Checklist of the Invertebrate Animals Reported from the Region of Port Aransas, Texas [PDF]
, 1960 This checklist is of preliminary form with the hope that this will be a beginning for a more complete annotated list of the fauna and flora of this region. In many cases this list is quite obviously incomplete, however further work on the taxonomy of

Mannitol oxidase and polyol dehydrogenases in the digestive gland of gastropods: Correlations with phylogeny and diet. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Mannitol oxidase and polyol dehydrogenases are enzymes that convert polyalcohols into sugars. Mannitol oxidase was previously investigated in terrestrial snails and slugs, being also present in a few aquatic gastropods.
