The Mediterranean Sea is a hot spot for marine biodiversity, and this is particularly evident taking into consideration the diversity observed in many animal groups, among them the Molluscs.

On being the right size as an animal with plastids [PDF]
Plastids typically reside in plant or algal cells—with one notable exception. There is one group of multicellular animals, sea slugs in the order Sacoglossa, members of which feed on siphonaceous algae.

Multiple Trophic Levels in Soft-Bottom Communities
In order to assess the general applicability of recent field experiments with predatory infauna, we searched the literature and found 48 well-documented cases of infaunal consumption by such predators.

AbstractRecent studies have revealed significant hidden diversity and a high incidence of cryptic speciation in Antarctic marine gastropods. Originally, philinoid cephalaspideans in the Southern Ocean were classified within the genus Philine. However, molecular and morphological studies have shown that three genera encompass all known diversity instead.

Fast evolving 18S rRNA sequences from Solenogastres (Mollusca) resist standard PCR amplification and give new insights into mollusk substitution rate heterogeneity [PDF]
Background: The 18S rRNA gene is one of the most important molecular markers, used in diverse applications such as molecular phylogenetic analyses and biodiversity screening.

It is here presented the first faunistic list of the marine Heterobranchia fauna of Lipari and Vulcano, the two southernmost islands of the Aeolian archipelago. Through the examination of ten dive sites (six in Lipari and four in Vulcano), it was found a total of 30 marine Heterobranchia species (1 Rhodopoidea, 1 Pleurobranchida, 21 Nudibranchia, 1 ...

How the mollusc got its scales: convergent evolution of the molluscan scleritome [PDF]
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
