Insights from an Integrated View of the Biology of Apple Snails (Caenogastropoda: Ampullariidae)

“…However, the environment may also influence the expression of banding, with bands often appearing, disappearing or changing in intensity coincident with strong growth lines (Estebenet et al, 2006). Saulea vitrea (Born, 1778) exhibits a quite different banding pattern, with highly variable coaxial zigzag brown and yellow bands, or may lack bands entirely (Brown, 1994).…”

Phylogeny and Species Diversity of Gulf of California Oysters (Ostreidae) Inferred from Mitochondrial DNA*

“…Within Saccostrea, S. palmula was somewhat less separated from other included worldwide species of Saccostrea. This species is part of a group that should be referred to as the Saccostrea cucullata (Born, 1778) species group, referring to the oldest nominal species in this group, except that we found confusion in GenBank regarding the identity of sequences referred to S. cucullata by different authors. Saccostrea palmula is likely distinct from these other species, based on especially COI sequence divergence (Fig.…”

“…Still missing are sequences from more southern localities reported for S. palmula, as far south as Ecuador (Félix Pico 2007). Sequences whose GenBank identifi cation is S. cucullata (Born, 1778) are unlikely to have come from a single species, with multiple haplotypes grouping independent of each other throughout the tree.…”

Taxonomy of Pinnotheres bipunctatus Nicolet, 1849 with a distributional checklist of the Pinnotheridae of Chile and Peru, and a list of the Crustacea described by Hercule Nicolet in the Atlas of the Physical and Political History of Chile

“…Host: Gastropoda: Calyptraeidae: Calyptraea sp., Crepidula fecunda Gallardo, 1979(= Crepipatella peruviana (Lamarck, 1822) (Schmitt et al, 1973;Campos, 1999). Paredes & Cardoso (2007) recorded Pinnotheres ostreum (now in Zaops) in Trochita trochiformis (Born, 1778) from Peru. Because Z. ostreum lives in oysters it is assumed that the recorded symbiont is C. politus.…”
