Presentation
Marine invertebrate collection
Next, the curator of the invertebrates at National Museums Scotland, Sankurie Pye, will talk about the fascinating diversity of specimens they have in their collections and why collecting these specimens is crucial for science and conservation. The National Museum Scotland are renowned worldwide for their collections, so get ready to...Pye, Sankuri

Recognising Type Specimens in a Dispersed Collection. The Macaronesian Land Mollusca Described by R. T. Lowe
A catalogue of the dispersed collection of the land snails of the Macaronesian Islands described by and attributed to R. T. Lowe is presented. The provenance of the material which relates primarily to T. V. Wollaston, his wife Edith Shepherd, Col. L. Worthington-Wilmer and H. B. Preston is discussed. Parts...Oliver, P Graham ; Klaus , Groh ; Ablett, Jonathan D ; Backeljau, Thierry ; van der Bijl, Bram …

Hydrobiidae on North Uist
One of the problems of working on lochs that are slightly saline is a group of tiny (1-4mm) molluscs called mudsnails (Hydrobiidae). The rarest of these, Hydrobia acuta neglecta, was first identified in the UK in the Uists. This project aimed to eliminate any doubt about the identity. Genetic analyses...Chevalier, M ; Pye, Sankurie E ; Porter, J ; Chambers, Susan

Dispersal mode and assessments of recovery on the shores of Gruinard, the ‘anthrax island’
Formaldehyde run-off was an unintended impact of the anthrax decontamination procedure on the island of Gruinard. The death of intertidal organisms was observed where formaldehyde reached the shore during 1986. The extent to which shores on Gruinard have recovered was assessed with survey work in 2000. Recovery estimates were based...Johnson, Mark P ; Pye, Sankurie E ; Allcock, A Louise

Uist Lagoons Survey
Scotland has around a hundred saline lagoons, coastal lochs that are not quite as saline as the sea. A small number of organisms are confined to these lochs, but most of these are very small and belong to groups that are difficult to identify. A consortium of specialists in identification...Howson, C M ; Chambers, Susan ; Pye, Sankurie E ; Ware, F J

The effects of dispersal mode on the spatial distribution patterns of intertidal molluscs
1. As many species of marine benthic invertebrates have a limited capacity for movement as adults, dispersal mode is often considered as a determinant of geographical ranges, genetic structure and evolutionary history. Species that reproduce without a larval stage can only disperse by floating or rafting. It is proposed that...Johnson, Mark P ; Allcock, A Louise ; Pye, Sankurie E ; Chambers, Susan ; Fitton, D M
