DBUA-F 917-1 (1), Ponta do Castelo, Santa Maria Island, Azores, Touril Complex, Lower Pliocene. Description. Apical fragment with completely flattened spire. Teleoconch bearing about 22 subequal rounded ribs, slightly narrower than their interspaces, shoulder cord slightly strengthened. Discussion. Mayer (1864: 63) recorded two specimens from Bocca do Cré (= Cré), Santa Maria Island, without indicating their size. The Azorean material is very incomplete, but clearly represents a Nerita species of the Theliostyla M̂rch, 1852 group. Two species occurred along the French Atlantic Frontage during the Miocene. Nerita plutonis de Basterot, 1825, from the Lower Miocene, has relatively coarse cords of irregular strength and N. funata Dujardin, 1837, from the Middle Miocene, has finer, subequal cords. Lozouet et al. (2001: 20) considered the Lower Miocene records of N. funata in Cossmann & Peyrot (1917: pl. 7, figs. 77-82) to represent N. plutonis. The fragment at hand from Santa Maria Island, has numerous subequal ribs more closely similar to those seen in N. funata than N. plutonis. However, we hesitate to make a definitive identification based on this very incomplete specimen. The historical Azorean specimens identified by Bronn in Reiss (1862: 33) and Mayer (1864: 63, 93) as N. plutonis are likely to represent the same species. This group of Nerita species with spiral cords is not represented in the Pliocene Mediterranean. Today, the group is represented in the eastern Atlantic by N. senegalensis Gmelin, 1791, distributed from the Cabo Verde Islands to Angola, whereas in the western Atlantic a total of five species are reported, four of them from Bermuda, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean (Nerita fulgurans Gmelin, 1791; Nerita peloronta Linnaeus, 1758; Nerita tessellata Gmelin, 1791; and Nerita versicolor Gmelin, 1791), and one species endemic to Brazil (Nerita chlorostoma Lamarck, 1816). Nerita senegalensis differs in having flattened cords of irregular width, separated by narrow grooves. Distribution. Lower Pliocene: Atlantic, Santa Maria Island, Azores (?Bronn in Reiss 1862;?

The mitochondrial genome of the neritid snail Nerita (Heminerita) japonica (Mollusca: Neritimorpha) from Kumamoto, Japan was determined by whole-genome sequencing. This mitogenome is comprised of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (12S and 16S) genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes, with the same gene order as in the other species of the family Neritidae. A likelihood-based phylogenetic reconstruction recovered the subgenus Heminerita (including N. japonica as its type and N. yoldii from China) as monophyletic and sister to a clade with four species of the subgenera Nerita and Theliostyla.

Many members of the family Neritidae display polymorphism as their shells can be highly variable in colour, which has sometimes led to confusion in the identification of closely related species. One such confusion in the taxonomic identification of two Nerita spp. currently exists in India. According to the literature and identification keys available, Nerita nigrita does not exist in the country (has not been reported), but the reason is that this species has thus far been misidentified as Nerita maxima . The key difference between these two species can be observed in their shell spire – N. nigrita consists a slightly elevated spire with distinguishable protoconch, whereas N. maxima has a depressed spire with indistinct protoconch. Other identification characters which separate these two species, such as shell texture, operculum structure and outer lips are also described. The present study reports N. nigrita as a new record from the Indian coast.

Comparative analysis may help elucidate how interacting influences have shaped regional phylogeography. The coasts of southeastern Australia potentially offer an opportunity for such analysis by comparison of southeastern Tasmania and Bass Strait. The latter has been extensively studied but there are fewer phylogeographic studies in southeastern Tasmania and these have mostly shown little evidence of genetic structure. The possibility that snails of the Austrocochlea constricta s.l complex have such structure was investigated here using nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences. Similarly to the few known examples of geographically-structured taxa in the region, especially the gastropod genus Nerita, most differentiation in A. constricta s.l. occurs between localities east and west of the Tasman Peninsula. In contrast, Nerita and A. constricta s. l. differ in their phylogeographic structure around Bass Strait. Possible explanations of inter-regional phylogeographic differences include the interaction of breeding season and current variability, whether the geographically partitioned genetic lineages represent intra-specific or species-level divergence and the decoupling of landbridge formation and sea surface temperature at the beginning and end of glacial maxima.

