THE IDENTITY OF GASTROCHAENA CUNEIFORMIS SPENGLER, 1783, AND THE EVOLUTION OF GASTROCHAENA, ROCELLARIA, AND LAMYCHAENA (MOLLUSCA, BIVALVIA, GASTROCHAENOIDEA)
|
ABSTRACT-
The specimens of Gastrochaena cuneiformis Spengler, 1783, with Spengler-written labels at the Zoologisk Museum, Copenhagen, did not come from Spengler's type locality in the Nicobar Islands, and may instead be syntypes of Chemnitz's (1788) West Indies "Pholas hians". The identity of Gastrochaena cuneiformis as a senior synonym of Gastrochaena gigantea (Deshayes, 1830) is established on the basis of Spengler's original descriptions and illustrations, and by examination of spec...

Were there pack-hunting canids in the Tertiary, and how can we know?
Paleobiology
; Abstract.-Communal hunting allows some modern canids to catch large and powerful prey. As opposed to felids, for example, Recent canids have a limited ability to grapple and subdue prey by using their forelimbs. Instead, they engage in sustained pursuit predation and the success rate during this

Shell morphology, shell texture and species discrimination of Caribbean Tucetona (bivalvia, glycymeridae)
Journal of Paleontology
; ABSTRACT-Previous descriptions of Tucetona lack a consistent system using diagnostic characters and only two recent Caribbean 'species' are recognized. In this study, textural and structural features of the Tucetona shell are examined and used as the basis for comparison to other glycymerids and in
