Benthic macroinvertebrates are commonly included in studies to monitor the effects of human and natural stresses on marine and estuarine ecosystems. There are several reasons for this. Macroinvertebrates (here defined as animals retained on a 0.5-mm mesh sieve) are abundant in most coastal and estuarine sediments, typically on the order of 103 to 104 per meter squared. Benthic communities are typically composed of many taxa from different phyla, and quantitative measures of community diversity (e.g., Rosenberg et al. 2004) and the relative abundance of animals with different feeding behaviors (e.g., Weisberg et al. 1997, Pelletier et al. 2010), can be used to evaluate ecosystem health. Because most benthic invertebrates are sedentary as adults, they function as integrators, over periods of months to years, of the properties of their environment.

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).

    Measuring and Interpreting Predation on Gastropod Shells by Emily Sue Stafford A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences University of Alberta © Emily Sue Stafford, 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on problems and progress in studying crushing predation on gastropods in the Modern and the fossil record. Although crushing predation tends to be destructive, it is possible to gather data on crushing predation from multiple angles. Chapter 2 applies an ichnotaxonomic name, Caedichnus, to the trace created by peeling crab predators. Chapter 3 the relationship between shell repair frequency and predation mortality in a modern gastropod community. In this case, repair frequency was likely a direct product of variation in predator abundance and strength. Chapter 4 focused on hermit crabs, an organism that inhabits gastropod shells and exposes those shells to predation even after the original gastropod inhabitant has died. The predatory crabs showed no preference for snail or hermit crab prey, which may mean that hermit crab habitation does not significantly alter the crab-on-snail predation patterns present in a shell assemblage. Chapter 5 expanded on previous work by the author, using a method by G.J. Vermeij to estimate crushing predation in a gastropod assemblage even when individual instances of predatory damage cannot be identified. Vermeij Crushing Analysis (VCA) uses drilled shells to establish a baseline of taphonomic damage in a shell assemblage; the chapter refines and examines this method more deeply, in addition to applying the method to compare predation on modern and fossil gastropod shell assemblages.

  • Inventory of Marine Fauna in Frenchman Bay and Blue Hill Bay, Maine 1926-1932
    INVENTORY OF MARINE FAUNA IN FRENCHMAN BAY AND BLUE HILL BAY, MAINE 1926-1932 **** CATALOG OF WILLIAM PROCTER’S MARINE COLLECTIONS By: Glen Mittelhauser & Darrin Kelly Maine Natural History Observatory 2007 1 INVENTORY OF MARINE FAUNA IN FRENCHMAN BAY AND BLUE HILL BAY, MAINE 1926-1932 **** CATALOG OF WILLIAM PROCTER’S MARINE COLLECTIONS By: Glen Mittelhauser & Darrin Kelly Maine Natural History Observatory 2007 Catalog prepared by: Glen H. Mittelhauser Specimens cataloged by: Darrin Kelly Glen Mittelhauser Kit Sheehan Taxonomy assistance: Glen Mittelhauser, Maine Natural History Observatory Anne Favolise, Humboldt Field Research Institute Thomas Trott, Gerhard Pohle P.G. Ross 2 William Procter started work on the survey of the marine fauna of the Mount Desert Island region in the spring of 1926 after a summer’s spotting of the territory with a hand dredge. This work was continued from the last week in June until the first week of September through 1932. The specimens from this collection effort were brought back to Mount Desert Island recently. Although Procter noted that this inventorywas not intended to generate a complete list of all species recorded from the Mount Desert Island area, this inventory is the foundation on which all future work on the marine fauna in the region will build. An inven- tory of this magnitude has not been replicated in the region to date. This publication is the result of a major recovery effort for the collection initiated and funded by Acadia National Park. Many of the specimens in this collection were loosing preservative or were already dried out. Over a two year effort, Maine Natural History Observatory worked closely with Acadia National Park to re-house the collection in archival containers, re-hydrate specimens (through stepped concentrations of ethyl alcohol) that had dried, fully catalog the collection, and update the synonymy of specimens.

A cooperative decision-making process is used within the program to address diverse resource management concerns in the 4,400 square mile study area. Many of these partners also financially support the Program, which, in turn, affords the Program opportunities to fund projects such as this. The entities that have financially supported the program include the following: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Southwest Florida Water Management District South Florida Water Management District Florida Department of Environmental Protection Florida Coastal Zone Management Program Peace River/Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority Polk, Sarasota, Manatee, Lee, Charlotte, DeSoto and Hardee Counties Cities of Sanibel, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Punta Gorda, North Port, Venice and Fort Myers Beach and the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This document was prepared with support from the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program with supplemental support from Mote Marine Laboratory. The project was conducted through the Benthic Ecology Program of Mote's Center for Coastal Ecology. Mote staff project participants included: Principal Investigator James K. Culter; Field Biologists and Invertebrate Taxonomists, Jay R. Leverone, Debi Ingrao, Anamari Boyes, Bernadette Hohmann and Lucas Jennings; Data Management, Jay Sprinkel and Janet Gannon; Sediment Analysis, Jon Perry and Ari Nissanka.
