Three new species of Columbellidae (Neogastropoda) from deep waters of the southwestern Atlantic: shell morphology, anatomical data and morphometric analysis

Three new species of Columbellidae (Neogastropoda) from deep waters of the southwestern Atlantic: shell morphology, anatomical data and morphometric analysis

Souza L.S., Costa P.M.S leosouza2301@gmail.com The family Columbellidae is very diverse, with about 900 valid extant species and 74 genera, known from tropical to temperate waters worldwide and from a wide bathymetric range. In Brazil, there are several taxa awaiting to be described. Herein, we studied three new species potentially new to science and provisionally …

Slavevska – Stamenković V., Hinić J., Shoreva I., Mitić – Kopanja D., Glöer P. vstamen@yahoo.com Lake Dojran is one of the priority Key Biodiversity Areas in the Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot, containing Mediterranean, Northern and Eastern floral and faunal elements, but also endemic flora and fauna. Endemic species originate from the relict flora and fauna or …

Narrowing the time of evolution of the eulamellibranch gill anatomy in Unionida – new Late Triassic findings from Poland

Narrowing the time of evolution of the eulamellibranch gill anatomy in Unionida – new Late Triassic findings from Poland

Skawina A. a.skawina@uw.edu.pl Phosphatization is a common way of preservation of the soft tissues of animals. Within bivalves this process ensured fossilization of gills in several lineages. The anatomy of gills (the presence of calcium concretions in them) in two related groups – Trigonida and Unionida – likely facilitate their mineralization. Gills of the members …

Sîrbu I., Benedek A.M. ioan.n.sirbu@ulbsibiu.ro What can be done when there is a shortage of assets, and a population size of a bivalve species has to be assessed along an extended river’s sector? The devoted method has to be replicated periodically by one or two rangers in the future. Another question: how can we explore …

Simon O. P., Hruška J., Horáčková J., Dort B., Douda K., Švanyga J., Bílý M., Švaříčková J. simon@fzp.czu.cz Even at the beginning of the 20th century, a strong population of freshwater pear mussel (FPM) amounting millions of individuals lived in many Czech rivers. During the 20th century, this bivalve gradually lost up to 95% of …

Providing a high quality genome for the ‘solar powered’ sea slug Elysia timida

Providing a high quality genome for the ‘solar powered’ sea slug Elysia timida

Schell T., Baranski D., Hamadou A. B., Christa G., Galià-Camps C., Greve C. carola.greve@senckenberg.de ‘Solar-powered’ sea slugs are fascinating! Elysia timida belongs to a small group of marine, heterobranch slugs, called Sacoglossa, of which certain species have the ability to incorporate and maintain the chloroplasts of its food algae. These ‘stolen’ plastids (kleptoplasts) are then …

Redescription of Rhinus species (Stylommatophora: Simpulopsidae) occurring in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest: a long-neglected genus amid environmental chaos

Salles A.C.A., Oliveira C.D.C., Pimenta A.D annacasalles@gmail.com Mollusca phylum is the second most diverse in terms of described species, and it also has the highest documented extinction rate. With the degradation of the environment and the increase in global temperature, terrestrial gastropods are strongly affected, corresponding to about 45% of endemic mollusks in Brazil at …

Antibiotic-Resistant Escherichia coli on Asian clam (Bivalvia, Corbiculidea): Case Study in the Tua River, Portugal

Antibiotic-Resistant Escherichia coli on Asian clam (Bivalvia, Corbiculidea): Case Study in the Tua River, Portugal

Saavedra M.J., Gomes S., Fernandes C., Teixeira A., Varandas S. saavedra@utad.pt Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health problem. Water use by human activities represents a natural reservoir of AMR, thus a time-integrated approach is required in aquatic ecosystems. Freshwater bivalves are widely applied as accumulation indicators and monitors of contaminant effects on different …
