Comparative immunogenomics of molluscs [PDF]
Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2017 Comparative immunology, studying both vertebrates and invertebrates, provided the earliest descriptions of phagocytosis as a general immune mechanism. However, the large scale of animal diversity challenges all-inclusive investigations and the field of immunology has developed by mostly emphasizing study of a few vertebrate species.

Sexual selection gradients change over time in a simultaneous hermaphrodite
eLife, 2017 Sexual selection is generally predicted to act more strongly on males than on females. The Darwin-Bateman paradigm predicts that this should also hold for hermaphrodites.

Nitric oxide is not a negative regulator of metamorphic induction in the abalone Haliotis asinina
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014 Nitric oxide (NO) is a second messenger molecule synthesized by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS) that requires the molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) for normal enzymatic activity.

Predicting the Response of Molluscs to the Impact of Ocean Acidification
Biology, 2013 Elevations in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) are anticipated to acidify oceans because of fundamental changes in ocean chemistry created by CO2 absorption from the atmosphere.
