The Mechanism of Locomotion in Gastropod Molluscs
Whereas the broad outline of the mechanical events of locomotion can in most animals be readily visualized, the mechanism of propulsion in gastropods is less easily observed. Since the seventeenth century (Lister, 1694) a great deal of attention has been paid to this problem and a wealth of suggestions has been forthcoming; there is, however, a significant absence of convincing experimental dat...
متن کاملAccumulation of heavy metals in freshwater molluscs.
Heavy metals in the aquatic environment have to date come mainly from naturally occurring geochemical materials. However, this has been enhanced by human activity such as gold mining in the case of heavy metal pollution in Sg Sarawak Kanan. The high suspended solid loads in the river have quite efficiently removed most soluble metals from the water and trapped them in the bottom sediment. Three...
متن کاملVolatility in the effective size of a freshwater gastropod population
Despite the utility of gastropod models for the study of evolutionary processes of great generality and importance, their effective population size has rarely been estimated in the field. Here, we report allele frequency variance at three allozyme-encoding loci monitored over 7 years in a population of the invasive freshwater pulmonate snail Physa acuta (Draparnaud 1805), estimating effective p...
متن کاملOccurrence and Distribution of Primary Freshwater Molluscs in Singapore
Freshwater molluscs are important components of the fauna of Singapore. However, a perusal of local literature has shown a paucity of information on these animals. A survey was conducted to investigate the occurrence and distribution of the primary (non-brackish) freshwater molluscs of Singapore. Six different types of habitats were sampled from around the island. Four localities were chosen to...
متن کاملNon-synaptic neuronal mechanisms of learning and memory in gastropod molluscs.
Gastropod molluscs provide important model systems for investigating the behavioral and neural basis of associative and non-associative learning. Habituation, sensitization, classical and operant conditioning are studied in motor reflex and central pattern generator circuits. Although synaptic plasticity has long been recognized as playing a key role in molluscan learning circuits, non-synaptic...
