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

Ecological 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 ...

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

Aquaculture 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.

Evolution of the Cdk4/6–Cdkn2 system in invertebrates

Genes to Cells, Volume 29, Issue 11, Page 1037-1051, November 2024.
Hypothesis on the evolution of the Cdkn2 locus. (a) Loss of Cdkn2 occurred multiple times. (b) Evolution of microsynteny at the Cdkn2 locus. Cdkn2e is a hypothetical transient gene. Abstract The cell cycle is driven by cyclin‐dependent kinases (Cdks). The decision whether the cell cycle proceeds is made during G1 phase, when Cdk4/6 functions.

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

Austral 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.

Diversity and function of fluorescent molecules in marine animals

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 4, Page 1391-1410, August 2024.
ABSTRACT Fluorescence in marine animals has mainly been studied in Cnidaria but is found in many different phyla such as Annelida, Crustacea, Mollusca, and Chordata. While many fluorescent proteins and molecules have been identified, very little information is available about the biological functions of fluorescence.

A different world: temporal changes in the community structure of sea slugs (Heterobranchia) in northwest Japan spanning more than a half-century [PDF]

PeerJ
Understanding long-term changes in marine biodiversity is essential for evaluating effects of climate change on coastal ecosystems. In this study, we compared heterobranch sea slug (hereafter referred to simply as ‘sea slugs’) assemblages in northwestern

A Middle Triassic Cassian‐type fauna (Pelsa‐Vazzoler Lagerstätte) and the adaptive radiation of the Modern evolutionary fauna

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Abstract We describe a high‐diversity silicified assemblage of marine molluscs (Pelsa‐Vazzoler Lagerstätte) from the upper Ladinian of the Agordo Dolomites (northeastern Italy). New data on the Triassic rebound, after the end‐Permian mass extinction, constrain it to an interval of relatively stable climatic conditions.