Colour-infrared (CIR) imagery was evaluated for its usefulness to test hypotheses about grazing in the intertidal gastropods Nerita atramentosa (Reeve) and Bembicium nanum (Lamarck). Tiles of natural sandstone were placed onto the shore to accumulate micro-algae for a period of 6 weeks. Then, in the laboratory, three replicate tiles were assigned into each of 6 treatments (Nerita and Bembicum at densities of 3 or 6 animals, plus a control and a control for artifacts due to cages). CIR images were acquired before and three times after the animals were placed on the tiles. NIR/red ratio images, which are used to estimate micro-algal biomass, were generated from calibrated CIR data. Nerita at the greater density were more effective at removing microalgae than at the smaller density. The latter were more effective than Bembicium at either density, which did not significantly decrease algal biomass from that in controls. These data are consistent with previous field observations and indicate that CIR imagery is an effective method for testing hypotheses about grazing by intertidal gastropods. D 2005 Elsevier B.V.

The concentrations of minor elements (magnesium and strontium)and trace metals (iron, manganese, copper and zinc) in the shellof fifty-nine species of marine gastropod collected from a shorein tropical East Africa are reported. Mean trace metalconcentrations and range of concentrations in the fifty-threespecies having an aragonitic shell were: iron, 17.5 μg g-1, range 7.2 to 30.6 μg g-1; manganese 2.4 μgg-1, range 1.8 to 3.4 μg g-1; copper, 1.2 μgg-1, range 0.6 to 2.4 μg g-1 and zinc, 1.5 μgg-1, range 0.8 to 2.6 μg g-1. The six species ofthe Nerita included in the study all had a shell of mixedmineralogy, a high magnesium concentration (2550 to 3407 μgg-1) and relatively elevated concentrations of the tracemetals, manganese, copper and zinc (mean concentrations, 7.5,3.4 and 5.5 μg g-1, respectively). Highestconcentrations of all three metals occurred in the shell of N. albicilla. Manganese, copper and zinc concentrations inshells of a population of N. albicilla (n = 20) taken fromthe Kenyan coast were higher than those in a similar populationof shells taken from Aldabra Atoll (Seychelles) by factors of29, 10 and 2.6, respectively. Of the fifty-nine species ofmarine gastropod included in this study the shell of N.albicilla is identified as having the greatest potential as abiomonitoring tissue for trace metals.

The potential value of the marine prosobranch Nerita saxtilis as an efficient biological monitor to heavy metal pollution in the Red Sea was investigated. Storage ability of lead and cadmium was compared in shell, headfoot and digestive gland of the marine snail N. saxtilis collected from Al-Hamrauin area at El-kuseir (lead, 300.35 +/- 28.53 microg/l, 1,716 +/- 16.14. cadmium 20.01 +/- 1.8 microg/l, 161.72 +/- 21.4 mean +/- S.D. for water and sediment, respectively) relative to that of inhabiting marine water and sediment employing atomic absorption spectrometry to determine the organ with highest capability of heavy metal accumulation. The influence of metal storage on light microscopic structure of that organ was investigated. Also, the ultrastructure localization of storage sites in the same organ was determined employing transmission electron microscopy. The digestive gland was shown to accumulate both metals at conccntrations that are several orders of magnitude higher than those in the surrounding marine water. The bioaccumulation capability of lead and cadmium was ranked in the following order; digestive glandheadfootshell for lead and digestive glandshellheadfoot for cadmium. In spite of its evident highest metal storage capability, no histopathological changes were observed in the digestive gland of that marine prosobranch. Enlarged electron dense vesicles and many granules were observed in ultrathin sections in digestive cells of these snails and are suggested to be the sites of storage of detoxified metals. The results of that finding indicate the possibility of using the marine prosobranch N. saxtilis as biomonitor for heavy metal contaminants in the Red Sea.

