Unusual conservation of mitochondrial gene order in Crassostrea oysters: evidence for recent speciation in Asia [PDF]
, 2010 Background Oysters are morphologically plastic and hence difficult subjects for taxonomic and evolutionary studies. It is long been suspected, based on the extraordinary species diversity observed, that Asia Pacific is the epicenter of oyster

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.

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

Gastropod classification and taxonomy [PDF]
, 2015 Gastropods are a large and highly diversified class within the phylum Mollusca. Many gastropods possess a shell whereas some are without shells. The shelled gastropods are also called univalves.

How the mollusc got its scales: convergent evolution of the molluscan scleritome [PDF]
, 2015 Radiation of dramatically disparate forms among the phylum Mollusca remains a key question in metazoan evolution, and requires careful evaluation of homology of hard parts throughout the deep fossil record. Enigmatic early Cambrian taxa such as Halkieria

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.ABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.
