Caldicochlea
''Caldicochlea'' is a genus of freshwater molluscs in the family, Tateidae, endemic to the mound springs of the Great Artesian Basin. MolluscaBase eds. (2022). MolluscaBase. Caldicochlea Ponder, 1997. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=1057327 on 2022-08-13 The genus name was published in 1997 by Winston Ponder to replace the preoccupied name ''Dalhousia'' given in 1996 to this genus by Ponder, Colgan, Terzis, Clark & Miller. The name derives from the Latin: ''caldus'' (warm, hot - referring to the hot spring habitat) and ''cochlea'' (snail). Species of this genus are found at Dalhousie Springs in large warm (33-42°C) pools or warm outflows and in the shallow spring edges on rocks and wood. There are two species of snail in this genus: *''Caldicochlea globosa'' *''Caldicochlea harrisi ''Caldicochlea harrisi'' is a species of freshwater mollusc in the family, Tateidae, MolluscaBase eds.

Winston Ponder
Winston Frank Ponder (born 1941) is a noted malacologist born and educated in New Zealand who has named and described many marine and freshwater animals, especially micromolluscs. Education and career Ponder graduated with an MSc, PhD (1968) and DSc from the University of Auckland, New Zealand. He completed his Ph.D while working at the Dominion Museum but by 1969 he had taken a position at the Australian Museum, where he has remained. Ponder was the principal research scientist in the malacology section of the Australian Museum, Sydney, Australia and helped to build up the museum's mollusc collection so that it became one of the most extensive of its kind in the world. Ponder retired from this post after a long career of more than forty years of research on molluscs, and is now an Honorary Fellow of the museum. He has been the president of the Society of Australian Systematic Biologists, and was the managing editor of the journal ''Molluscan Research'' of the Malacological ...

Great Artesian Basin
The Great Artesian Basin (GAB), located in Australia, is the largest and deepest artesian basin in the world, stretching over , with measured water temperatures ranging from . The basin provides the only source of fresh water through much of inland Australia. The Basin underlies 22% of the continent, including the states and territories of Queensland (most of), the Northern Territory (the south-east corner of), South Australia (the north-east part of), and New South Wales (northern part of). The basin is deep in places and is estimated to contain of groundwater. The Great Artesian Basin Coordinating Committee (GABCC) GABCC website coordinates activity between the various levels of government and community organisations.

Dalhousie Springs
Dalhousie Springs, also known as Witjira-Dalhousie Springs, is a group of over 60 natural artesian springs located in Witjira National Park on the western fringe of the Simpson Desert, 180 kilometres northeast of Oodnadatta in northern South Australia. They are about southeast of Alice Springs. History The springs form part of Aboriginal tradition and life in northern South Australia, being a place associated with many Dreamtime stories and songs. Evidence of large camp sites are found at the Springs, some of which are thousands of square metres in size, and there are many stone artefacts found scattered around the area. The springs were given their English name by surveyor Richard Randall Knuckey around 1870, when he was working on the Overland Telegraph Line. In 1915, the total flow rate of the Dalhousie Springs complex was over /second, but drilling had reduced this to /second by 2000. Witjira-Dalhousie Springs was added to the Australian National Heritage List in Augus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