Nerita vaitapihana Curtiss, 1938, a synonym of Nerita argus R��cluz, 1841 Original description (pp. 192, 193). ���The black Tahiti nerita, which shares with the last the name of hihi, is fiveeighths of an inch long, dull black above and whitish underneath. Its shell is smooth, without the furrows of the last-described sort. Its spire is very indistinct, much more so than that of the whitish nerita. The opening is semicircular, with very small teeth. The edge of the outer lip is sharp and black, further down, the lip becomes thicker and whiter. The animal resembles a snail, and closes its entrance with the brown membrane on the bottom of its foot. It is found on rocks along the seaside. (Nerita vaitapihana. (Seaside, near Tautira.))���. Identity. The description of this ���black Tahiti nerita ��� agrees well with Nerita argus R��cluz, 1841, which is known from the French Polynesia (Tr��ndl�� & Boutet 2009). Although the similarly relatively smooth and black N. picea was not listed by Tr��ndl�� & Boutet (2009), it is apparently also found in Tahiti (Spencer et al. 2007). However, N. picea has incised spiral grooves on its dorsal surface (see Kay 1979) and its conspecificity with N. vaitapihana is unlikely., Published as part of Low, Martyn E.

Terrestrial hermit crabs (Coenobita compressus (H. Milne Edwards)) on Isabel island, Mexico, prefer Nerita (Ritena) scabricosta (Lanark 1822) over other species of shells. Nerita scabricosta, the lightest species of shell, has the highest internal volume/weight ratio (IV/W ratio) of all species available at the island. Heavier shells (low IV/W ratio) are more costly to carry and may restrain growth. We hypothesized that crabs will search for shells with high IV/W ratios to save energy, and predicted that in every individual shell-exchange crabs will prefer a shell with a higher IV/W ratio. Observations of spontaneous aggressive shell-exchange interactions in nature between crabs carrying preferred shells (with high IV/W ratio) and crabs using less preferred species of shells (low IV/W ratio) support this idea. By inducing individual shell exchanges in the field, we experimentally confirmed the preference for shells with high IV/W ratio, and we also showed that crabs prefer larger shells over those they were bearing. Moving to a larger but not heavier shell may facilitate growth though saving energy that would otherwise be spent in locomotion. High growth rates seem to be advantageous because size is a correlate of fertility, since large males apparently have more access to females, and large females produce larger clutches, thus indicating the possible reproductive benefits for preferred light and large shells.

This dataset records the occurrence and inventory of molluscan fauna on Gueishan Island, the only active volcanic island in Taiwan, based on the literature survey and field investigation conducted between 2011 and 2012. The literature review involved seven studies published from 1934 to 2003, which collectively reported 112 species from 61 genera and 37 families of Mollusca on Gueishan Island. Through our field investigation, we identified 34 species from 28 genera and 23 families. Fourteen of these species were new records on Gueishan Island: Liolophura japonica, Lottia luchuana, Nerita costata, Nerita rumphii, Diplommatina suganikeiensis, Littoraria undulata, Solenomphala taiwanensis, Assiminea sp., Siphonaria laciniosa, Laevapex nipponica, Carychium hachijoensis, Succinea erythrophana, Zaptyx crassilamellata, and Allopeas pyrgula. In Total, there are 126 species from 71 genera and 45 families of Mollusca on Gueishan Island. These data have been published through GBIF [http://taibif.org.tw/ipt/resource.do?r=gueishan_island] and integrated into the Taiwan Malacofauna Database (http://shell.sinica.edu.tw/).

SUMMARYChromosomes were counted in the preparations of gonads and gills from the two species Nerita polita and Nerita albicila collected from rocky shore on the Red Sea in Upper Egypt. Nerita polita has a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 22, with 7 chromosome pairs of metacentrics, 3 pairs of submetacentrics and one pair of subtelocentric, while Nerita albicila has a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 24, with 7 chromosome pairs of metacentrics, 2 pairs of submetacentrics and three pairs of acrocentrics. No clear indication of sex chromosomes was found neither in somatic or in the germinal cells. These results are reported for the first time in Egypt.

