Morphological Traits of the Radula in Viviparidae (Mollusca, Caenogastropoda) as a Master Key to Discrimination of Closely Related Species
The radula morphology and variability in four European species of the family Viviparidae viz. Viviparus viviparus (Linnaeus, 1758), V. sphaeridius (Bourguignat, 1880), V. ater (Cristofori et Jan, 1832) and Contectiana listeri (Forbes et Hanley, 1853) were examined using scanning electron microscopy...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | The radula morphology and variability in four European species of the family Viviparidae viz. Viviparus viviparus (Linnaeus, 1758), V. sphaeridius (Bourguignat, 1880), V. ater (Cristofori et Jan, 1832) and Contectiana listeri (Forbes et Hanley, 1853) were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Statistical methods reveal a certain value of rachidian tooth dimensional parameters as an efficient tool for taxonomy and discrimination of closely related species of the family.
С использованием сканирующей электронной микроскопии (СЭМ) изучены морфологические особенности и изменчивость радулы у четырех европейских видов семейства Viviparidae: Viviparus viviparus (Linnaeus, 1758), V. sphaeridius (Bourguignat, 1880), V. ater (Cristofori et Jan, 1832), а также Contectiana listeri (Forbes et Hanley, 1853). Статистическими методами показана возможность использования некоторых размерных характеристик рахидального зуба для эффективной диагностики близких видов Viviparidae и систематики семейства.
