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.

A Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly of Chiton Acanthochiton rubrolineatus (Chitonida, Polyplacophora, Mollusca) [PDF]
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 ...

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 ...

Structural Features and Mitogenome-Based Evolutionary Insights into <i>Acanthopleura loochooana</i> (Polyplacophora: Chitonidae). [PDF]
Int J Mol SciAcanthopleura loochooana is a widely distributed intertidal chiton in the northwestern Pacific, yet its mitochondrial genomic architecture and evolutionary position within Chitonidae have not been comprehensively evaluated. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of A. loochooana using next-generation sequencing.

First Paleocene Lepidozona (Mollusca: Polyplacophora: Chitonida) from Ukraine
Proceedings of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2021 A new species Lepidozona luzanovkensis sp. nov. from Paleocene deposits of Ukraine is described. This find is much earlier than the known finds from the late Eocene or Early Oligocene, which increases the age of the genus Lepidozona Pilsbry, 1892 by several million years.

Deciphering the First Mitochondrial Genome of the <i>Liolophura</i> Pilsbry, 1893 Genus: An Extensive Phylogenetic Study Within the Chitonidae Family. [PDF]
Genes (Basel)Background: The Polyplacophora class, which includes all chitons, is distinguished by its unique eight-piece interlocking armor, showcasing a vast diversity in marine environments. However, the detailed evolutionary relationships within the Chitonidae family remain largely unknown.

Removing the uncertainty of chitin structure in chitons (Mollusca: Polyplacophora: Chitonida)
Zoologischer AnzeigerChitons, also known as "living fossils", have been proposed as one of the earliest differentiated groups of molluscs. Although Polyplacophora is an ancient group of molluscs, very few studies have been conducted on the chitin of these organisms compared tobivalves, gastropods and cephalopods.

Proceedings of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2015 A new family Makarenkoplacidae and a new genus Makarenkoplax gen. nov. of Polyplacophora are described from the Lower Palaeocene and the Upper Eocene of the Ukraine. The main characters of the family and genus are: depressions between the jugal and pleurolateral areas; anterior margin of pleurolateral areas strongly reduced and anterior part of jugal ...
