Demographic Models and Behavioral Assessments Uncover Distinct Species Histories in the Pseudocryptic Nudibranch Genus <i>Hermissenda</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe 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.

Diversity, 2022 The Mediterranean Sea diversity is still far from being fully disclosed. Marine Heterobranchia are one of the most paradigmatic species-rich groups, with many recent systematic studies revealing the high density of new, cryptic, and endemic species ...

Acta Musei Silesiae, Scientiae Naturales, 2023 Abstract In this paper six heterobranch mollusc species are reported for the first time for Bosnia and Herzegovina: Berthellina edwardsi (Vayssiere, 1896), Felimida luteorosea (Rapp, 1827), Thuridilla hopei

Assessment of mitochondrial genomes for heterobranch gastropod phylogenetics
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background Heterobranchia is a diverse clade of marine, freshwater, and terrestrial gastropod molluscs. It includes such disparate taxa as nudibranchs, sea hares, bubble snails, pulmonate land snails and slugs, and a number of (mostly small-bodied ...

Diel activity correlates with colour pattern morphology of heterobranch sea slugs. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThe authors show that daytime activity fundamentally shapes the appearance of prey animals to potential predators and that colour pattern phenotypes likely associated with visual signalling are predominantly found in diurnal species of sea slugs. This study showcases novel methodology combining comparative phylogenetic analyses, animal vision modelling,

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

Late Jurassic (Upper Kimmeridgian) Heterobranchia (Gastropoda) of the coral-facies of Saal near Kelheim and the viciniy of Nattheim (Germany) [PDF]
Zitteliana, 2022 Forty gastropod species of the subclass Heterobranchia are described from the Upper Jurassic (Upper Kimmeridgian) reefal limestones of South Germany, including ten species in open nomenclature and further ten species of uncertain identity.

Evaluating Probe Design for Phylogenomics Across Taxonomic Scales: First Steps for Applying Ultraconserved Elements in an Understudied Class (Mollusca: Polyplacophora). [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT 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).
