Photosensitive neurons in mollusks [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2003
In addition to regular photoreceptors, some invertebrates possess simple extra ocular photoreceptors. For ex?ample, the central ganglia of mollusks contain photosensitive neurons. These neurons are located on the dorsal surface of the ganglia and based on their electrophysiological properties it has been postulated that they are internal photoreceptors.

DNA barcoding as a valuable tool for delimiting mollusk species of the genus Biomphalaria Preston, 1910 (Gastropoda: Planorbidae)

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionThe genus Biomphalaria in Brazil includes 11 species and one subspecies, three of which are intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni. Due to the recent evolution of this group, some species are difficult to identify based on morphological ...

A critical evaluation of some of the recent so-called 'evidence' for the involvement of vertebrate-type sex steroids in the reproduction of mollusks.

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2020
Many studies on the control of reproduction in mollusks have focused on hormones (and proteins associated with the production and signaling of those hormones) which were originally discovered in humans, in the belief that if they are also present in ...

The relationship between Mollusks and Oxygen Concentrations in Todos Santos Bay, Baja California, Mexico [PDF]

, 2016
"This study describes the relationship between mollusks, physicochemical properties of seawater, and sediments under natural conditions of low impact. Thirty-nine stations were sampled in October 1994 using a Van Veen grab (0.1 m−2).

The mechanisms and factors that induce trained immunity in arthropods and mollusks

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Besides dividing the organism’s immune system into adaptive and innate immunity, it has long been thought that only adaptive immunity can establish immune memory.

Linalool induces relaxation of the mantle of golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata)

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
The objective of this study was to evaluate the possible relaxing effect of essential oils (EOs) (Aloysia triphylla and Lippia alba) and phytochemicals (citral and linalool) in the gastropod Pomacea canaliculata.