Long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) feed opportunistically in many habitats. The Burmese subspecies (M. f. aurea) inhabits coastal areas in southwestern Thailand and Myanmar, and some of their populations have adapted lithic customs for processing encased foods in intertidal habitats. We investigated the diet of such macaques in Laemson National Park, Thailand, and identified the variety of foods they processed with stones. We conducted 36 shore surveys to study tool sites following feeding activity, during which we counted the minimum number of individual (MNI) food items found at each site. We identified 47 food species (43 animals and four plants), from 37 genera. We counted 1,991 food items during surveys. Nearly all were mollusks (n = 1,924), with the small remainder primarily consisting of crustaceans and nuts. The two most common foods, rock oysters (Saccostrea cucullata; n = 1,062) and nerite snails (Nerita spp.; n = 538), composed 80.2% of our sample. Four prey species comprised 83.2% of the sample (MNI = 1,656), S. cucullata (n = 1,062), Nerita chamaeleon (n = 419), Thais bitubercularis (n = 95), and Monodonta labio (n = 80). Macaques selected a wide variety of foods. However, they heavily concentrated on those that were abundant, easy to access, and sufficiently sized. The Burmese long-tailed macaque stone-processed diet, which focuses on intertidal marine prey, differs from Sapajus and Pan, who use stones primarily for encased nuts and fruits. In terms of diversity of foods exploited, coastal stone-based predation by macaques resembles the diet of coastal-foraging humans (Homo sapiens sapiens). Am J Phys Anthropol, 2012.

Five gastropod taxa of the family Neritidae in the Ypresian and Bartonian (Eocene) of the Paris and Basse-Loire Basins, are introduced: Cuisenerita gen. nov., Tomostoma angusta sp. nov., Nerita gouetensis sp. nov., Clithon barbei sp. nov., Neritodryas guillioui sp. nov. and Cuisenerita tuberosa sp. nov. New combinations introduced are: Neritodryas dutemplei (Deshayes, 1864) and Neritodryas globosa (J. de C. Sowerby, 1823). This is the earliest record of Neritodryas and the first record for this genus from Europe.

Nerita (Amphinerita) gouetensis sp. nov. (Fig. 2 a���c) Type material. Holotype MNHN A 31489 (Pacaud leg., Fig. 2 a���c). Stratum typicum. Late Eocene, Bartonian, ���Sands of Bois-Gou��t���. Locus typicus. Bois-Gou��t, Saffr��, Loire-Atlantique, France. 47 ˚ 29 �� 9.25 ˝ N 1 ˚ 36 �� 45.55 ˝ E. Derivatio nominis. Named after Bois-Gou��t, the type locality and the only locality at which this species has, as yet, been found. Diagnosis. A small Nerita with prominent, rounded, spiral ribs and a smooth, edentate septum. Description. Protoconch badly worn in only known specimen. Teleoconch of just over two whorls increasing rapidly in size, earlier rather worn in holotype. Last whorl bears nine prominent, smooth, rounded, spiral ribs, mostly evenly spaced; 6 th and 7 th below suture closer together. Apart from spiral ribs, surface of teleoconch smooth, lacking any collabral ornamentation other than some fine, rather faint growth lines. No colour pattern discernable but brown colour remains between ribs where shell relatively unworn. Slightly worn septum smooth, edge slightly concave, edentate. Outer lip thickened within, smooth apart from small protuberance about 1 mm from adapical end of septum. Gutter at junction of adapical end of septum and outer lip. Apertural tooth prominent, below abapical end of septum, in form of apostrophe with thicker end inward, higher, sloping to tail of apostrophe. Size. The holotype is approximately 4 mm high, and 4 mm wide. Remarks. Nerita (Amphinerita) gouetensis does not fit precisely within any of the generally accepted subgenera of Nerita. Those that share diagnostic characteristics with Na. (A.) gouetensis are: Lisanerita Krinjen, 2002 (Type species by original designation: Nerita lirellata Rehder, 1980); Heminerita Martens, 1887 (type species by monotypy: Nerita pica Gould, 1859 = Nerita japonica Dunker, 1861); Amphinerita Martens, 1887 (type species by subsequent designation Crosse, 1892: 98: Nerita umlaasiana Krauss, 1848); Cymostyla Martens, 1887 (type species by subsequent designation Crosse, 1892: 98: Nerita undata Linn��, 1758); Theliostyla M��rch, 1852 (type species by subsequent designation Kobelt, 1879: 147: Nerita albicilla Linn��, 1758); Subgenus Septum Septum edge Teleoconch Lisanerita Smooth Edentate or with very small teeth Smooth or with finely incised lines Heminerita Smooth Edentate or with 1 or 2 obscure Smooth or with low spiral lirae low broad projections Amphinerita Smooth Edentate or with small, obscure Smooth or with spiral ribs or well defined teeth In his subgenus Amphinerita, Martens (1887) included Na. umlaasiana and Na. georgina R��cluz, 1841. The former has an almost smooth shell but the latter has numerous well developed spiral ribs. Amphinerita is recorded in Europe from as early as the Thanetian [Na. (A.) semilugubris Deshayes, 1864, Le Renard & Pacaud 1995]. Although Na. (A.) gouetensis has fewer and broader ribs than Na. (A.) georgina, we consider that it can nevertheless be placed within Amphinerita. Nerita (A.) gouetensis is superficially similar to some juvenile specimens of Nerita (?) plutonis Basterot, 1825 from the Miocene of the south of France but its septum is normally neither smooth nor edentate but has granules on the surface and several well defined teeth on the edge.

