the beginning of an integrated access and learning project bringing together curators
from across the museum sector. Malacological curators from Amgueddfa Cymru - National...
Several million gastropods are collected each year for the marine ornamental trade to graze on algae detrimental to aquarium species, however, little is known about popular species’ suitability to perform this clean-up crew role.

Ancey (1860-1906) was a keen land and freshwater snail collector who principally focused on snails from the Hawaiian Islands, Central Asia, North and South America, Europe and Africa. In his short life he published many new taxa and greatly contributed to the conchological community.
Following Ancey’s death, lists of his many publications and publ...
Coracuta obliquata n. gen. is recorded from Carmarthen Bay in the Bristol Channel, providing the first British record in 100 years and the first live record in British waters. Its previous generic placements are discussed and hinge structure compared with similar galeommatids. A full description of the species and of the new genus are given and a l...
This checklist illustrates and comments on the 109 species of marine bivalve currently known from Rodrigues. The fauna appears impoverished when compared to those of Mauritius, Reunion and Seychelles. Low habitat diversity is postulated as the cause of impoverishment rather than the relatively young geological age of Rodrigues. Introduction The isl...
