Discovery of protein-based natural hydrogel from the girdle of the ‘sea cockroach’ Chiton articulatus (Chitonida: Chitonidae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Hydrogels are widely used materials in biomedical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agricultural fields. However, these hydrogels are usually formed synthetically via a long and complicated process involving crosslinking natural polymers.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 7, Page 892-911, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim We studied molecular eukaryotic biodiversity patterns in shallow hard‐bottom Antarctic benthic communities using community DNA metabarcoding. Polar ecosystems are extremely exposed to climate change, and benthic macroinvertebrate communities have demonstrated rapid response to a range of natural and anthropogenic pressures.

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 268-286, June 2023., 2023 This study compares the gut contents of snapper in soft‐sediment habitats within and outside of New Zealand green‐lipped mussel farms. Snapper within mussel farms were consistently found to have consumed different prey groups compared to the control snapper. The prey groups consumed by snapper in mussel farms are likely more nutritious and therefore of

Is the Schwabe Organ a Retained Larval Eye? Anatomical and Behavioural Studies of a Novel Sense Organ in Adult Leptochiton asellus (Mollusca, Polyplacophora) Indicate Links to Larval Photoreceptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The discovery of a sensory organ, the Schwabe organ, was recently reported as a unifying feature of chitons in the order Lepidopleurida. It is a patch of pigmented tissue located on the roof of the pallial cavity, beneath the velum on either side of the ...

Invertebrate Biology, Volume 141, Issue 3, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Parasitic helminths with complex life cycles require multiple hosts in a particular order to complete their life cycles. Although almost all helminths infect invertebrates at some point in their life cycle, we know very little about which species of invertebrates harbor parasites compared with what is known for vertebrates. In New Zealand, <1%

Occurrence of chitons (Mollusca, Polyplacophora) in estuaries: first records in Brazil [PDF]
Check ListChitons are molluscs with scarce world records in estuaries. In the present study, we provide the first records of two species of Polyplacophora in the Coreaú River estuary, Camocim, Ceará, Brazil: Ischnochiton striolatus ...

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 We describe the complete mitochondrial genome of the important Polyplacophora species, Acanthochitona rubrolineatus. The mitogenome sequence of A. rubrolineatus is 14,988 bp, and all genes show the typical gene arrangement conforming to the Mollusca ...

Animals(1) Background: Chitons (Mollusca, Polyplacophora) are relatively primitive species in Mollusca that allow the study of biomineralization. Although mitochondrial genomes have been isolated from Polyplacophora, there is no genomic information at the ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Ultraconserved elements (UCEs) have become a powerful tool for phylogenomics, but probe sets optimized for one lineage often perform inconsistently when applied in others. Here, we designed and tested new UCE probe sets derived from both genome and transcriptome data of an understudied molluscan class, Polyplacophora (chitons).
