Abstract
The front cover images on this issue of Molluscan Research show the trochid Ethminolia vitiliginea (Menke, 1843), shell diameter 6.0 mm, sieved from shallow sub-littoral sand at Portarlington, southern Port Phillip Bay, Victoria (NMV F248148). It was col-lected on 1st December 2012 during fi eldwork by the Micro-Mollusc Workshop, a three-day activity of the Malacological Society of Australasia (MSA) held immediately before its triennial conference – Molluscs 2012 – in Melbourne (see Stephens 2013; Va fi adis 2013). Additional views of this same snail are shown below in Figure 1. This was the third live specimen of E . vitiliginea that I have seen, the others being from Portarlington 2007) and Clifton Springs (in 2011), both of which are shown in Figure 2.
期刊介绍:
Molluscan Research is an international journal for the publication of authoritative papers and review articles on all aspects of molluscan research, including biology, systematics, morphology, physiology, ecology, conservation, biogeography, genetics, molecular biology and palaeontology.
While the scope of the journal is worldwide, there is emphasis on studies relating to Australasia and the Indo-west Pacific, including East and South East Asia. The journal’s scope includes revisionary papers, monographs, reviews, theoretical papers and briefer communications. Monographic studies of up to 73 printed pages may also be considered.
The journal has been published since 1957 (as the Journal of the Malacological Society of Australia until 1993). It is free to members of the Malacological Society of Australasia and the Society for the Study of Molluscan Diversity.
