Target‐capture probes for phylogenomics of the Caenogastropoda
Abstract Target‐capture approaches have facilitated a rapid growth in the field of phylogenomics but few probe sets exist for molluscs, an exceptionally rich phylum with unparalleled ecological and morphological diversity. We designed and tested the first universal probe set using Phyluce to capture ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and exon loci from the

Origin of the tropical–polar biodiversity contrast
Abstract Aim The aim was to investigate the evolutionary origins of the striking biodiversity contrast between high‐ and low‐latitude regions in the present day. Is this a relatively recent phenomenon, causally linked in some way to the greenhouse–icehouse transition and onset of global cooling c.

Going with the flow? Diversification of gastropods reflects drainage evolution in Africa
Abstract Aim The roles of geodynamics, climatic variability and landscape evolution in shaping aquatic biodiversity patterns on the African continent remain poorly understood. We studied the geographical origin and phylogenetic relationships of an Afrotropical freshwater snail genus to examine the role of drainage evolution on diversification and range

The complete mitochondrial genome of the viviparous freshwater snail <i>Tylomelania sarasinorum</i> (Caenogastropoda: Cerithioidea). [PDF]
Here, we present the first complete mitochondrial genome within the gastropod family Pachychilidae, using the viviparous freshwater snail Tylomelania sarasinorum. This species is a representative member of the lacustrine Tylomelania radiations of the Malili-Lakes-System (Sulawesi, Indonesia). The mitochondrial genome was 16,632 bp long and contained 13

Cassiopid gastropods from the cretaceous of Western Serbia [PDF]
Three species of Cassiopidae (Cerithioidea, Gastropoda) are described from outcrops in the vicinity of the villages Rastište and Mokra Gora in western Serbia. They occur in marly limestones of near shore shallow water deposits.

Systematic relationships of Chinese freshwater semisulcospirids (Gastropoda, Cerithioidea) revealed by mitochondrial sequences. [PDF]
The systematics of Semisulcospiridae in China is revised here based on morphological characters and mitochondrial phylogenetics. Phylogenetic relationships within the Chinese semisulcospirids were assessed via DNA sequences from mitochondrial analysis (cytochrome c oxidase I and 16S rRNA).

Melanopsidae (Caenogastropoda: Cerithioidea) from the eastern Mediterranean: another case of morphostatic speciation [PDF]
AbstractMelanopsidae were collected from 23 localities in central and south-eastern Europe, the Aegean Islands and Israel. This study considered Melanopsis from the Aegean Islands, the Peloponnese and Israel, and Esperiana esperi, Holandriana holandrii and Microcolpia from continental Europe.

Survey of Stenomelania Fisher, 1885 (Cerithioidea, Thiaridae): The potential of trematode infections in a newly-recorded snail genus at the coast of Andaman Sea, South Thailand [PDF]
Stenomelania snails (Fisher 1885) have been reported from the coastal regions of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, spanning India to Australia. Here, the species diversity and distribution of these snails in the south of Thailand are recorded.
