蜑螺属Nerita几个混淆种的比较研究(腹足纲,珍珠蜑螺目,蜑螺科)

蜑螺科Neritidae蜑螺属Nerita的一些种类形态近似,形态鉴定上存在种类混淆、同物异名或错误鉴定等现象。作者在整理中国科学院南海海洋生物标本馆和中国科学院海洋生物标本馆历年来采集的蜑螺科标本时,对4种隶属于蜑螺属的易混淆种进行了比较研究。通过对标本的反复对比,分别找出了它们之间外部形态、地理分布以及生活习性方面的差异,澄清了混淆,确立了其分类地位:1)矮狮蜑螺Nerita chamaeleon Linnaeus,1758和圆蜑螺Nerita histrio Linnaeus,1758两者贝壳形态相近,在我国海区分布重叠,存在混淆以及错误鉴定的现象,根据螺旋部以及壳面雕刻可将它们区分开,即前者壳面螺肋光滑,后者螺肋粗糙,而前者螺旋部较后者高;2)锦蜑螺Nerita polita Linnaeus,1758和杂色蜑螺Nerita litterata Gmelin,1791两个种常被混淆在一起,都鉴定为锦蜑螺,前者在我国见于台湾、海南岛和西沙群岛,后者在我国见于台湾、福建、广东、广西和西沙群岛,其中杂色蜑螺此前在我国仅见于台湾,本文的报道进一步完善了该种的地理分布信息。     

南海蜑螺科一新记录属和一新记录种记述 (软体动物门:腹足纲:珍珠蜑螺目)

作者在整理中国科学院海洋生物标本馆馆藏蜑螺科Neritidae标本时，鉴定出产自海南三亚的一新记录属饰纹蜑螺属Vittina Baker，1924和一新记录种：裂蜑螺Vittina pennata（von Born，1778）。文中详细描述了本种的贝壳形态特征，查明了其生活习性和地理分布特点，并与相似种进行了比较和总结。     

南海芋螺科一新记录种(软体动物门, 腹足纲, 新腹足目)

在对中国科学院南海海洋生物标本馆馆藏芋螺科 Conidae 标本, 以及近年来在南海补充采集的标本进行整理的过程中, 通过形态分类学方法鉴定发现隶属于芋螺属 Conus 的中国海新记录种1种: 锈色芋螺 Conus ferrugineus Hwass in Bruguière, 1792, 标本采自西沙群岛。文章描述了该种的外部形态, 查明了其生活习性和地理分布特点, 并与相似种犊纹芋螺 Conus vitulinus Hwass in Bruguière, 1792 进行了比较, 通过壳口内面前沟部位的颜色可将两者区分开: 锈色芋螺呈白色, 而犊纹芋螺呈紫 (褐) 色; 同时对这两个相似种的其他区别特征进行了总结。     

蜑螺科软体动物系统分类学研究进展

蜑螺科是一类广盐性腹足类动物,主要分布在热带和亚热带海域,是潮间带底栖生物群落的重要组成部分之一,该科动物为探讨物种适应辐射及热带海域生物多样性模式提供了重要研究材料。本文对蜑螺科的国内外系统分类学研究现状和趋势进行了回顾与展望。蜑螺类动物为适应不同生境而进化出多样的贝壳形态,仅依据外部形态很容易产生误导或错误鉴定,因此蜑螺科的分类系统以及一些种属的有效性仍存在争议。我国缺乏系统的蜑螺科分类学研究,已报道的种类还不能完全反应中国海实际的物种数。未来需强化标本采集,在传统形态学分类的基础上,借助分子生物学和解剖学等手段,明确中国海蜑螺科种属组成和区系特点,进而完善蜑螺科的系统分类学研究。     

厦门近海尖梭螺属(软体动物门, 腹足纲, 梭螺科)一新记录种

在福建厦门近海采集到梭螺科Ovulidae尖梭螺属Cuspivolva 中国海新记录种1种, 即武装尖梭螺Cuspivolva bellica (C. N. Cate, 1973)。标本采自厦门近海低潮线附近, 栖息于鞭柳珊瑚Ellisella sp.的枝杈表面, 现保存于中国科学院南海热带海洋生物标本馆。本文对此新记录种的外部形态、生活习性和地理分布等进行了描述和记录, 并与近似种进行了比较和讨论。截至目前, 我国已知尖梭螺属共8种, 该新记录种的发现和报道, 进一步丰富了我国海域梭螺科物种的多样性。     

