Re-evaluating the case for poecilogony in the gastropod Planaxis sulcatus (Cerithioidea, Planaxidae) [PDF]
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Background Planaxis sulcatus has been touted as a textbook example of poecilogony, with members of this wide-ranging Indo-Pacific marine gastropod said to produce free-swimming veligers as well as brooded juveniles.

De novo assembly of transcriptomes of six Hua species (Semisulcospiridae, Cerithioidea, Gastropoda) [PDF]
Scientific DataSpecies in Semisulcospiridae are important in freshwater ecology and have great research value, yet their genomic resources remain very limited. Here, we present de novo assembled transcriptomes from six species of Hua in Semisulcospiridae, including Hua

Sequencing of the complete mitochondrial genomes of eight freshwater snail species exposes pervasive paraphyly within the Viviparidae family (Caenogastropoda). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Phylogenetic relationships among snails (Caenogastropoda) are still unresolved, and many taxonomic categories remain non-monophyletic. Paraphyly has been reported within a large family of freshwater snails, Viviparidae, where the taxonomic status of ...

Prodigious polyphyly in Pleuroceridae (Gastropoda: Cerithioidea)
Bulletin of the Society of Systematic Biologists, 2022 Phylogenomic studies with hundreds or thousands of loci are rare for most invertebrate groups, including freshwater gastropods. This can prevent understanding of phylogeny, which hinders many areas of research. Pleuroceridae is a family of freshwater snails that is highly imperiled and plays an essential role in the ecology of many freshwater systems ...

Re‐assessing regional chronologies for island southeast Asian voyaging to Aboriginal Australia
Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 58, Issue 3, Page 245-274, October 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT According to written histories, trepang fishers from Island Southeast Asia (“Makassans”) frequented coastal northern Australia from c.1750 to 1907 CE. Yolŋu oral traditions and old Austronesian borrow words in coastal Aboriginal languages suggest a long and complex history of foreign voyaging to northern Australia.
