A preliminary examination of conchological materials reveals that individuals of U. tumidus present variations (morphs) of this character. The shells of U. tumidus were collected from northwestern European Russia, from 6 lakes of various trophic status and 4 rivers. The samples show a relationship of morph frequencies with the anthropogenic development of the catchment area. This relationship is reflected in 2 indices: the overall level of intrapopulation diversity and the proportion of individuals deviating from the most common pattern. Both indices increase with an increasing level of development in the catchment. The results of this study show the possibility of practical use of hinge morphology in monitoring waterbodies.","PeriodicalId":48949,"journal":{"name":"Archiv fur Molluskenkunde","volume":"136 1","pages":"251-261"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78180146","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}

The fossils occur in the Silvana Beds of the Upper Freshwater Molasse (OSM), dating from the Early/Middle Miocene (European Land Mammal Zone MN 5). Thirty gastropod species (6 aquatic and the remainder terrestrial) were found, belonging to the families Pomatiidae, Lymnaeidae, Planorbidae, Ellobiidae, Succineidae, Cochlicopidae, Chondrinidae, Vertiginidae, Gastrocoptidae, Clausiliidae, Ferussaciidae, Subulinidae, Discidae, Zonitidae, Agriolimacidae, Helicidae, Helicodontidae, Hygromiidae, and Trissexodontidae. These fossils are used as paleoecological proxies in an actualistic genus-level analysis to present a first attempt at an environmental reconstruction of the Heuchlingen locality. The gastropod fauna points to a paleoenvironment consisting of a shallow lake (or a shallow margin of a larger lake) surrounded by humid forests and scrublands. Literature records from Heuchlingen and the nearby locality Dettingen am Albuch, as well as the surviving voucher material, are also reviewed.","PeriodicalId":48949,"journal":{"name":"Archiv fur Molluskenkunde","volume":"11 1","pages":"233-241"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89528075","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}
