Molluscs [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2012
SummaryPeople often associate the animal phylum ‘Mollusca’ with their most species-rich or popular subgroups: gastropods (snails, whelks, slugs, and limpets), bivalves (mussels and clams), and cephalopods (the pearl boat Nautilus, sepias, squids and octopuses, and the many fossil ammonites and belemnites).

Using self–organizing maps and machine learning models to assess mollusc community structure in relation to physicochemical variables in a West Africa river–estuary system

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
The poor understanding of changes in mollusc ecology along rivers, especially in West Africa, hampers the implementation of management measures. We used a self–organizing map, indicator species analysis, linear discriminant analysis and a random forest ...

Mollusc N-glycosylation: Structures, Functions and Perspectives

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Molluscs display a sophisticated N-glycan pattern on their proteins, which is, in terms of involved structural features, even more diverse than that of vertebrates. This review summarises the current knowledge of mollusc N-glycan structures, with a focus

Using molluscs to assess ecological quality status of soft-bottom habitats along the Atlantic coastline of the United States

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
AMBI and M-AMBI are widely used biotic indices for assessing the ecological quality status of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in estuarine and coastal soft-bottom habitats.

Extreme cold events reduce the stability of mangrove soil mollusc community biomass in the context of climate impact

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2021
The frequency and intensity of climate extreme events are expected to increase with global warming in the future. Climate extreme events, such as an extreme cold event (ECE) will continue to influence the stability of soil fauna community biomass, since ...

Malakofauna navrhované NPR Obírka-Kopánky a okolí [PDF]

open access: yesMalacologica Bohemoslovaca, 2017
Altogether, 77 mollusc species were recorded in the proposed Obírka-Kopánky National Nature Reserve (North Moravia, Czech Republic) during 2010–2016. Mollusc species diversity in forest habitats was equal to that reported from the study area 85 years ago.

Integrated taxonomy reveals new threatened freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Hyriidae: Westralunio) from southwestern Australia

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The freshwater mussel Westralunio carteri (Iredale, 1934) has long been considered the sole Westralunio species in Australia, limited to the Southwest and listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List and under Australian legislation.
