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.

Global Change Likely to Promote the Expansion of the Quagga Mussel (Dreissena bugensis) in Europe
ABSTRACT Aim Invasive aquatic species are a pressing concern for environmental managers due to their significant impacts and high eradication costs. The Ponto‐Caspian region is a notable source of aquatic invasive species, with over 40 invaders currently affecting freshwater ecosystems throughout Europe.

Biodiversity of macrozoobenthos in a large river, the Austrian Danube, including quantitative studies in a free-flowing stretch below Vienna: a short review [PDF]
The Danube is ca. 2850 km in length and is the second largest river in Europe. The Austrian part of the Danube falls 156 metres in altitude over its 351 km length and, since the early 1950s, the river has been developed into a power-generating waterway ...

Evolution of microgastropods (Ellobioidea, Carychiidae): integrating taxonomic, phylogenetic and evolutionary hypotheses [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Current biodiversity patterns are considered largely the result of past climatic and tectonic changes. In an integrative approach, we combine taxonomic and phylogenetic hypotheses to analyze temporal and geographic diversification of epigean (

Abstract The aquaculture of Argopecten purpuratus (Peruvian scallop) is a profitable activity with positive impacts on the local economy. However, the development of biofouling on the culture lantern nets generates negative environmental impacts that affect its sustainability.

Marine benthic flora and fauna of Gourdon Bay and the Dampier Peninsula in the Kimberley region of North-Western Australia [PDF]
Surveys undertaken to characterise the marine benthic habitats along the Dampier Peninsula and further south at Gourdon Bay in the Kimberley region of Western Australia were augmented with epibenthic sled sampling of soft and hard bottom habitats.

of the occurrence of neurosecretory sub? stances in axons was also made by Scharrer on Pleurobranchaea. It is now generally recognized that neurosecretory substances are formed in the cell body of a neuron and are carried by axoplasmic flow to the terminals for storage and release.

Information-theoretic signatures of biodiversity in the barcoding gene
The COI mitochondrial gene is present in all animal phyla and in a few others, and is the leading candidate for species identification through DNA barcoding.

Changes in invertebrate assemblage composition in benthic and hyporheic zones during a severe supraseasonal drought [PDF]
Droughts are unpredictable disturbances characterized in streams by declining flow, reduced habitat availability, and deteriorating abiotic conditions.
