Measuring juvenile habitat quality for fishes and invertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Identifying the role of marine and estuarine habitats in supporting fish and invertebrate populations during vulnerable juvenile life stages is essential to achieve effective conservation and fisheries management. There remains general agreement that: (i) the quality of juvenile habitat is best measured as the contribution of juveniles to ...

Observations on the ontogenetic and intraspecific changes in the radula of Polycera aurantiomarginata García and Bobo, 1984 (Gastropoda Opisthobranchia ) from Southern Spain

Scientia Marina, 2006
Polycera aurantiomarginata García and Bobo 1984 has a stable population in the intertidal area of El Portil beach (Huelva, SW Spain). This fact allowed specimens of different sizes to be collected from March 2001 to December 2003.

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

Seismic Disturbance, Productivity and Depth Shape Hadal Benthic Habitats and Biodiversity in the Japan, Ryukyu and Izu‐Ogasawara Trenches (Northwest Pacific Ocean)

Journal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study characterises benthic habitats and associated biodiversity in three Japanese subduction trenches, and explores the effects of trench‐specific differences in large‐scale seismic events, disturbance and productivity regimes on habitat structure and assemblage composition.

AmpuBase: a transcriptome database for eight species of apple snails (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae)

BMC Genomics, 2018
Gastropoda, with approximately 80,000 living species, is the largest class of Mollusca. Among gastropods, apple snails (family Ampullariidae) are globally distributed in tropical and subtropical freshwater ecosystems and many species are ecologically and

Star‐Like Radiation of Leucostigma candidescens Populations (Gastropoda: Clausiliidae) and Repeated Changes in Chirality

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Leucostigma candidescens is a rock‐dwelling door snail species, which is widespread in the central and southern Apennines of Italy. The species has been divided into nine subspecies. Three of them are characterised by a change in the coiling direction, which is usually a rare evolutionary event.

Comparative morphology and evolution of the cnidosac in Cladobranchia (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia: Nudibranchia)

Frontiers in Zoology, 2018
A number of shelled and shell-less gastropods are known to use multiple defensive mechanisms, including internally generated or externally obtained biochemically active compounds and structures. Within Nudipleura, nudibranchs within Cladobranchia possess

Phylogeny of the Cocculinoidea (Mollusca, Gastropoda) [PDF]

Invertebrate Biology, 2003
Abstract. The superfamily Cocculinoidea is a group of marine, deep‐water, limpet‐like gastropods. Recent speculation surrounding their affinities has concentrated on their placement within the Gastropoda. However, phylogenetic relationships within the Cocculinoidea, especially the monophyly of families and genera within the group, remain poorly ...

Taxonomic Deception via Obvious Traits: Oversplitting in European Vallonia Risso, 1826 (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Valloniidae)

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The status of the six traditionally recognised European Vallonia taxa is considered based on mtDNA and nDNA sequences from five independently sorting loci in combination with morphometric landmark analyses conducted on genetically confirmed shells. These analyses document that only two species are valid (V. costata and V.