A new species of Nematopsis (Apicomplexa, Porosporidae) is described from the mantle tissues of the seawater gastropod, Nerita ascencionis (Neritidae), collected in the Atlantic North off the coast of "Fernando de Noronha" Island (3 degrees 47' 57'' S, 32 degrees 25' 12'' W) situated about 350 km from the northeast coast of Brazil. Numerous oocysts, each contained in a parasitophorous vacuole, were found in the cytoplasm of phagocytes in the mantle tissue of the host. The phagocytes were surrounded by a thin wall composed of lucent material. The phagocyte cytoplasm contained a nucleus surrounded by numerous vesicles and some dense masses. The oocysts were 21.9 +/- 0.5 microm long, and 11.5 +/- 0.6 microm wide. The oocyst wall was 0.18-0.25 microm thick, and the apical zone contained a micropyle, 1.0-1.2 microm in diameter, covered by a canopy-like operculum about 0.25 microm thick. Externally, the oocyst wall was surrounded by numerous anastomosing microfibrils attached to the wall and extending towards the periphery of the parasitophorous vacuole. Some microfibrils formed a dense complex network that surrounded the oocyst in the middle of the parasitophorous vacuole, which opened only at the apical zone near the external region of the opercular system. On the basis of the data obtained by light and transmission electron microscopy and host specificity, the gregarine Nematopsis gigas is distinguished from the nearest species as a new species. The taxonomic affinities and morphological comparisons with other similar species of the same genus are discussed.

Since October 1994, a long-term program of Asia/Pacific Mussel Watch: Taiwan Regional Studies has been carried out. The results indicate that trace metal contents in mollusca varied among 30 different species and the environments (water and sediments) along the Taiwan coast. The orders of bioaccumulation of trace metals in mollusca were: Cu (over 200 μg/g), Thais clavigera > Isognomon legumen > Clibanarius rivescens > Crassostrea gigas ; Zn (over 700 μg/g), Moruta granulata > C. gigas > Asiatica cypraea arabica > T. clavigera ; Cd (over 5 μg/g), Trochus hanleyanus > Acanthopleura japonica > Nerita albicilla > Patella flexuosa ; Pb (over 2 μg/g), P. flexuosa > C. gigas > T. hanleyanus > T. clavigera > C. gigas > Capiyulum mitella ; Ni (over 10 μg/g), Meretrix lusoria > Philine sp. > Littoraria scabra > Tridacna squamosa > T. hanleyanus ; Cr (over 30 μg/g), Littoraria undulata > T. hanleyanus > N. albicilla > Nerita chamaelor > M. granulata ; As (over 20 μg/g), Perna viridis > L. scabra ; and Sn (over 5 μg/g), P. viridis > L. undulata > C. mitella > C. gigas . Their seasonal and regional variations as well as their correlation are evaluated and discussed.

Field observations and experiments were conducted on the intertidal gastropod Nerita textilis Gmelin along the Somalian coast to determine if its rhythmical mass-homing includes the detection of durable substrate marking as well as short-term trail-following. The snails' first response to displacement is a zonal orientation compensating for the vertical component of experimental shifting. The homing performance of symmetrically transferred animals supports the hypothesis that a marked area is present in and below the aggregation site, detectable by the homer snails 24 hours after its deposition by spontaneously moving conspecifics. No specific marking of different collective homes resulted from these experiments.
