An analytically derived delineation of the West African Coastal Province based on bivalves
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 12, Page 2791-2805, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim To assess the pattern of biotic regions (BR) and their boundaries, to detect chorotypes and to relate these patterns to key environmental factors. Location Eastern Atlantic Ocean. Time period Recent. Taxon studied Bivalvia. Methods Distributions were scored for 595 species. Operational geographical units are classified hierarchically using

Revision of the deep-water cone snail fauna from New Caledonia (Gastropoda, Conoidea)
European Journal of Taxonomy, 2023 The present work reviews the deep-water cone fauna of New Caledonia and its Economic Exclusive Zone. It is based on the material collected for more than 40 years by oceanographic expeditions in the deep waters surrounding New Caledonia, organized by the

Neogastropod (Mollusca, Gastropoda) phylogeny: A step forward with mitogenomes
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 550-561, September 2022., 2022 Abstract The Neogastropoda (Mollusca, Gastropoda) encompass more than 15,000 described species of marine predators, including several model organisms in toxinology, embryology and physiology. However, their phylogenetic relationships remain mostly unresolved and their classification unstable.

DNA barcoding of seven cone snail species from Red Sea coast of Egypt
Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, 2021 Cone snails are venomous predators comprising ~950 species widely distributed in different marine habitats. The production of bioactive molecules (known as conopeptides or conotoxins) marks the Conus as an utmost promising animal source for medicinal ...

Origin of the tropical–polar biodiversity contrast
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 6, Page 1207-1227, June 2022., 2022 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.

The seven ways eukaryotes produce repeated colour motifs on external tissues
Biological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 4, Page 1676-1693, August 2021., 2021 ABSTRACT The external tissues of numerous eukaryote species show repeated colour patterns, usually characterized by units that are present at least twice on the body. These dotted, striped or more complex phenotypes carry out crucial biological functions, such as partner recognition, aposematism or camouflage.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 12, Page 7518-7531, June 2021., 2021 In this paper, the mitogenome of Phymorhynchus sp. from the Haima methane seep was completely assembled and characterized. We also discussed the phylogenetic relationships and gene arrangements of the superfamily Conoidea. Furthermore, eight residues located in atp6, cox1, cytb, nad1, nad4, and nad5 genes were inferred to be positively selected sites ...
