“…Aspects of thermohaline circulation and Ekman transport interact to promote seasonal upwelling (ALVAREZ-BORREGO, 2002;BRAY, 1988;BRAY and ROBLES, 1991;RODEN, 1964). As a result, primary biological productivity is prodigious (ALVAREZ-BORREGO and LARA-LARA, 1991;ZEITZSCHEL, 1969), and the region supports a diverse array of marine invertebrates that commonly secrete calcareous shells, skeletons, or tests (BRUSCA, 1980;KEEN, 1971). Numerous localities with carbonate-sand beaches occur as pockets along the length of the peninsula's gulf coast (CARRANZA-EDWARDS et al, 1998).…”

“…-(Reeve 1864a: 440) The above diatribe is amusing as the first sentence describes, to some extent, Reeve's own actions. Contrary to Reeve's prediction, both of the Carpenter taxa discussed are now treated as valid (Keen 1971) as Pitar pollicaris (Carpenter, 1864a) and Transennella puella (Carpenter, 1864a). Reeve's snide comment about "the soft parts of the shells" is particularly ridiculous.…”

Lovell Reeve was a major figure in 19 th Century malacology in England. In addition to his monumental Conchologia Iconica, he wrote, among other works, Elements of Conchology, the Conchologia Systematica, and The Land and Freshwater Mollusks Indigenous to, or Naturalized in, the British Isles. He co-authored with Arthur Adams the Mollusca parts of The Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Samarang. Reeve established a printing and publishing firm and produced not only his own works but numerous other natural history books, many finely illustrated. Biographical data are given and his introduction to the study of shells is discussed. That is followed by a short history of his printing and publishing firms which had several name changes over the years. Several contemporaries involved with Reeve in various ways are profiled and his business relationships are briefly treated. Reeve’s early interest in stereographic photography is described. Comments about his descriptions of new species are offered as are the opinions of others on Reeve’s descriptive methods. A few unusual problems involving some of Reeve’s taxa are described as is the manner in which authorship of taxa is treated herein. The major portion of the paper then follows, listing and describing his conchological publications and dating and collating those that were serially published, some never before accurately collated and/or dated. Non-molluscan serial publications that he owned and edited are listed with annotations. A complete bibliography of Lovell Reeve is given for the first time.

“…Even so, morphological variation is present within the species and accounts of species distribution along the Pacific coast of North and Central America differ, or at most are unclear. For example, the reported range of N. subnodosus varies from Keen (1971), who reports it ranges as far south as Peru, to Smith (1991), who reports the southern boundary of N. subnodosus lies at the tip of the Baja California Peninsula while a third species, N. arthriticus , is present southward. Recent phylogenetic work on Pectinids include that by Saavedra and Peña (2006) and Puslednik and Serb (2008), which show N. subnodosus and N. nodosus to be monophyletic; however, neither report N. arthriticus .…”

Nuclear and mtDNA lineage diversity in wild and cultured Pacific lion-paw scallop, Nodipecten subnodosus (Baja California Peninsula, Mexico)

Pacific lion-paw scallops were collected from natural aggregations in Laguna Ojo de Liebre (Pacific Ocean), the Gulf of California, and from aquaculture facilities for genetic diversity analyses. Mitochondrial DNA sequencing uncovered two highly supported clades separated by 2.5% divergence. Data from ten microsatellite markers suggest individuals from these mitogroups are introgressed, raising questions about the mitotype origin. Some evidence suggests gene flow between La Paz and Ojo de Liebre; otherwise the Gulf of California and Ojo de Liebre are acting as two distinct populations. It is unclear whether translocations between sites have influenced the observed genetic structure or whether gene flow has been facilitated by past geologic events. Finally, scallops spawned for aquaculture are unique from the wild and have significantly less diversity. These results warrant the attention of managers and producers who should work to monitor and conserve genetic diversity in both wild and aquaculture populations.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00227-010-1534-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
