Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2023 The snail Trochita trochiformis is a mollusk captured on the coasts of Jalisco and Guerrero of the Mexican Pacific. Despite its importance in artisanal fisheries, information on its population parameters is still being determined. This research aimed to determine the diameter-weight relationship, sex ratio, cohorts, and growth of this species ...

Large‐Scale Environmental Drivers of Kelp Biofouling Based on Literature Data
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 2, March 2025.Our findings from data compiled from a systematic literature review and databases of marine data show that kelp biofouling species are linked to environmental conditions and specifically temperature for bryozoans, salinity for gastropods, and the type of kelp population (wild vs. not wild) for hydrozoans.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 12, June 2024.Abstract Coastal areas host a major part of marine biodiversity but are seriously threatened by ever‐increasing human pressures. Transforming natural coastlines into urban seascapes through habitat artificialization may result in loss of biodiversity and key ecosystem functions.

Journal of Marine Sciences, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 The sessile suspension‐feeding wormsnail Dendropoma maxima, Sowerby 1825 (Vermetidae) secretes a mucus net to capture planktonic prey. The nets are spread out over the corals and often have remarkable deleterious effects on them like changes in growth form and pigmentation shifts not uncommonly resulting in tissue necrosis.

The evolutionary history and ecological adaptation of Capulus danieli (Littorinimorpha, Capulidae) [PDF]
Capulus danieli, a distinct member of Capulidae, with a limpet-shaped shell, exhibits a unique ecological behaviour by attaching and drilling onto the shells of scallops, distinguishing itself from other members of the gastropod class, offering a compelling case for evolutionary and ecological study. This ...

Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2023 ABSTRACTThe gastropod radula is highly diverse in structure in comparison with that of other mollusсs. The main radular types in the different phylogenetic groups of gastropods differ not only in the general morphology and configuration of the teeth but also in the mode of tooth synthesis and the ultrastructure of the formation zone.

Littorinid fauna of Xiamen, China (Gastropoda, Littorinimorpha)
Abstract: Littorinidae exhibits remarkable diversity in intertidal and subtidal zones worldwide, with many species closely associated with mangrove ecosystems. In recent years, the taxonomy of littorinids in the western Pacific has undergone substantial revisions through integrative studies of morphology, molecular phylogenetics, and ecological ...
