Origin and Biogeography of the Colourful Sap‐Sucking Sea Slugs Genus Thuridilla Bergh, 1872 (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Heterobranchia)

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Thuridilla Bergh, 1872, is a lineage of herbivorous sea slugs externally distinguished by bright colours and distinctive patterns of lines and spots. Recent work revealed an exceptionally rapid, cryptic radiation of 13 species in the Indo‐Pacific, raising questions about mechanisms of speciation in this group.

The first phylogenetic study of Goniobranchus annulatus (Mollusca: Nudibranchia) in subtidal area of Chabahar, Oman Sea, Iran, based on sequence of cytochrome oxidase C subunite I gene [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Nudibranches are the largest group of Hetrerobranches, (a sub-branch of Opisthobranchia) and are widespread and cosmopolitan species. They vary in shape and colors and occur in all waters from intertidal to deep sea zones and from polar to the tropics ...

First evidence of a genetic basis for thermal adaptation in a schistosome host snail

open access: yesEcological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Freshwater snails play a key role in the transmission of schistosomiasis, a tropical parasitic disease affecting over 150 million people. Adaptation of these snails to local climatic conditions is a critical factor in determining how climate change and other environmental factors influence disease transmission dynamics, yet this potential ...

Evolution der Cephalic Sensory Organs innerhalb der Opisthobranchia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Doktorarbeit war es, die Evolution der Kopfsinnesorgane der Opisthobranchia zu rekonstruieren. Bei den Opisthobranchia handelt es sich um eine äußerst diverse Gruppe überwiegend mariner Gastropoden innerhalb der Euthyneura.

Detailed Early Life History of the Giant Muricid Snail Chicoreus ramosus in the Southern China Sea

open access: yesAquaculture Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Tropical marine life is highly diverse, but the development and utilization of many species remain insufficient. The giant muricid snail Chicoreus ramosus, notable for its large size and high‐quality meat, holds significant potential for aquaculture. Previous descriptions of its seedling production were incomplete and sometimes inaccurate.

Abundance and movement of gastropods in response to vegetation and cover in a southeastern Australian saltmarsh

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 8, August 2024.
Gastropods respond to vegetation cover and dynamically determine their choice of habitat through movement in a southeastern Australian saltmarsh. Abstract Southeast Australian saltmarshes are endangered ecological communities under threat from various anthropogenic factors including climate change.
