The actual and fossil distribution patterns of the aquatic gastropod genera Tryonia and Planorbarius indicate that avian dispersal was an important dispersal mechanism in the geological past. Combining the distribution histories of these genera with ecological data on modern relatives provides insights into the process of dispersal of aquatic taxa in general. Avian dispersal of aquatic taxa is facilitated by a variety of factors, including mass occurrence in resting/foraging places of migrating birds, ways to attach to the birds and to overcome desiccation during flight, as well as easy reproduction from a single specimen when introduced into a new habitat. The uncertain taxonomical status of aquatic organisms, as well as biased preservation and sampling, provide serious drawbacks for understanding the importance of aerial dispersal.  相似文献   

中国近海爱尔螺亚科九新记录(腹足纲:骨螺科)   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

张素萍 《海洋与湖沼》2007,38(6):542-548

提要为了全面了解中国沿海骨螺科(Muricidae)、爱尔螺亚科(Ergalataxinae)的物种数量、分布状况和生活习性,完成中国沿海骨螺科的系统分类学研究,采用传统的形态分类方法,对中国科学院海洋研究所历年来在我国沿海采集的骨螺科标本进行整理、分类,共鉴定出爱尔螺亚科7属,18种,其中9种为中国新记录。爱尔螺亚科主要分布于印度-西太平洋暖海区,通常栖息于潮间带至浅海水深5—200m左右的岩礁、沙、泥沙或砂砾质海底。作者依据Houart等(1995,2004)报道的分类方法,对我国沿海分布的爱尔螺亚科部分归属及种名使用混乱的种,如珠母爱尔螺Ergalatax margariticola、黄口帕斯螺Pascula ochrostoma、筐格螺Muricodrupa fiscella等常见种重新分类,分别将其归属于爱尔螺属(Ergalatax)、帕斯螺属(Pascula)和格螺属(Muricodrupa)。  相似文献
