Tekanan lingkungan yang disebabkan dari okupasi lahan, alih fungsi dan tingginya laju abrasi telah dialami oleh Hutan Mangrove Muara Gembong selama bertahun-tahun. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi data awal tentang struktur komposisi vegetasi mangrove gastropoda serta hubungan keduanya terhadap kondisi diteliti di garis pantai Desa Pantai Bahagia sebagai landasan evaluasi perubahan t...

The mangrove ecosystem is an that significantly contributes to the availability of organic detritus, which plays essential role as a source energy for biota living in surrounding waters. condition forest Sungai Nilam Village natural forest, and there no exceptional management by local community. also habitat gastropods are often used community food consumption. One biotas inhabit forests Gastro...

Gastropoda adalah biota air yang banyak hidup di daerah intertidal seperti lamun. Peran gastropoda yaitu sebagai komponen rantai makanan dan merupakan herbivora atau detritivora memakan bahan organik busuk Data terkait keberadaan masih terbatas belum mendapatkan perhatian sehingga diperlukan penelitian untuk upaya konservasi. Tujuan ini mengetahui struktur komunitas, kemelimpahan, asosiasi pada...

A year-long research on the Mugil cephalus and M. curema diet was conducted. The food content in the cardiac portion of 192 stomachs revealed a great similarity in both species leading to two conclusions: sediments are their basic food and high levels of benthic diatoms are dominant. A total of 130 taxa were found (Nitzschia, Navicula, Amphora, and Cocconeis dominated). Other food components we...

The aims of the study are to determine what organisms Barbus cyclolepis consume as food in its feeding environments and compare prey consumption with abundance environment. was conducted Istranca Stream located Istanbul (Turkey) during spring summer 2012. A total 142 B. specimens were captured it is determined that 94 them had full digestive tracts. Diet analyses showed spectrum consisted 11 di...

Recent studies on phylogenetic relationships within the molluscan class Gastropoda have involved morphological (Kay et al., 1998), ultrastructural (Healy, 1996), and molecular (e.g., Lydeard et al., 2002; McArthur and Koop, 1999) approaches. These investigations have provided new insights into gastropod affinities and classification and have enabled a vigorous testing of taxonomic schemes for t...

X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), were applied to analyze the organic matrix of two Molluscan shells. The Mollusca shells are mineral structure and calcium carbonate crystallized as aragonite. The FT-IR spectra showed Alkyl Halide, Alkanes, Alcohols, Amides, Aromatic, and Hydroxyl ...

We give the results from the first investigation focused on the land snail fauna in Srebarna Nature Reserve in Bulgaria. A total of 23 localities were studied and 27 species of terrestrial gastropods were found, 23 of which were new observations for the Reserve.