中国沿海常见蜑螺科贝类的DNA条形码

DNA条形码不仅为物种鉴定提供了有效方法,而且也有助于分类学和生物多样性研究。本研究旨在探讨将COI和16S rRNA基因序列应用于中国沿海蜑螺科贝类物种鉴定的可行性,获得了该科3属7种贝类61个个体的COI和16S rRNA基因序列。基于COI基因序列的种内遗传距离为0.00—1.29%,平均为0.67%;属内种间遗传距离为4.62%—19.25%,平均为13.02%;基于16S rRNA基因序列的种内遗传距离为0.00%—0.48%,平均为0.23%;属内种间遗传距离为2.47%—8.48%,平均为6.37%。两种基因序列在所研究的蜑螺中,种内遗传差异均小于种间遗传差异,存在明显的条形码间隙,所有物种在系统发生树上都表现为独立的单系群。结果表明,线粒体COI和16S rRNA基因序列可以作为DNA条形码标准基因对蜑螺科贝类进行有效地物种鉴定。     

中国近海核果螺属和小核螺属(腹足纲,骨螺科,红螺亚科)的分类研究

核果螺属(Drupa)和小核果螺属(Drupella),隶属于骨螺科(Muricidae)、红螺亚科(Rapaninae)。它们为暖水性较强的热带种类,主要分布于南中国海(海南岛以南),栖息于潮间带至浅海珊瑚礁或岩礁质环境中。对中国科学院海洋生物标本馆收藏的骨螺科标本进行了整理分类,共鉴定出2属,7种。并对以往使用混乱的种名进行了修订。     

中国近海荔枝螺属的研究(腹足纲:骨螺科)

荔枝螺属Thais,隶属于腹足纲（Gastropoda）、骨螺科（Muricidae）。本属动物主要生活在潮间带的岩石上或石砾间。过去对荔枝螺属虽有些零星报道,但缺乏系统研究。作者通过整理分类中国科学院海洋生物标本馆收藏的骨螺科标本,共鉴定出荔枝螺属20种,其中2种在中国沿海为首次报道。     

中国海芋螺属一新记录(腹足纲,芋螺科)

黄海北部两种蛾螺(腹足纲,蛾螺科)种名修订

作者在系统地对中国科学院海洋生物标本馆历年来在我国沿海采集的蛾螺属Buccinum标本进行系统整理时,发现产自于黄海北部,在《黄渤海软体动物》一书中所描述的两种蛾螺,原定名为水泡蛾螺Buccinium pemphigum Dall,1907和尖角蛾螺Buccinium undatum plectrum Stimpson,1865,存在种名误定。通过研究确认水泡蛾螺Buccinium pemphigum Dall,1907应是朝鲜蛾螺Buccinium koreanum Choe,YoonHabe,1992,而书中所描述的尖角蛾螺Buccinium undatum plectrum Stimpson,1865应是朝鲜蛾螺的一个形态变异标本。文中对朝鲜蛾螺的形态特征、齿舌和内部构造进行了研究论述,并与水泡蛾螺和尖角蛾螺的形态差异进行了比较讨论。     

Effects of salinity on mineralogy and chemical composition of Cerastoderma edule and Monodonta articulata shells

Shells of the mollusks Cerastoderma (Cerastoderma) edule (Linnaeus 1758) and Monodonta (Osilinus) articulata Lamark 1822 from salt evaporate basins in western Sicily are studied and the effect of environmental conditions (particularly salinity and water chemistry) on mineralogy and chemical composition is investigated and discussed.

The elements determined both in seawater and shell carbonate are: Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Ni, Co, Cu, Zn, Sr and Pb.

Both species studied discriminate against all the minor and trace elements determined; the degree of such discrimination, for some elements, is inversely related to salinity.

The mineralogical composition of the shells (Monodonta has a mixed mineralogy while Cerastoderma is entirely aragonitic) appears to be controlled neither by temperature nor by salinity.

In Monodonta shells direct correlations have been found between the following parameters: calcite-Sr (in younger shells only), calcite-Fe, calcite-Pb (in older shells only), calcite-Zn, salinity-Mg and salinity-Pb, whereas inverse correlations were observed between calcite and Sr (in older shells only) and calcite and Pb (in younger shells only). In Cerastoderma shells a direct correlation was found between salinity and Fe and Mg.

