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

, 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.

With a little help from DNA barcoding: investigating the diversity of Gastropoda from the Portuguese coast [PDF]

, 2016
The Gastropoda is one of the best studied classes of marine invertebrates. Yet, most species have been delimited based on morphology only. The application of DNA barcodes has shown to be greatly useful to help delimiting species.

The fossil record of freshwater Gastropoda – a global review

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 1, Page 177-199, February 2024.
ABSTRACT Gastropoda are an exceptionally successful group with a rich and diverse fossil record. They have conquered land and freshwater habitats multiple times independently and have dispersed across the entire globe. Since they are important constituents of fossil assemblages, they are often used for palaeoecological reconstruction, biostratigraphic ...

Algal cover as a driver of diversity in communities associated with mussel assemblages across eastern Pacific ecoregions

Marine Ecology, Volume 45, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract Research on intertidal mussel assemblages and associated communities has revealed that complexity and structure are influenced by environmental heterogeneity and local‐scale factors affecting recruitment. Research in situ in eastern and western Pacific intertidal ecosystems has suggested drivers of species diversity and community structure ...

The Revolution of Small Snails and the Early Modern Evolutionary Fauna

Diversity
The species richness of major clades and functional groups among gastropods, a key element of Modern Evolutionary Fauna (MEF), underlines the dominant role of carnivorous Caenogastropoda and Heterobranchia, including small ectoparasites and micrograzers,

Molecular phylogeny of the marine snail genus Haminoea (Gastropoda, Cephalaspidea): A framework to study marine diversity and speciation

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 52-77, January 2024.
Abstract Haminoea are herbivorous, coastal snails occurring in temperate and tropical waters of the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific oceans, with one species present in temperate South Africa (Indian Ocean). The genus is taxonomically difficult as several available nominal species were introduced based on shell descriptions alone, or described based on ...
