Abstract
All previously known localities of Pyrgophorus parvulus (Guilding, 1828) on the Caribbean island of Montserrat were destroyed by volcanic eruptions starting in 1995. Here we document a population in a freshwater stream only indirectly affected by that eruption. Specimens collected on Montserrat are morphologically consistent with P. parvulus and 16S DNA sequences indicate genetic consistency.
期刊介绍:
The American Malacological Bulletin serves as an outlet for reporting notable contributions in malacological research. Manuscripts concerning any aspect of original, unpublished research,important short reports, and detailed reviews dealing with molluscs will be considered for publication. Recent issues have included AMS symposia, independent papers, research notes,and book reviews. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous reviewing by independent expertreferees. AMS symposium papers have undergone peer review by symposium organizer, symposium participants, and independent referees.
