The genome sequence of the cinereous chiton, Lepidochitona cinerea (Linnaeus, 1767) (Chitonida: Tonicellidae) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Wellcome Open ResearchWe present a genome assembly from an individual Lepidochitona cinerea (cinereous chiton; Mollusca; Polyplacophora; Chitonida; Tonicellidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 705.71 megabases.

Structural Features and Mitogenome-Based Evolutionary Insights into Acanthopleura loochooana (Polyplacophora: Chitonidae) [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular SciencesAcanthopleura 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.

A new sensory organ in "primitive" molluscs (Polyplacophora: Lepidopleurida), and its context in the nervous system of chitons. [PDF]
Front Zool, 2014 Introduction: Chitons (Polyplacophora) are molluscs considered to have a simple nervous system without cephalisation. The position of the class within Mollusca is the topic of extensive debate and neuroanatomical characters can provide new sources of ...

On Fertilization in Chaetopleura apiculata and Selected Chitonida
The Biological Bulletin, 2008 Early events of fertilization are described in Chaetopleura apiculata and other selected Chitonida. C. apiculata egg hulls are elaborated into multi-branched spines with interlocking polygonal bases. Around the perimeter of each base are a series of open pores, ranging in size from 0.1-0.5 microm, which permit sperm direct access to the vitelline layer.

A test for mucus removal in the chiton Lepidochitona cinerea (Linnaeus, 1767) (Polyplacophora: Chitonida: Ischnochitonidae) [PDF]
, 2014 Several methods have been proposed to ‘clean’ the soft tissues of molluscs of mucus, so that the surface cilia can be examined microscopically. We report the first empirical test of the effectiveness of methods for removing mucus in the pallial cavity surface of chitons.

Deciphering the First Mitochondrial Genome of the Liolophura Pilsbry, 1893 Genus: An Extensive Phylogenetic Study Within the Chitonidae Family [PDF]
GenesBackground: 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.

Comparative allometric variation in intertidal chitons (Polyplacophora: Chitonidae) [PDF]
Zoomorphology, 2017 Allometry involves the study of the relationship between size and shape of an individual, and in particular, the manner in which shape depends on size. Animals with multi-element skeletons may have differing growth allometries in different parts of the body.
