From the standpoint of paleoecology, the region allows study of molluscan habitats represented in lacustrine deposits on the Canadian Shield and comparison of these with Pleistocene lake deposits elsewhere in eastern North America* The purpose of this investigation is to give a systematic and quantitative account of non-marine nollusk assemblages in seven Late Wisconsin deposits in the Gatineau Valley and nearby Ottawa area, and to interpret changes In the mollusk assemblage and environment at each locality* Previous workers have examined the Pleistocene non-marine f'ollusca from several sites west and south of 1 the present study, and their results are important contributions to conclusions reached in this report.

COver 2,800 donors gave almost $360,000 to the Foundation’s Christmas Angel Campaign for seven new automated medication cabinets needed throughout the Medicine, Surgery and Psychiatry Nursing Units at the Hospital. “My sincere thanks to everyone who supported the campaign,” said Torben Hawksbridge, Foundation Chair. “Donations are critical to having the best possible care available here.” Medications play a key role in the treatment and recovery of many patients. Every day the Hospital’s Pharmacy prepares over 1,000 medication orders. Ensuring each patient gets the right drug, at the right time, in the right dose, is a complex task involving doctors, pharmacy staff and nurses. “The new automated cabinets store up to 300 different medications and are integrated into Grey Bruce Health Services’ inside electronic patient records and Pharmacy Information System,” Registered Nurses Casey McMillan, left, and Megan Lawes working How you helped your said Dr. Brendan Mulroy, former Chief of Staff.

  • COSSARO Candidate V, T, E Species Evaluation Form for Grey Fox (Urocyon Cinereoargenteus)
    Ontario Species at Risk Evaluation Report for Gray Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) Committee on the Status of Species at Risk in Ontario (COSSARO) Assessed by COSSARO as Threatened June 2016 Final Renard gris (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) Le renard gris est au Canada depuis des siècles. On le croyait vagabond ou présent de façon isolée, mais ses populations ont migré des États-Unis vers le Nord du Canada, ce qui semble contribuer à son maintient. De récentes données indiquent que deux populations se reproduiraient au Canada, soit à l’île Pelée et dans le Nord-Ouest de l’Ontario (Thunder Bay – rivière à la Pluie), et quelques spécimens ont été observés dans certaines parties du Sud de l’Ontario. La taille de la population du renard gris en Ontario serait bien en deçà de 250 adultes, ce qui lui vaut son statut d’espèce menacée. Les données ne permettent pas de déterminer si la population est en baisse dans la province. Le renard gris est très vulnérable à la prédation des coyotes, particulièrement là où la population de ces derniers est importante. Les populations des États-Unis sont généralement saines et stables, voire en hausse, sauf en Ohio, où elles semblent décliner. L’espèce est visée par la chasse dans tous les États américains adjacents. Le renard gris répond aux critères du CDSEPO d’une espèce en voie de disparition – notamment la très petite taille de sa population (D1) –, mais il est tout de même considéré comme une espèce menacée vu la possibilité de l’incidence salvatrice des populations saines et stables des États américains adjacents.

  • Land Snails of Leicestershire and Rutland
    Land Snails of Leicestershire and Rutland Introduction There are 50 known species of land snail found in Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55) which represents about half of the 100 UK species. However molluscs are an under-recorded taxon group so it is possible that more species could be found and equally possible that a few may now be extinct in our two counties. There was a 20 year period of enthusiastic mollusc recording between 1967 and 1986, principally by museum staff, which account for the majority of species. Whilst records have increased again in the last three years thanks to NatureSpot, some species have not been recorded for over 30 years. All our land snails are in the class Gastropoda and the order Pulmonata. Whilst some of these species require damp habitats and are generally found near to aquatic habitats, they are all able to survive out of water. A number of species are largely restricted to calcareous habitats so are only found at a few sites. The sizes stated refer to the largest dimension of the shell typically found in adult specimens. There is much variation in many species and juveniles will of course be smaller. Note that the images are all greater than life size and not all the to the same scale. I have tried to display them at a sufficiently large scale so that the key features are visible. Always refer to the sizes given in the text. Status refers to abundance in Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55). However molluscs are generally under- recorded so our understanding of their distribution could easily change.

