards females (1:1.9) including majority of ovigerous females .The two sexes showed significant difference in shell occupancy, majority of males preferred light weight, low-spired N. didyma shells. Regression analyses between shell size and hermit crab size occupying B. spirata, N. didyma and T. lacera showed weak correlation and negatively allometric relationship between size of D. planimanus and shell size.

  • Le Crabe Marbré Pachygrapsus Marmoratus (Fabricius, 1787)
    1 Le crabe marbré Pachygrapsus marmoratus (Fabricius, 1787) Citation de cette fiche : Noël P., 2017. Le crabe marbré Pachygrapsus marmoratus (Fabricius, 1787). in Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle [Ed.], 17 août 2017. Inventaire national du Patrimoine naturel, pp. 1- 23, site web http://inpn.mnhn.fr Contact de l'auteur : Pierre Noël, UMS 2006 "Patrimoine naturel", Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, 43 rue Buffon (CP 48), 75005 Paris ; e-mail [email protected] Résumé. Le crabe marbré a une carapace plate, carrée, légèrement plus large que longue, avec trois dents antérolatérales, dent extra-orbitaire comprise ; son front est presque rectiligne. Les pinces sont subégales, lisses, avec un large espace entre les deux doigts qui ont un ongle terminal noir. Chez la femelle, l'abdomen recouvre presque tout le sternum ; le mâle a un abdomen relativement étroit et triangulaire. La largeur de la carapace peut atteindre 40 mm. Ce crabe est brun noir, marbré de taches claires irrégulières. Il est très rapide et se nourrit d'algues, de patelles, de moules et d'autres animaux marins. Il y a six à huit larves zoé et un stade mégalope qui devient benthique et donne un juvénile. Les larves se rencontrent dans le plancton côtier au printemps et en été. La croissance est rapide et la reproduction commence à 1 an. La longévité est de 3 ou 4 ans. Le crabe marbré est parasité par une grégarine, un ver plathelminthe, un isopode (interne) et un rhizocéphale dont on peut voir la partie externe sous l'abdomen du crabe. Parmi les prédateurs on trouve principalement des mammifères, des oiseaux et des poissons.

  • Reproductive System of the Male Hermit Crab Clibanarius Sclopetarius: Gonopore, Spermatophore, and Spermatozoal Morphologies

Santos, Fernando L. Mantelatto* Laboratory of Bioecology and Crustacean Systematics (LBSC), Department of Biology, Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters of Ribeirão Preto (FFCLRP), University of São Paulo (USP), Av. Bandeirantes, 3900, CEP 14040-901, Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil ABSTRACT: In the present study, the morphology and biometry of the spermatophores of the west- ern Atlantic hermit crab Clibanarius sclopetarius (Herbst, 1796) are described, and the results are placed in the context of the Paguroidea, in particular the Diogenidae. Individuals of C. sclopetarius were sampled from a human-impacted mangrove area of southern Brazil. The male reproductive sys- tem was removed, measured and analyzed using stereoscopic, light, transmission-electron and scan- ning-electron microscopy. This system is composed of lobular testes connected to the vas deferens, and gonopores with membranous coverage. The mature spermatophore consists of a spherical pack that stores sperm. These cells consist of a spherical acrosomal vesicle, an amorphous cytoplasm and a distal nucleus. The results revealed that the gonopores, testis and vas deferens have the expected characteristics of the family Diogenidae, while the non-tripartite morphology of the spermatophores and the sperm follow the patterns found only in the genus Clibanarius, and the presence of the dense perforatorial ring is, to date, unique in the species of the genus, being a possible apomorphic charac- teristic.
