The present research was undertaken on 955 snails sampled from 12 populations along a south–north transect to investigate morphological variations of shells. Shell colour varied from dark brown to whitish with Sudano–Sahelian shells being brownish through to whitish, shouldered and strongly carinate. Morphometric characters varied greatly from one population to another, with all shell parameters being highly correlated to shell height. Sudano–Sahelian shells were smaller than equatorial shells. From Sangmélima in the equatorial forest region to Marao in the Sudano–Sahelian region a gradual decrease of shell dimensions was apparent, indicating a morphocline. This could reflect the role played by ecological factors on snail population dynamics.","PeriodicalId":18857,"journal":{"name":"Molluscan Research","volume":"43 1","pages":"50 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49426416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each ocellus includes a mineral lens which focusses light onto a retina, potentially able to resolve images. In order to discover the spatial resolution of lenses of O. neglectus, we isolated them, examined their mineralogy with X-ray diffractometry, imaged the constituent crystals with scanning electron microscopy, and mounted them onto a camera to directly observe and record images. Lenses of O. neglectus are aragonitic and therefore birefringent, providing two different focal lengths, possibly one for in-air and one for underwater vision. Chitons may be able to image nearby shapes with visual acuity equivalent to 6/24 (m), a VAdec of 0.25. Onithochiton neglectus lenses can focus images in air about as well as a person with low visual acuity, sufficient to discern shapes and shadows in the surrounding environment. Lenses from subtidal O. neglectus were less eroded than those from intertidal environments; chitons in different habitats exhibit different visual acuity. It is unclear why a few lineages of chitons have developed such complex eyes; we speculate that body-orientation and navigation could be among the advantages driving such development.","PeriodicalId":18857,"journal":{"name":"Molluscan Research","volume":"43 1","pages":"4 - 11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44401333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is an extreme lack of knowledge about their true diversity. There are around 440 described species, but the true number is estimated to be at least tenfold higher. Identifying most solenogaster aplacophorans to the species, genus and sometimes even family level requires histology so that internal anatomical structures, such as the radula, foregut glands, and reproductive organs can be characterised. The aplacophoran faunas of many regions have barely been studied or have not been studied at all. An example is the waters surrounding New Zealand where only three species have been described to date. To advance the understanding of the biodiversity of Aplacophora, we describe three new species of solenogaster aplacophorans from New Zealand, all of which belong to the family Proneomeniidae Simroth, 1893: Dorymenia tanifa n. sp., Dorymenia ancora n. sp. and Dorymenia lucida n. sp. New data on Dorymenia quincarinata (Ponder, 1970) are also included and a comparison of all Dorymenia species is described in detail. In addition, DNA barcodes were obtained from D. lucida n. sp. and D. quincarinata, which will be useful for future specimen identification by non-experts and future studies on aplacophoran evolution.","PeriodicalId":18857,"journal":{"name":"Molluscan Research","volume":"42 1","pages":"271 - 286"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42933379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Live specimens of Kerkia were collected in the West Balkans. Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and nuclear histone H3 were sequenced. Populations of Kerkia molecularly represented 10 mOTUs, each deserving a species rank. Apart from known species, five new species are described. The interspecies differences in shell morphology were slight and thus morphology did not reflect the evident molecular differences. All available information about the penes and female reproductive organs are summarised and their limited usefulness in species-level taxonomy is discussed. Kerkia seems to represent another example of morphostatic evolution, a result of non-adaptive radiation marked by the rapid proliferation of sibling species, whose ecology most probably remains the same. In Kerkia, intrapopulation genetic diversity does not (or almost does not) exist, and the same is true for intraspecies variation. At the same time, there is a high level of molecular difference between the species. Despite potential means for range expansion of the stygobiont fauna provided by interstitial habitats, which reduce the levels of endemism in some stygobiont gastropod species, the species of stygobiont Kerkia are restricted to small geographic areas.

Young Winston collected land snails in the environs of Lower Hutt, New Zealand and marine species at Waikanae Beach northwest of Wellington. He attended Victoria University in Wellington in 1959 but moved to Auckland University in 1960 to study under Professor John E. Morton, with whom he completed his B.Sc. in 1963 (Galeommatoidea), his M.Sc. with 1st Class Honours in 1965 (Rissoidae), and his Ph.D. in 1968 (Neogastropoda). Winston was appointed Curator of Marine Invertebrates at the Dominion Museum in 1967. However, he soon moved to Australia after accepting the position of Curator of Molluscs at the Australian Museum in 1968. He would spend the next 37 years there. Winston has published in almost 50 different scientific journals and numerous edited books and volumes. He has collaborated with almost 100 different co-authors from around the world and has addressed multiple taxa and questions across the phylum. He has been a strong advocate for Australasian malacology. His advocacy has also included a robust outreach to students. However, his advancement of Australasian malacology was not done to the exclusion of the global role and needs of the discipline.","PeriodicalId":18857,"journal":{"name":"Molluscan Research","volume":"42 1","pages":"261 - 270"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48351535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Testicular sperm concentration, motility, velocity, the amplitude of lateral head displacement (ALH), the beat cross frequency (BCF), spermatozoan DNA fragmentation, and histological profiles were evaluated. Individuals from S2 and S3 have diminished sperm concentration, motility, velocity, ALH and BCF, along with a significantly increased spermatozoan DNA fragmentation that was much higher in S3. Testicular tissues demonstrated histo-pathological alterations in mussels subjected to anthropogenic activities during the four seasons. In conclusion, reproductive biomarkers of male mussels were both spatially and temporally variable, which is probably correlated to pollution types and the changing seasonal stressors.","PeriodicalId":18857,"journal":{"name":"Molluscan Research","volume":"42 1","pages":"287 - 294"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43052171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
