“…Both clades included haplotypes from Malaysia that are also implicated in East African invasions [24,59]. This is consistent with Chiu et al [29] who suggested that haplotypes recovered in other studies of invaded regions (Caribbean, Central America, South America, Africa, and Miami, Florida, West Africa) mainly originated from Malaysia. Our results generally corroborate these phylogeographic patterns and provide additional evidence for serial invasions from multiple regions of origin.…”

“…As invasive populations of M. tuberculata are primarily females that reproduce via parthenogenesis, haplotypes are generally conserved [28] and relatively easy to match to putative source populations via barcoding with mitochondrial (cytochrome oxidase I, COI) and ribosomal markers (16s rDNA) [7,11,16,24,29,30]. Additionally, studies have shown that unique haplotypes are represented by unique, conserved shell morphs [7,24,30,31], providing a useful tool for resource managers to track invasions.…”

Melanoides tuberculata sensu lato (Thiaridae) are polymorphic female-clonal snails of Asian and African origins that have invaded freshwaters worldwide, including those in Florida. Although the snails have been documented in Florida for at least 70 years, no studies have investigated whether the observed distribution is due to a single introduction or multiple independent invasions. Here, cytochrome oxidase I was used to measure genetic diversity within and among sites in Florida and compare genetic diversity between Florida and other regions of the world. We also examined the relationship between shell morphology and haplotype diversity to determine if shell morphs can serve as a proxy for haplotypes. In total, we recovered 8 haplotypes randomly distributed across populations in Florida. Phylogenetic reconstruction supported the hypothesis of multiple invasions by diverse representatives of the M. tuberculata species complex. In contrast, shell morphology was not found to be a useful phylogeographic character, with divergent haplotypes represented by similar shell forms. These results suggest that the observed invasion patterns in Florida are best explained by serial introductions, and that shell morphology cannot be used to predict haplotypes or reconstruct invasion history of Melanoides tuberculata s.l. and that extensive taxonomic revisions are needed to investigate invasion dynamics.

“…Many of the snails within Clade 2 have been identified as invasive lineages and are likely of Asian origin (Facon et al 2003; Genner et al 2004; Van Bocxlaer et al 2015). The phylogenetic placement of Malaysian haplogroups (Chiu et al 2018) with these invasive lineages supports these conclusions; thus, the Texas haplogroup H1, as well as all of the morphs within Clade 2, likely originated in Southeast Asia.…”

“…Our NJ distance matrix showed COL has 99.59% sequence identity with FAL and 100% identity with the ND sample (AY456618), which we labeled as PHI to resolve the ND designation. Furthermore, we were able to incorporate several Malaysian haplotypes (MAL H6-H8, MAL H12, and MAL H13; Chiu et al 2018) deposited into GenBank in our analyses, which may not have been available to previous studies (Table 3). Therefore, it is likely that all the morphs within Sub-clade 4.1 are from Southeast Asia, and specifically, haplogroup H3 detected Texas is originally from the Philippines.…”

Genetic and morphological variation is associated with differences in cold-water tolerance and geographic expansion among invasive snails (Melanoides tuberculata) in central Texas

24Melanoides tuberculata (Thiaridae) is an old-world freshwater snail that is and now 25 circumtropical. After being introduced in the 1960s via the aquarium trade, populations of M. 26 tuberculata are thriving in spring systems of Texas (USA). Field surveys and experimental 27 investigations of temperature tolerance suggest M. tuberculata is stenothermal, and thus range 28 expansions outside of aquatic habitats with water temperatures between 18° and 32°C should be 29 unlikely. However, in 2012 snails were detected in natural aquatic habitats with seasonal 30 temperatures below the experimentally determined lethal thermal minimum. To test whether 31 genetic and phenotypic variation might be associated with cold-water tolerance and range 32 expansion, we sequenced the 16S ribosomal rRNA gene and measured qualitative conch 33 morphology of 170 snails collected at 26 sites in three central Texas rivers. We also conducted 34 phylogenetic analyses of M. tuberculata collected globally and in Texas to determine potential 35 source populations and estimate the number of invasion events. Our results show snails detected 36 in variable temperature habitats are genetically divergent and morphologically distinct from 37 snails collected in habitats with stable temperatures. These data are consistent with at least three 38 introduction events into Texas of M. tuberculata sensu lato that are characterized by distinct

“…12, figs 1-2). It was shown that Melanoides tuberculata sensu lato represents a complex of distant phylogenetic lineages that cannot be separated by means of a morphological approach alone (Facon et al 2003;Van Bocxlaer et al 2015;Chiu et al 2019). The validity of Melanoides thachi cannot be justified based on the original diagnosis, and hence we would consider it as taxon inquirendum until its full species status is reaffirmed using a body of more convincing evidences.…”

Nominal taxa of freshwater Mollusca from Southeast Asia described by Dr. Nguyen N. Thach: A brief overview with new synonyms and fixation of a publication date

In this correspondence, we present a summary of taxonomic names of freshwater Mollusca introduced by Dr. Nguyen N. Thach, an enthusiastic and productive malacologist from Vietnam. We show that this researcher described one new genus and 12 new nominal species of freshwater molluscs from Southeast Asia. Two of these nominal species, Sinanodonta hunganhi Thach, 2016 and Lanceolaria bogani Thach, 2016 (Bivalvia: Unionidae), were already considered junior synonyms of S. jourdyi (Morlet, 1886) and L. fruhstorferi (Dautzenberg, 1900), respectively (Do et al. 2018; Đặng and Hố 2019). Here, we propose one more synonym for the invasive Golden Apple Snail as follows: Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck, 1822) [=Pomacea thachi Huber in Thach, 2020 syn. nov.] (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae). Furthermore, we establish the formal synonymy for the following taxa: Taia Annandale, 1918 [=Boganmargarya Thach, 2018 syn. nov.]; Taia shanensis (Kobelt, 1909) [=Boganmargarya huberi Thach, 2018 syn. nov.] (Gastropoda: Viviparidae); Brotia henriettae (Gray in Griffith & Pidgeon, 1833) [=Brotia frankhuberi Thach, 2020 syn. nov.; Brotia bogani Thach & Huber in Thach, 2020 syn. nov.] (Gastropoda: Pachychilidae); Pila pesmei (Morlet, 1889) [=Pila huberi Thach, 2020 syn. nov.] (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae); and Paludomus andersoniana Nevill, 1877 [=Paludomus huberi Thach, 2020 syn. nov.] (Gastropoda: Paludomidae). Additionally, four nominal species are treated here as taxa inquirenda: Melanoides thachi Huber in Thach, 2020 (Gastropoda: Thiaridae), Trochoita frankohleri Thach & Huber in Thach, 2020 (Gastropoda: Viviparidae), Paracrostoma huberi Thach, 2018 (Gastropoda: Pachychilidae), and Pseudodon artbogani Thach & Huber in Thach, 2020 (Bivalvia: Unionidae). We also show that the publication date written on the title page of the book “New Shells of South Asia. Volume 2” (Thach, 2020a) is a bit misleading and that this book appeared in the printed form on 23 June 2020. The latter date is fixed here as the date of availability of taxonomic names introduced in this work. Finally, we present an annotated checklist of freshwater Mollusca described by N. N. Thach with approximate coordinates of the type localities and reference to corresponding river drainage basins.
