Does a shell matter for defence? Chemical deterrence in two cephalaspidean gastropodes with calcified shells [PDF]
, 2009 Opisthobranch molluscs show an evolutionary trend to reduce, internalize and lose the shell. Many of them base their defensive strategies on natural deterrent products and current evolutionary theory suggests that the acquisition of chemical defences ...

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2020 Cephalaspidea is an order of marine gastropods found worldwide, often in sandy or muddy habitats, which has a convoluted taxonomic history based on convergent or ill-defined morphological characters. The cephalaspidean shell-which can be external and robust, internal, or altogether absent in the adult-is of particular interest in this group, and a well-

Diversity and systematics of philinid snails (Gastropoda: Cephalaspidea) in West Africa with remarks on the biogeography of the region [PDF]
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2016 West Africa is often considered one of the least studied regions of the world concerning marine biodiversity. Knowledge about the philinid snails of the region has largely been based on shells, but shells can be insufficient to discriminate between species. In this paper, we review the diversity and revise the systematics of the West African species of
