Special Publication 26 This new edition of Common and Scientific Names of Invertebrates from the United States and Canada: Mollusks represents the efforts of 15 molluscan taxonomic specialists in compiling a comprehensive checklist of the mollusks found in North America and Canada and their vernacular names. Built upon the success of the first edition, the authors have updated the nomenclature to reflect recent phylogenetic analyses and have included over 300 new species. Compiled in cooperation with the Council of Systematic Malacologists and the American Malacological Union, this standard of nomenclature covers the 6,272 marine, freshwater, and terrestrial mollusks. Many vernacular names have been added in this edition. Species are listed phylogenetically by class, order, and family, and they are indexed alphabetically by genus, species, and common name. This new edition is an invaluable reference book for scientific work and communication. A companion CD-ROM contains the text and figures from the book, allowing professionals and researchers electronic access to all the data contained in the book. Users can rapidly search for specific text strings and retrieve text for use in compiling, maintaining, and developing their own lists based on the second edition nomenclature. Strategic links allow quick and easy navigation between the various data elements. The disk contains installation routines for a wide variety of computer platforms including Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Macintosh, and Unix operating systems. This book includes: * over 6,200 species of marine, freshwater, and terrestrial mollusks * changes and additions to the first edition nomenclature * updated lists of endangered and possibly extinct species * general overview of molluscan biology and ecology * information about collecting and collections * recommendations for guidebooks and keys * directory of major North American museum collections * 50 color photographs

1997s The Mollusk is yet another sign that Ween just got better and better with each record. The Mollusk is perhaps their most concise and well- honed record to date. After the previous year's exercise in country music (12 Golden Country Greats) the duo returns to it's usual genre jumping, though there is a heavy focus on progressive rock. Often nautically themed and, as always, way smarter than they're given credit for, The Mollusk is one of the highest points in a brilliant catalog.

Mollusks have been important to humans since our earliest days. Initially, when humans were primarily interested in what they could eat or use, mollusks were important as food, ornaments, and materials for tools. Over the centuries, as human knowledge branched out and individuals started to study the world around them, mollusks were important subjects for learning how things worked. In this volume, the editors and contributors have brought together a broad range of topics within the field of malacology. It is our expectation that these topics will be of interest and use to amateur and professional malacologists.

Crustaceans and mollusks are the glamor species of the seafood in­ dustry. Interest in aquaculture 1 of these invertebrates, frequently re­ ferred to as shellfishes, has resulted from increased exploitation of wild stocks. This has driven prices up to levels very attractive to investors. Much attention has been focused on crustaceans such as freshwater crawfishes, freshwater prawns, penaeid shrimps, and hom­ arid lobsters, and mollusks such as oysters, clams, mussels, scallops, and abalone. Success has been greatest with low trophic level species such as freshwater crawfishes and bivalve mollusks where nature subsidizes the aquaculturist in many ways, providing feed at low or no cost, seed for culture systems, waste removal, and so forth. Species such as homarid lobsters, penaeid shrimps, and abalone may have complicated life cycles, relatively slow growth rates, and other prob­ lems that have, so far, limited development of aquaculture of these high value, high visibility species. All taxa listed initially can be cultured from egg to egg in captivity, but many factors influence the commercial profitability of raising them in the United States. Investment in aquaculture of crustaceans and mollusks in the United States or by U. S. companies abroad has been extensive. Yet, only freshwater crawfishes and oysters have been cul­ tured on a truly large-scale, profitable basis to date in the United States proper. Other taxa such as penaeid shrimps and abalones are being cultured in the Orient where demand justifies expensive, labor­ intensive culture systems.

AUTHOR AND FORMER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER Cathryn Sill and her husband, noted wildlife illustrator John Sill, offer young readers a first glimpse into the natural world of mollusks in their latest book in the acclaimed About... series. In simple, easy-to-understand language children learn what mollusks are, how they look, how they move, what they eat, and where they live. The beautifully detailed, full-color illustrations reflect the vast diversity of the mollusk population--from a sixteen-foot-long Giant Pacific Octopus to an eight-inch-long BananaSlug--and present each in its natural habitat. The afterword, which provides details on the mollusks featured, will inspire young readers to learn more.