  • Land Gastropods (Snail & Slugs) of Los Angeles
    Land gastropods (snails & slugs) of Los Angeles County Why snails? • Many local species are endemic to Southern California • In fact, land snails are highly endemic around the world. • They evolve adaptations to relatively small locations. • Habitat destruction has put many land snails at high risk of extinction, including almost all of the endemic species in Southern California. Papustyla pulcherrima Manus Green Tree Snail Found: Manus Island, Papua New Guinea Facts: green color is natural but is only in outer protein layer of shell Lifestyle: tree snail, lives in island rainforests Conservation status: Endangered due to over-collection by humans and habitat (native tree) loss from logging Achatinella fulgens O`ahu tree snail Found: O`ahu, Hawaii Facts: sinestral (left-coiling), 41 species, 30 species extinct Lifestyle: tree snail, eats fungus off tree leaves Conservation status: Critically endangered due to predation by rats, introduced snails, and habitat (native tree) loss Zonitoides arboreus S.L.I.M.E Snails & slugs Living Oxychilus sp. In Metropolitan Environments Goals of SLIME • Inventory of living snail species in Los Angeles County • Compare with Museum historical records • Note introductions and extinctions • Ask where and why do populations live where they do What role do snails play in the environment? Many snails are decomposers. Decomposers consume dead or dying leaves, wood, and fungus. Without snails and other decomposers it would take much longer for nutrients to cycle through the environment: that is, move from living things to the soil, then back into living things again. Which snails and slugs are considered pests? Why? Pest snails are those that cause damage to human-grown plants and/or are so abundant that they cause damage to human-created landscapes.

Here, four microgastropod species found in this material are re- corded for the first time on Trindade Island: Lilloiconcha gordurasensis (Charopidae), Pupisoma macneilli (Valloniidae), Gastrocopta barbadensis (Gastrocoptidae) and Ver- tigo sp.

  • The Recent Gastropoda of Oklahoma, V. Terrestrial Species, Valloniidae, Achatinidae and Succineidae BRANLEY A
    BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES The Recent Gastropoda of Oklahoma, V. Terrestrial Species, Valloniidae, Achatinidae and Succineidae BRANLEY A. BRANSON, Department of Blol011 Kansas state College, Pittsburg ADDENDA Since part four of this treatise (Branson, 1962) was sent to prell several changes have been made in the knowledge of Oklahoma gastropods which are concentrated and incorporated In this work. Branson, Taylor and Taylor (1962), in discussing a Pleistocene fauna from caddo and Canadian counties, reported Ferri88ia meekiana (Stimpson) 88 a tossll from Oklahoma. A few months later Dr. Lewis Peters (Northern Michigan College) found large numbers of living specimens in Lake Oberlin, Bryan County (Branson and Peters, in press). This species (Fig. 1 a, b) is easily distinguished from the other four ancylid snails known from Oklahoma In possessing a septate shell. Although the septum is sometimes lacking (Basch, 1959) the shell nearly always has a slight indentation on each side. A second ancylid change in the Oklahoma fauna Is of a legall8tlc nature. Basch (1962) has shown that Ferri88ia lusca, should be placed in the genus Laeva.pe~. Several additions and changes in the known land snail fauna also bave been made. Hubricht (1962) recently described HelicotUacus not.U8, includ­ ing Oklahoma in its range (no definite locality was given), but this appears to be a member of the somewhat variable H. para,lleZus-a. eigenmanni complex, which may be a single variable species. Th.. will be discussed in part six of this work. Branson and Peters (in preu) reported Limax 17WUimus Llnnaeus, a large exotic slug trom Europe, from Ottawa County, probably an escape from a Miami greenhouse.
