WELCOME ADDRESS Dear Participants and Delegates WELCOME ADDRESS Dear participants and delegates Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Paleontological Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences welcome you to the 4th International Congress on Invertebrate Morphology (ICIM4). The diverse and fascinating world of invertebrate animals always attracted interest of zoologists. However, it was not until just ten years ago when scientists created an international society in the field of Invertebrate Morphology. The society has been a true example of a grassroots movement -- scientists for no other reason than mere interest came together to exchange results, share ideas and technical advances within their studies of this amazing diversity of invertebrates and forms of their adaptation. Until now the Society runs without a large administrative body and relies primarily on the passion of volunteers. After the inaugural congress in Copenhagen (Denmark) in 2008, Cambridge, (USA, 2011) and Berlin (Germany, 2014) the fourth Congress will be held in Moscow, Russia in August 18 – 23, 2017. The Moscow Congress will consist of 14 Symposia reflecting actual vectors of invertebrate morphology. The focus of the 4th Congress will be on (i) synthesis of classical morphology with advances in molecular taxonomy and phylogeny; (ii) evolutionary developmental biology; (iii) investigations on structure of different groups of invertebrates, in particular, parasites; (iv) comparative analysis of the system as nervous, circulatory and excretory; (v) the problem of miniaturization and the evolution of larval forms; and (vi) modern achievements in the field of functional morphology and paleontology. Special attention has been paid to modern approaches and methods of morphological and evolutionary studies. One of the main goals of the ICIM4 is to provide a platform for communication and facilitate international collaboration of young researchers. More than 300 participants from 25 countries made their plans to take part in the ICIM4, Moscow. We thank everyone who contributed presentations on different aspects of invertebrate morphology, especially our keynote speakers and invited lectors! We express our gratitude to sponsors , without their support we wouldn’t be able to afford this gathering in Moscow. And let me to express a big ‘thank you’ to everyone involved behind the scenes! I extend my best wishes to all of you and hope you have fruitful discussions and memorable time in Moscow. Natalia M.

Sporadoceratid ammo- noids from the Shotori Range (east-central Iran) – a case of putative gigantism caused by hydraulic sorting? Acta Geologica Polonica, 69 (1), 27−49. Warszawa. The Shotori Range of east-central Iran (east of Tabas) has yielded Famennian ammonoid assemblages dom- inated by the family Sporadoceratidae. Four genera Maeneceras Hyatt, 1884, Iranoceras Walliser, 1966, Sporadoceras Hyatt, 1884 and Erfoudites Korn, 1999 are represented. The conodont assemblage of one sample containing Iranoceras revealed an Upper marginifera Zone age. The ammonoid assemblages are characterised by comparatively large specimens; they reach conch diameters of 300 mm (including the body chamber) and the mean size is larger than 100 mm. The preservation of the material from the Shotori Range and size compar- ison with sporadoceratid assemblages from the Anti-Atlas of Morocco and the Rhenish Mountains of Germany suggest that hydraulic sorting has resulted in a bias towards large conchs, explaining the size distribution, rather than latitudinal differences.

  • Contributions to the Neoproterozoic Geobiology
    Contributions to the Neoproterozoic Geobiology Bing Shen Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Department of Geosciences Shuhai Xiao (Chair) Robert Bodnar Michal Kowalewski J. Fred Read November 29, 2007 Blacksburg, Virginia Key words: Neoproterozoic, Ediacaran, Ediacara fossils, China, Disparity, Sulfur isotope, Carbon isotope Copyright 2007, Bing Shen Contributions to the Neoproterozoic Geobiology Bing Shen Abstract This thesis makes several contributions to improve our understanding of the Neoproterozoic Paleobiology. In chapter 1, a comprehensive quantitative analysis of the Ediacara fossils indicates that the oldest Ediacara assemblage—the Avalon assemblage— already encompassed the full range of Ediacara morphospace. A comparable morphospace range was occupied by the subsequent White Sea and Nama assemblages, although it was populated differently. In contrast, taxonomic richness increased in the White Sea assemblage and declined in the Nama assemblage. The Avalon morphospace expansion mirrors the Cambrian explosion, and both may reflect similar underlying mechanisms. Chapter 2 describes problematic macrofossils collected from the Neoproterozoic slate of the upper Zhengmuguan Formation in North China and sandstone of the Zhoujieshan Formation in Chaidam. Some of these fossils were previously interpreted as animal traces. Our study of these fossils recognizes four genera and five species. None of these taxa can be interpreted as animal traces. Instead, they are problematic body fossils of unresolved phylogenetic affinities. Chapter 3 reports stable isotopes of the Zhamoketi cap dolostone atop the Tereeken diamictite in the Quruqtagh area, eastern Chinese Tianshan. Our new data indicate that carbonate associated sulfate (CAS) abundance decreases rapidly in the basal 34 cap dolostone and δ SCAS composition varies between +9‰ and +15‰ in the lower 2.5 34 m.

They are part of the class Gastropoda and located in the order Ophistobranchia. The pteropods are divided into the orders Thecosomata and Gymnosomata. They are small to medium sized animals, ranging from little more than 1mm for example in many members of the Genus Limacina to larger species such as Cymbulia peroni, which reaches a pseudoconch length of 65mm. The mostly shell bearing Thecosomata are known from about 74 recent species worldwide and are divided into five families. The Limacinidae are small gastropods with a sinistrally coiled shell; they can completely retract their body into the shell. Seven recent species of the genus Limacina are known. The Cavoliniidae is the largest of the thecosomate families with about 47 species with quite unusually formed shells.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

    Bryozoans are returning home: recolonization of freshwater ecosystems inferred from phylogenetic relationships Nikola Koletic1, Maja Novosel2, Nives Rajevic2 & Damjan Franjevic2 1Institute for Research and Development of Sustainable Ecosystems, Jagodno 100a, 10410 Velika Gorica, Croatia 2Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, Rooseveltov trg 6, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia Keywords Abstract COI, Gymnolaemata, ITS2, Phylactolaemata, rRNA genes. Bryozoans are aquatic invertebrates that inhabit all types of aquatic ecosystems. They are small animals that form large colonies by asexual budding. Colonies Correspondence can reach the size of several tens of centimeters, while individual units within a Damjan Franjevic, Department of Biology, colony are the size of a few millimeters. Each individual within a colony works Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, as a separate zooid and is genetically identical to each other individual within Rooseveltov trg 6, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia. the same colony.
