From Mud to Meat: Comparative Metabarcoding Reveals Two Different Evolutionary Paths to Carnivory in a Group of Meiofaunal Annelids

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.

Diversity of the Marine Heterobranchia Fauna at the Island of Pantelleria, Sicily Channel, Mediterranean Sea: First Contribution

open access: yes, 2023
The present study was carried out along the coasts of the Island of Pantelleria (Italy, Mediterranean Sea), a volcanic island located at the centre of the Sicily Channel. The aim was to provide the first faunistic list of the marine heterobranchs at the Pantelleria Island.

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.

Molecular Updates on the ‘Warty Dorid’ Doris verrucosa Linnaeus, 1758 (Mollusca, Nudibranchia) from the Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesDiversity
Basic and applied research reveals the importance of sea slugs as a source of new bioactive molecules or of still little-known intra/intercellular processes, mainly linked to the highly specialised defensive strategies typical of this group of shell-less

Mitochondrial Genomes of Three Melampus Species (Ellobiidae; Gastropoda)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
The mitochondrial genomes of three gastropod species from the family Ellobiidae—Melampus bidentatus, Melampus jaumei, and Melampus gundlachi—were assembled and annotated and found to have a gene order that diverges from the conserved gene order that is recovered in most genera within Ellobiidae and—more generally—within Euthyneura.

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 ...
