Intertidal biodiversity hotspot strikes again: first record of Caliphylla mediterranea A. Costa, 1867 (Mollusca, Sacoglossa) in the Adriatic Sea, Italy [PDF]
Check ListThe Mediterranean Sea is considered a hotspot of molluscan diversity even if many marine environments are still poorly explored and could mask rare and/or neglected diversity.

Natural History Sciences, 2023 The present note documents the finding of two species of marine heterobranch seaslugs along the central-eastern coast of Sicily (Italy, central Mediterranean): the sacoglossan Calliopaea bellula and the nudibranch Tayuva lilacina. These two species show

Primary Productivity and Habitat Depth Shape Developmental Mode in European Marine Gastropods
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Thorson's rule suggests that marine gastropods in colder, high‐latitude regions tend to have non‐pelagic (non‐drifting) larval development. However, this study on 94 European gastropod species found that the rule disappears when examined at finer spatial scales, with temperature and phylogeny having little influence.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We reconstructed the speciation history of the recently split pseudocryptic nudibranch genus Hermissenda, finding divergence times in the Pleistocene (1.29–0.55 mya). Demographic modeling and behavioral experiments show no gene flow and assortative mating between sympatric species H. crassicornis (s.s.) and H.

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract We describe the Hettangian Caenogastropoda and Heterobranchia of the Luxembourg Sandstone Formation, a wedge of clastic sediments deposited along the eastern margin of Paris Basin during the Early Jurassic. Five new genera and 11 new species are erected: Bourguetia bipartita sp. nov., Globularia delsatei sp. nov., Oonia feidtorum sp.

The Model Organism Hermissenda crassicornis (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) Is a Species Complex
PLOS ONE, 2016 Hermissenda crassicornis is a model organism used in various fields of research including neurology, ecology, pharmacology, and toxicology. In order to investigate the systematics of this species and the presence of cryptic species in H. crassicornis, we conducted a comprehensive molecular and morphological analysis of this species covering its entire ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Ultraconserved elements (UCEs) have become a powerful tool for phylogenomics, but probe sets optimized for one lineage often perform inconsistently when applied in others. Here, we designed and tested new UCE probe sets derived from both genome and transcriptome data of an understudied molluscan class, Polyplacophora (chitons).
