Volume 1 in this series reported the scientific results from our survey of the freshwater gastropods of United States Atlantic drainages, Georgia to the New York line. In the preface to that volume, I mentioned that during the 30 years over which the FWGNA Project has developed, I developed the habit of sending regular emails to an expanding list of collaborators, a practice which ultimately evolved into an internet blog. Those emails and blog posts have sometimes contained important supplementary information on the biology of the fascinating organisms toward which the FWGNA Project has been directed, as well as historical background, context, and rationale for various methodological and taxonomic decisions made in Volume 1. Here in Volume 2 we collect 29 essays on the evolutionary biology and systematics of the freshwater pulmonate gastropods, published online between 2004 and 2015. These essays have been edited rather heavily from the form in which they were originally posted, in many cases, and re-ordered into subthemes. Essays 1 – 14 review topics in the Lymnaeidae, essays 16 – 21 the Ancylidae/Planorbidae, and essays 22 – 29 the Physidae, with topics of a more general nature sprinkled throughout. Each essay opens with its date of publication, which is important to notice, because single themes can span multiple years, and my own thoughts have often evolved over time.

Lucid line drawings and photos, 16 in fine color. Based on some 15 years of study and collection in both polar regions and most areas of the tropics and temperate zones. Detailed treatment is given on all known pelagic snails (aoubt 140 species) including: external anatomy, swimming and buoyancy mec

100 color photo plates illustrate 1600+ species, including species not illustrated in other identification books, & show variation within many species. Covers Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Scaphopoda and Cephalopoda, and includes 4 plates devoted to land snails and fresh water gastropods. All species are annotated with a concise description and a distribution profile within the Philippines. This is an essential book for any shell library.

A general introduction to gastropods, or snails, of which there are approximately 80,000 kinds living in the sea, in freshwater, and on land.

All you need to know to log and classify the shells in your collection. Hints, tips and expert advice to help you get started.Over 150 photographs and illustrations make it easy to identify your finds in the field: Gastropods, bivalves, cephalopods and scaphopods. This practical identification guide covers a wide range of shells from all parts of the world. The book combines comprehensive and informative text with color illustrations, focusing on the shells themselves rather than on the marine creatures that once inhabited them.An introductory section covers mollusks and their classification, terminology and collection, along with conservation issues and an invaluable identification key.The main section is the identification guide to species in precise detail and clarity. The description of each species is accompanied on the same page with an easy-to-use identification key and color illustration.

Shakespeare's Spiral aims to explore a figure forgotten in the dramatic texts of Shakespeare and in Renaissance painting: the snail. Taking as its point of departure the emergence of the gastropod object/subject in the text of King Lear as well as its iconic interface in Giovanni Bellini's painting Allegory of Falsehood (circa 1490), this study sets out to follow the particular path traced by the snail throughout the œuvre. From the central scene in which the metaphor of the snail and of its shell is specifically made manifest when Lear discovers, in a raging storm, the spectacle of Edgar disguised as Poor Tom coming out of his shelter (III.3.6-9) to the monster, this fiend, displaying on the cliffs of Dover, "horms whelked and waved like the enridgèd sea" (IV.6.71), this work is the trace of a narrative - of a journey of the gaze - during the course of which the cryptic question of the gastropod - "Why a Snail [...]?" (I.5.26) - does not cease to be developed and transformed. Incorporating a wide-ranging post-structuralist critique, the study aims to bring to light the particular functions of this "revealing detail" in both its textual and visual dimension so as to put forward a new and innovatory understanding of the tragedy of King Lear.

Abalone is a unique delicacy tasting like nothing else that comes from the sea. And the best abalone are found just off the coast of California. Gourmets know it as California's Golden Gastropod, or as the Sirloin of the Sea. To us, abalone was our staple food during our lean years of student life; it was our manna from the ocean. The recipes listed are varied to suit your enthusiasn, skill, and time. They're not really hard once you get the hang of it. As Mitzi says, "If you can read, you can cook - probably."

In 1908, "Pop" Ernest Doelter was crowned the Abalone King. In the kitchen of his Alvarado Street restaurant in Monterey, California, Pop transformed rubbery gastropods into an epicurean delight. Working with red abalone collected by Monterey's community of Japanese divers, Pop dipped the foot in egg wash, added a secret ingredient, rolled it in cracker crumbs and cooked it quickly in olive oil. Tourists and celebrities alike sat down at Pop's table to enjoy his famous recipe, and eventually, he shipped steaks on ice to hotels and restaurants throughout the state. Pull up a chair as historian Tim Thomas recounts the story of an innovative restaurateur and a group of pioneering fishermen who turned underappreciated mollusks into the talk of the 1915 San Francisco World's Fair.

Here is a comprehensive review of the ecology of freshwater bivalves and gastropods worldwide. Robert Dillon discusses the ecology of these species in its broadest sense, including diet, habitat, and reproductive biology to emphasize the tremendous diversity of these freshwater invertebrates. He develops a new life history model that unifies them and reviews their population and community ecology, treating competition, predation, parasitism, and biogeography. Extensively referenced and synthesizing work from the nineteenth century through to the present day, this book includes original analyses that unify previous work into a coherent whole.
