We recorded and estimated per month, at the site of Vravrona (Attica, Greece), for a period equal to the assumed generation time (2.5 years), dispersal distances and directions from four remote release stations and minimal movements from recapture points of 200 individually marked specimens. Mean dispersal and minimal movement distances were small (162.4 and 53.5 cm, respectively), with most individuals moving short or medium distances, and few individuals dispersing longer distances (extreme recorded values: 750 and 844 cm). We found significant monthly fluctuations of dispersal and minimal movement distances, but not any auto- or partial correlation of those distances at any time lag, or relation to density and climatic factors. The differing dispersal patterns between stations were attributed to differences in the relative abundance and proximity of suitable refugia (crevices) at each station. Dispersal was not random but no systematic directional trends or migration from station to station were detected. However, spatial distribution was associated with evident clustering behaviour and the occurrence and connectivity of suitable refugia. Neighbourhood size was relatively small on average (198), but varied significantly (13-1082), depending on the varying dispersal and density values and habitat structure. The estimated low mean and the extreme recorded values of dispersal distances, the lack of systematic dispersal trends, and the association of dispersal and spatial patterns with habitat suitability and connectivity, along with clustering behaviour, support the hypothesis of a mixed population structure with adjacent subpopulations partly separated by physical barriers, and occasionally significant isolation-by-distance processes within each subpopulation. Therefore, we cannot dismiss the potential role of genetic drift and natural selection in promoting very local differentiation, especially in cases of less dense and more isolated populations.}, keywords = {Mollusca Gastropoda}, author = {Giokas, S. and Mylonas, M.} } @article {14867, title = {5000 years of molecular evolution in a population of the land snail Albinaria caerulea transported by humans}, journal = {Journal of Molluscan StudiesJournal of Molluscan Studies}, volume = {76}, year = {2010}, month = {Feb}, pages = {49-56}, isbn = {0260-1230}, author = {Giokas, Sinos and Thomaz, Diogo and Douris, Vassilis and Lecanidou, Rena and Rodakis, George C.} } @article {14627, title = {Reproductive cycle and fecundity of the date mussel Lithophaga lithophaga (Bivalvia: Mytilidae).}, journal = {Journal of Molluscan StudiesJournal of Molluscan Studies}, volume = {60}, number = {4}, year = {1994}, pages = {371-385}, author = {Galinou-Mitsoudi, S. and Sinis, A.

Based on a few such characters Carinigera is placed within the tribe Montenegrinini, whereas Isabellaria and Sericata are included within the tribe Medorini. This classification is unexpected on the basis of two observations: (1) Carinigera is conchologically indistinguishable from Sericata and highly similar to Isabellaria and (2) Carinigera, Isabellaria and Sericata have mosaic distributional patterns in central and northern Greece, which are difficult to explain given the low vagility of snails of these genera. The complete ITS1 and ITS2 and partial 18S rRNA, 5.8S rRNA and 28S rRNA sequences used in this study reveal that all Carinigera sensu auct. species are nested among Medorini, and should therefore be placed within that tribe. Apart from this, the results largely support the current higher classification of the Clausiliidae. Carinigera sensu auct. consists of at least two clades, which are not sister groups. Both are related to geographically close species hitherto classified with Sericata or Isabellaria. The two groups of Carinigera do not correspond to the alleged subgenera Angiticosta and Carinigera s.s. This study shows that, like conchological characters, the traditional diagnostic genital-anatomical characters used at tribe level suffer more often from homoplasy than previously thought. Therefore, classifications based on only a few such characters can be erroneous and should be mistrusted, especially when they conflict with both conchological and distributional patterns, as in Carinigera.}, keywords = {Mollusca}, author = {Uit de Weerd, D.R. and Gittenberger, E.} } @article {12866, title = {Unusual features of the development of the Sacoglosssan Elysia hopei in the Mediterranean Sea.}, journal = {Journal of Molluscan StudiesJournal of Molluscan Studies}, volume = {5}, year = {1984}, pages = {61-63.}, keywords = {kape Mollusca Gastropoda}, author = {Thompson, T.

In all, 5 species of Doto, 3 of Armina and 1 of Madrella, were investigated, yielding 5 new records for the eastern Mediterranean Sea and one species new to science, Armina tricuspidata from the Tyrrhenian Sea. The common arminid on the American coast from North Carolina to Texas is not A. tigrina as claimed by Abbott (1954) and by Eyster (1981), but is a new species, for which we propose the name Armina abbotti. Consideration of world-wide records of Madrella leads to the conclusion that the senior Madrella sanguinea Angas, 1864 embraces M. ferruginosa Alder \& Hancock, 1864, M. aurantiaca Vayssiere, 1903 and M. granularis Baba, 1949 (but not the Japanese M. gloriosa Baba, 1949, which is probably distinct).

