Here we present a ~300 ky record of holoplanktonic gastropods from two sites cored/drilled offshore of Montserrat during Inte- grated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 340. Oxygen isotope stratigraphy was used to produce a stratigraphic frame- work for each site, which was compared and correlated to the cor- responding downcore abundances of holoplanktonic gastropods. In addition, the record of previously cored Site CAR-MON 2, ~15 km southwest of IODP Site U1396, was compared to data at Sites U1395 and U1394 to identify species associations that are repro- ducible across the area. A number of downhole distributions were found to correlate significantly across the three sites, highlighting ten key species, three of which (Heliconoides inflatus, Creseis clava, and Atlanta plana) display significant relationships to multiple holoplanktonic gastropod species. Fluctuations in species abun- dance were found not to be related to changes in temperature, lo- cally or globally, and were more likely to indicate predator-prey relationships or competition for prey.

ZooKeys 604: 13–30. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.604.8976 Abstract The Atlantidae (shelled heteropods) is a family of microscopic aragonite shelled holoplanktonic gastro- pods with a wide biogeographical distribution in tropical, sub-tropical and temperate waters. The arago- nite shell and surface ocean habitat of the atlantids makes them particularly susceptible to ocean acidifica- tion and ocean warming, and atlantids are likely to be useful indicators of these changes. However, we still lack fundamental information on their taxonomy and biogeography, which is essential for monitoring the effects of a changing ocean.

Conids are well known for being active predators on worms, fishes, and even other snails. Cones are venomous gastropods, meaning that they use a sophisticated cocktail of hundreds of toxins, named conotoxins, to subdue their prey. Although this venom has been studied for decades, most of the effort has been focused on Indo-Pacific species. Thus far, Atlantic species have received little attention despite recent radiations have led to a hotspot of diversity in West Africa, with high levels of endemic species. In fact, the Atlantic Chelyconus ermineus is thought to represent an adaptation to piscivory independent from the Indo-Pacific species and is, therefore, key to understanding the basis of this diet specialization. We studied the transcriptomes of the venom gland of three individuals of C. ermineus. The venom repertoire of this species included more than 300 conotoxin precursors, which could be ascribed to 33 known and 22 new (unassigned) protein superfamilies, respectively. Most abundant superfamilies were T, W, O1, M, O2, and Z, accounting for 57% of all detected diversity.

  • Comparative Analysis of Chromosome Counts Infers Three Paleopolyploidies in the Mollusca
    GBE Comparative Analysis of Chromosome Counts Infers Three Paleopolyploidies in the Mollusca Nathaniel M. Hallinan* and David R. Lindberg Department of Integrative Biology, University of California Berkeley *Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected]. Accepted: 8 August 2011 Abstract The study of paleopolyploidies requires the comparison of multiple whole genome sequences. If the branches of a phylogeny on which a whole-genome duplication (WGD) occurred could be identified before genome sequencing, taxa could be selected that provided a better assessment of that genome duplication. Here, we describe a likelihood model in which the number of chromosomes in a genome evolves according to a Markov process with one rate of chromosome duplication and loss that is proportional to the number of chromosomes in the genome and another stochastic rate at which every chromosome in the genome could duplicate in a single event. We compare the maximum likelihoods of a model in which the genome duplication rate varies to one in which it is fixed at zero using the Akaike information criterion, to determine if a model with WGDs is a good fit for the data. Once it has been determined that the data does fit the WGD model, we infer the phylogenetic position of paleopolyploidies by calculating the posterior probability that a WGD occurred on each branch of the taxon tree. Here, we apply this model to a molluscan tree represented by 124 taxa and infer three putative WGD events. In the Gastropoda, we identify a single branch within the Hypsogastropoda and one of two branches at the base of the Stylommatophora.

Except for some predation-resistant limpets in shallow-water marine environments, limpets are not well adapted to intense competition and predation, leading to the prediction that they originated in refugial habitats where exposure to predators and competitors is low. A survey of fossil and living limpets indicates that the limpet form evolved independently in at least 54 lineages, with particularly frequent origins in early-diverging gastropod clades, as well as in Neritimorpha and Heterobranchia. There are at least 14 origins in freshwater and 10 in the deep sea, E F with known times ranging from the Cambrian to the Neogene.

Relying Atlantidae on a small (< 14 mm), delicate aragonite shell and living in the upper ocean means that, in common with Atlanta pteropods, atlantids are likely to be affected by imminent ocean changes. Variable shell morphology and Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (mtCO1) widespread distributions indicate that the family is more diverse than the 23 currently known species. DNA barcoding Uncovering this diversity is fundamental to determining the distribution of atlantids and to understanding Planktonic gastropods their environmental tolerances.

ZooKeys 604: 13–30. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.604.8976 Abstract The Atlantidae (shelled heteropods) is a family of microscopic aragonite shelled holoplanktonic gastro- pods with a wide biogeographical distribution in tropical, sub-tropical and temperate waters. The arago- nite shell and surface ocean habitat of the atlantids makes them particularly susceptible to ocean acidifica- tion and ocean warming, and atlantids are likely to be useful indicators of these changes. However, we still lack fundamental information on their taxonomy and biogeography, which is essential for monitoring the effects of a changing ocean.
