On the origin of Acochlidia and other enigmatic euthyneuran gastropods, with implications for the systematics of Heterobranchia [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
A robust phylogenetic hypothesis of euthyneuran gastropods, as a basis to reconstructing their evolutionary history, is still hindered by several groups of aberrant, more or less worm-like slugs with unclear phylogenetic relationships. As a traditional "order" in the Opisthobranchia, the Acochlidia have a long history of controversial placements, among

Total synthesis and structural characterization of a novel protein scaffold from the snail Biomphalaria glabrata

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Disulfide‐rich miniproteins constitute compact and highly stable scaffolds of growing interest for molecular and structural engineering. Schistosomins are ~80‐residue proteins conserved across gastropods that form a long‐standing orphan family whose structure and biological roles have remained unknown.

Mediterranean Matters: Revision of the Family Onchidorididae (Mollusca, Nudibranchia) with the Description of a New Genus and a New Species

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
The Mediterranean Sea hosts a great Nudibranchia diversity and has proved to be particularly intriguing in the case of the family Onchidorididae, a group of dorid nudibranchs that lately increased its diversity with the addition of one recently described

Two Routes to Land: Genomic Underpinnings of Parallel Aerial Egg Deposition in Aquatic Old‐World Pila and New‐World Pomacea (Ampullariidae)

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 48, 28 August 2026.
Comparative genomics of Gondwana‐diverged Pila and Pomacea reveals parallel evolution of aerial oviposition. Convergent chromosomal rearrangements reshape regulatory landscapes within topologically associating domains. Lineage‐specific gene family expansions and viral‐derived perivitelline proteins (PV1) underpin desiccation resistance.

Phylogeny and evolution of the Heterobranchia (Mollusca, Gastropoda) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Many questions regarding gastropod phylogeny have not yet been answered like the molecular confirmation of the Heterobranchia concept based on morphological studies from Haszprunar (1985a; 1988).

Comparative Multi‐Marker Environmental DNA Metabarcoding of Marine Metazoan Communities: Water vs. Sediment

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the metazoan biodiversity in the Southern Adriatic Sea using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding. Sediment and adjacent water samples were collected from three sites (one pristine, two impacted by human activities) at three distances from the coast across two seasons.

Multi‐barcoding‐based species identification using a hierarchical attention network with staged curriculum learning

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1143-1160, April 2026.
Abstract DNA barcode‐based species identification has become pivotal in biodiversity research. Current barcoding‐based deep learning methods have advantages in species identification but exhibit significant limitations. By using COI barcoding alone, previous studies were unable to fully capture species identification features. Prior methods showed that

The complete mitochondrial genome of the ‘solar-powered’ sea slug Plakobranchus cf. ocellatus (Heterobranchia: Panpulmonata: Sacoglossa)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
We present the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Plakobranchus cf. ocellatus (Heterobranchia: Sacoglossa), a so-called ‘solar-powered’ sea slug with long-term retention of chloroplasts.
