Museum studies We examined 14 museum malacological collections in search of specimens of L. alveus. For systematic purposes and for trophic analyses, we studied radulae of alcohol preserved and rehydrated specimens of L. alveus. as well as radulae of L. alveus parallela and illustrations of the radula of L. alveus angusta. These collections are located in the following museums (abbreviations are given for museums cited later in the text): Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia (ANSP); American Museum of Natural History, New York; British Columbia Provincial Museum, Victoria (BCPM); Cali- fornia Academy of Sciences, San Francisco; Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History; Museum of Com- parative Zoology, Harvard University (MCZ); Museum of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley; Na- tional Museums of Canada, Ottawa; New York State Mu- seum, Albany (NYSM); Natural History Museum, Lon- don [formerly British Museum (Natural History)]; Nova Scotia Museum, Halifax; Santa Barbara Museum of Nat- ural History. Santa Barbara, California; United States Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution. Washington, DC (USNM); University of Alaska Museum, Fairbanks (UAM). In addition, a number of major United States herbar- ium collections of the eelgrass Zostera marina from North America were examined in an independent study on eel- grass wasting diseases by F. Short, who has provided us with his records of dried limpets found on herbarium sheets. Results Systematics and biogeogr
