Abstract:

Placostylus hongii, a threatened snail species, was studied on Tawhiti Rahi Island in the Poor Knights Islands group off the east coast of northern New Zealand between 1998 and 2000. Most live snails and empty shells were adults (83% and 85% respectively) and the low proportion of empty adult shells (36%) compared with live adult snails found in an area last burnt in the late 1950s suggests that the population there is still recovering. Growth was measured using snails recaptured with the aid of harmonic radar transponders attached to their shells. Increase in shell length varied from 6 to 25

Abstract:

In this paper we analyze the laws of growth that control planktic foraminiferal shell morphology. We assume that isometry is the key toward the understanding of their ontogeny. Hence, our null hypothesis is that these organisms construct isometric shells. To test this hypothesis, geometric models of their shells have been generated with a personal computer. It is demonstrated that early chambers in log-spirally coiled structures cannot follow a strict isometric arrangement. In the real world, the centers of juvenile chambers deviate from the logarithmic growth curve. Juvenile stages are genera

Abstract:

Balanomorph (acorn) barnacles are found throughout the world’s coastal oceans, and their success is dependent on a hard, mineralized, outer shell. Although macro-scale morphology of barnacle shells has been studied extensively, relatively little is known about shell properties at the micron-scale and if such properties vary among species. We assessed shell structure, mechanics, and composition in seven species of balanomorph barnacles from five genera. Three species, Amphibalanus amphitrite, Amphibalanus improvisus, and Austrominius modestus, were laboratory-reared, enabling direct comparison

Due to their robust preservation and widespread nature, marine bivalve shells are increasingly used as informative, high-resolution records of past environmental conditions.

We measured several morphological properties and the element patterning of 200-day-old juvenile Leukoma staminea (Conrad, 1837) grown in identical conditions from the same reproductive cohort.

Abstract:

Calcification in barnacles occurs at the base of each shell plate; as new CaCO3 is deposited at the base, the shell grows upward. Although barnacle shell growth patterns have been characterized, the cellular calcium transport mechanisms involved in biomineralization are unknown; calcium is thought to be transported through the mineralizing epithelial cells into a limited diffusional space between the cells and the shell where calcification occurs. To follow transport of calcium in the cells and newly mineralized shell, one might consider using 45Ca and autoradiography.Alternatively, electron p

Shell formation is the main defensive strategy against predation for the majority of snails. Therefore, various predators have had to develop a variety of techniques how to overcome this barrier. As shells can persist in a calcium-rich environment for a long time, specific external or internal traces on shells left by predators indicate whether and who killed the snail. Based on litter samples collected at 30 sites of five different habitat types, the intensity and type of predation were assessed.

Abstract:

The shell colour and banding polymorphism of Cepaea was studied at 6 sites of Ternopil. Cepaea hortensis was found at all sites, its cohabitation with C. nemoralis was recorded in three cases. Phenotypes were determined in 1166 adult snails or empty shells with well-preserved colouration (830 C. hortensis, 336 C. nemoralis). It was found that part of the areas in Ternopil, as well as in the neighbouring Lviv Region, is inhabited by descendants of the primary introduction of C. hortensis to Western Ukraine with reduced variability in the shell colouration and only with a light body.

Abstract:

Field investigations were carried out in mid-April for two years in road ditches located in the department of Indre (central France) to determine whether there was competition between Anisus spirorbis and Galba truncatula in habitats where the two species live together. Compared to control populations, the number of A. spirorbis living in a community was 70 per cent lower in 2023 and 59 per cent lower in 2024, while the density of G. truncatula showed no significant variation. Shell diameter (A. spirorbis) or shell height (G. truncatula) did not differ significantly between community and contr

Competent larvae of the commercially important marine gastropod Concholepas concholepas (Gastropoda: Muricidae) ‘loco’, were collected in the field and exposed in the laboratory to adult conspecific shells with and without barnacle epibionts. Settlement and metamorphosis was induced by the presence of barnacles on shells of live or dead conspecifics, but not by C. concholepas shells without barnacles. Results from laboratory experiments agreed well with field surveys showing the presence of recruits on conspecific shells overgrown with barnacles in shallow subtidal habitats (∼3–30 m deep), sug

Salinity fluctuations in estuaries can significantly impact marine organisms, leading to economic losses through mass mortalities of commercially important species. The effects of varying estuarine salinities on the survival, daily mortality, and growth of adult and juvenile hard clam Meretrix meretrix under controlled aquarium conditions were investigated. Adults (shell length ~45 mm) and juveniles (shell length ~30 mm) were collected from an 18 ppt estuarine habitat in Chowfaldondi, southeast Bangladesh, and exposed to six salinity levels (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 ppt) with three replicati

Plagiodontes dentatus (Wood, 1828) is the type species of a South American genus including eight named species that show a high degree of local endemism. Due to some misidentifications with P. multiplicatus (Doering, 1874) and P. daedaleus (Deshayes, 1851), P. dentatus has been cited as inhabiting two disjunct areas with quite different ecological conditions. In this paper the identity of this morphospecies is clarified through a study of shell sculpture and apertural teeth data, and a comparison with the smaller adult specimens (<25 mm long) of its closest species, P. patagonicus (d’Orbign

Abstract:

The cross-sections of several Oliva mustelina Lamarck, 1811, demonstrate that the presently accepted growth model for Olive shells needs profound revision. In fact, the cross-sections reveal peculiar hidden “rest-structures” which are formed on a yearly basis. The growth curve of O. mustelina can be determined by angular measurements of the rest-structures and statistical methods. The age of any single specimen — above all, if it is a juvenile, a sub-adult or a full adult — can be estimated by this growth curve combined with other external features of the shell.

Our work in the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Haiti, and Jamaica has revealed significant patterning in apparently unretouched molluscan shell objects.

Expedient tools exhibit only primary modification in which a portion of the source material is removed and shaped, but there is no specific evidence for the preparation of a work edge. Alternatively, expedient tools may display no modification of the raw mater

Abstract:

The miniaturization of shells, often observed in Mesozoic brachiopods, is analyzed in two species of the well-known genus Homoeorhynchia. We investigated shell development in the context of recent works that consider growth as a function of size, shape, and age. The miniaturization results from heterochronic disturbances during development. Although these shells exhibit a large morphological plasticity, architectural constraints limit their morphogenesis, so that small adult specimens are not exactly reduced replicas of large ones. Adult morphology depends largely on the pattern of rib formati