The thickness of the shells appears, in both species, to be an inverse linear function of salinity.

Epibiotic assemblages on the pen shell Pinna rudis (Bivalvia,Pinnidae) at Matiota Beach,São Vicente Island,Cabo Verde

The rough pen shell Pinna rudis Linnaeus, 1758 (family Pinnidae), a mollusc with an Atlantic–Mediterranean distribution, is able to live in coarse sandy substrates. Considering its shell structure and ecological characteristics, P. rudis can enhance biodiversity by providing a substrate for settlement on its shell. For this reason, we compared the diversity of benthic taxa around P. rudis shells with the species diversity on P. rudis shells, at Matiota Beach, São Vicente Island, Cabo Verde. We sampled an area of 900 m2 and recorded data in situ to estimate the population size of P. rudis and the epibiotic and benthic community diversity. The average density of P. rudis estimated in the sampled area was 6.6 ind. 100 m–2 and the highest density was found at between 2 and 3 m depth, mostly in biogenic and sandy substrates. The epibiotic species diversity on P. rudis shells was significantly higher than the species diversity in the microhabitat around the shells. The P. rudis shell seems to play an important role in increasing the biodiversity of the ecosystem, with some species found only as epibionts on P. rudis.     

中国近海蛾螺科的初步研究Ⅰ.唇齿螺属及甲虫螺属

蛾螺科(Buccinidae)是腹足类软体动物中经济价值较大、种类较多的一个科,许多种类在世界上某些地区被视为美味上品,它们不仅个体大,而且产量多,营养价值高,如香螺、东风螺等为我国主要经济贝类。该科种类遍布世界各海区,既有分布于高纬度区域的冷水种,也有局限于低纬度区域的暖水种。种类不同栖息的环境也不同,有岩石、珊瑚礁、沙、泥沙及软泥等底质;从潮间带至水深数千米的深海都有分布。 作者根据中国科学院海洋研究所多年来搜集的标本,记述了我国海域唇齿螺属(Engina)和甲虫螺属(Cantharus)种类共14种,其中5种为我国首次记录。     

Role of bivalve mollusks in the sediment balance of the Anapa Bay Bar

The sandy beaches of Anapa Bay Bar are a unique natural resource, but they are gradually being degrade under both natural and anthropogenic factors. The emissions of sand and shelly ground from the adjacent sea bottom partly compensate for this process. The concentration of carbonates may reach up to 50% in the beach sands, and most of these carbonates are of mollusk origin. The major deposit formation role belongs to the key bivalve species: Chamelea gallina (Linnaeus, 1758). The average biomass of this mollusk species reaches up to 450 g/m² at the depths of 5–10 m. The other two subdominating mollusk species, the bivalve Donax trunculus (Linnaeus, 1758) and the gastropod Rapana venosa (Valenciennes, 1846), may impact as 16 g/m² and 6 g/m², respectively. Annually, 350 kg of shelly ground per running meter are newly deposited on Anapa beach.     

Regional and temporal changes in epizoobiontic bryozoan-communities of Flustra foliacea (Linnaeus, 1758) and implications for North Sea ecology

Until recently, bryozoans have not been used as indicators for changes in bottom communities or climate control in the North Sea Basin, despite a 200-year history of bryozoan collecting. The epizoobiontic bryozoan fauna of Flustra foliacea (Linnaeus, 1758) was analysed on 51 sample stations kept in four German museums. The samples cover the entire North Sea and different time periods (1776–2008, mainly the period of 1904/1905 compared to 1980–87). Cluster analysis shows a differentiation into a northern and a southern North Sea assemblage. The northern assemblage is characterized by Amphiblestrum flemingii (Busk, 1854), Callopora dumerilii (Audouin, 1826) and Tricellaria ternata (Ellis & Solander, 1786), while the southern North Sea is characterized by Electra pilosa (Linnaeus, 1767), Crisia eburnea (Linnaeus, 1758) and Plagioecia patina (Lamarck, 1816). Spatial separation approximately follows the 50 m depth contour. The temporal distribution patterns of bryozoans are discussed in terms of NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation) and temperature variations.