The study lasted 6 months, from September 1997 to March 1998, and involved field observations on single and copulating individuals, and the study of the spermatophores within the genital tract. The two species have different aestivation habits and emergence times. Mastus olivaceus, which aestivates closer to the surface of the soil or in the litter, emerges soon after the first rains, while Mastus cretensis emerges later. Additionally, M. olivaceus starts aestivating over a month earlier than M. cretensis. M. olivaceus reproduces from late September till early January, while M. cretensis starts in early November and ends in early March. The bursa-like diverticulum of M. cretensis bears only one spermatophore, but in M. olivaceus from one to three spermatophores were found. The 91 spermatophores of M. olivaceus examined indicate intra-population variability in the number of transverse ridges and number of spines in the ornamentation of its distal part. These types of difference in spermatophore morphology should not, therefore, be considered species-specific.}, keywords = {Mollusca}, author = {Parmakelis, A. and Mylonas, M.} } @article {8495, title = {Differences in the life histories of Xerolenta obvia (Menke, 1828) (Hygromiidae) in a coastal and a mountainous area of northern Greece}, journal = {Journal of Molluscan StudiesJournal of Molluscan Studies}, volume = {71}, number = {3}, year = {2005}, note = {Cited By (since 1996): 1Export Date: 4 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Abdel-Rehim, A.H., The effects of temperature and humidity on the nocturnal activity of different shell colour morphs of the land snail Arianta arbustorum (1983) Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 20, pp. 385-395; Abdel-Rehim, A.H., Genetic differences in energy transmission between different shell colours of the polymorphic land snail Arianta arbustorum (1986) Proceeding of the Zoological Society of the A.

At Paleokastro snails hatch in autumn, become adult the following July, but do not lay eggs until October, after which they die. Clutch sizes are small, but eggs and hatchlings are large compared with those at Nea Karvali. Growth is fast in spring, and continues until the end of July. The young hatchlings have dark shell-bands, but by July a quarter of snails appear unbanded. At Nea Karvali, eggs are also laid in October, and young snails emerge from hibernation in March. Here, however, they do not mature until April of the following year. They thus have a 2-year life cycle, with adults dying in their second autumn. Clutches are about three times the size of those at Paleokastro, but eggs and hatchlings are significantly smaller. A little growth occurs in winter, but the rate of growth is generally much slower than at Paleokastro. Only 1-2\% of this population has banded shells; the bands are less obvious and they become invisible in some individuals as they mature. At both sites population density fluctuated during the two study years, but it was always higher at Nea Karvali. These results are discussed in relation to the differing climates of the sites, and comparisons made with studies on related species in the region. {\textcopyright} The Author 2005.

Apart from other flight agencies, airborne transport of loose specimens is not improbable in stormy weather conditions. Currently, mechanisms of wind-borne transport of sand particles over short and long distances have been intensively studied. The results are available in the literature on sediments, allowing the calculation of probable flight distances for particles in suspension. For living snails of the Aegean species Truncatellina rothi, an average fall velocity of 2.6-2.7 m s-1 has been determined in experiments under laboratory conditions. Applying these results, Truncatellina living on an island at 100 m altitude and close to the coast could be transported up to several kilometers in heavy storms, which are not uncommon in the Aegean archipelago (Greece). This would imply that many of the Aegean islands are not effectively isolated for minute snail species, and that genetic interchange between island populations is probably frequent.}, keywords = {Mollusca Gastropoda}, author = {Kirchner, Ch. and Kr{\"a}tzner, R. and Welter-Schultes, F.W.} } @article {7307, title = {Morphological and allozymic variation in populations of Mytilus galloprovincialis from the Aegean sea.}, journal = {Journal of Molluscan StudiesJournal of Molluscan Studies}, volume = {59}, number = {2}, year = {1993}, pages = {165-173}, abstract = {Eight populations of Mytilus galloprovincialis from different coasts of the Northern and Central Aegean Sea have been investigated at the morphological and allozymic level.

Fst values indicated strong genetic differentiation and thus little genetic exchange between populations. Allozyme differentiation could be explained with an isolation by distance model, whereas morphological differentiation could not. A morphological difference exists between sexes but not sufficient to discriminate males and females. A Mantel test showed no significant relationship between morphological distance (size corrected or not) and genetic distance.

B. graeca faces deterministic and stochastic aspects of this environment. Growth and reproduction were studied for two populations, one being covered by the water almost throughout the year and the other not. B. graeca is a semelparous annual freshwater snail whose life expectancy decreased with increasing age. Maturity was attained 4 months earlier for the first population. Reproduction took place in spring. The majority of adults died after egg-laying. Growth rate was rapid during spring, and activity ceased during winter. B. graeca is a prosobranch snail whose short turnover time (77.9 and 84.3 days) was similar to that seen in freshwater pulmonate snails. Productivity was assessed in two ways, by a size frequency method and by using cumulative biomass. Observed values, for the two methods respectively, were for mean biomass 18.53 and 22.8 g dry body weight/m2, for annual production (P) 86.81 and 88.38 g dry body weight/m2 or 9.56 gC/m2-year respectively, and for annual turnover ratio (P/B?) 4.68 and 3.87/year.

Slugs and a semi-slug were found only in the 2002 survey. Individual plots were very similar in species richness and composition; the richest plot contained about 85\% of the fauna recorded for the whole site. Overall densities were very high. This local homogeneity contrasts with marked heterogeneity over Crete as a whole. These results are contrasted with those from tropical forests, where individual plots vary considerably in richness and composition, where densities are lower and where the total site faunas are larger.

In both the Peloponnese and Crete, however, these represent a much lower proportion of total diversity than is the case for forest faunas from more northerly parts of Europe. The small island of Naxos has more uniform faunas. Some of this between-site diversity is a product of habitat heterogeneity, but most is a product of small-scale biogeographical differentiation. Despite the short (c. 250km) distances between regions, the faunas of each region differ far more than do faunas from forests in northern Europe spread over much greater distances.
