All four genera were strongly supported in a molecular phylogenetic analysis of select vermetid taxa in Golding et al (2014), with Dendropoma and Ceraesignum forming a robust monophyletic grouping, and with Novastoa and Cupolaconcha more closely related to other vermetid groups.…”

Abstract.A new species of vermetid gastropod belonging to the genus Novastoa Finlay, 1926, N. rapaitiensis sp. nov., is described from French Polynesia and the Great Barrier Reef, based on morpho-anatomical and molecular data, increasing the recognized extant diversity of this genus from five to six species. The new species is characterized by the largest operculum in the genus to date, with a conspicuous spindle-shaped mammilla that readily distinguishes this species from its congeners. Based on available data, members of the studied populations of N. rapaitiensis sp. nov. are interpreted as a single species, although slight morphological and color differences exist between localities separated by up to 7000 km. The larval development of N. rapaitiensis sp. nov. is inferred to be direct, raising new questions about genetic connectivity and dispersal trajectories across a vast geographic range. Additional molecular data may prove helpful in refining our current knowledge on the morphological variability within this species and verifying the degree of cryptic diversity in this genus.

colony morphology. Given that structural complexity of coral colonies is an important determinant of "habitat quality" for many other species (fishes and invertebrates), these results suggest that the vermetid gastropod, C. maximum (with a widespread distribution and reported increases in density in some portions of its range), may have important indirect effects on many coral-associated organisms.

with biomass was steeper for reefs where vermetid densities had been experimentally reduced. Survival was also greater on living coral Porites lobata (where coral growth covered longitudinal extensions of vermetid shells) relative to dead coral substrate (where vermetid shells extensions remained exposed). These data suggest little scope for regulation of vermetid population growth via direct density dependence in demographic rates. However, given that vermetids can kill corals, and vermetid survival probabilities appear to depend upon coral cover, it is predicted that vermetids may experience cyclical dynamics that are coupled to the dynamics of living coral.
