Morphological Adaptations for Shell Anchoring in Calcinus tibicen: Insights From µCT Imaging, Histology and Scanning Electron Microscopy. [PDF]

J Morphol
ABSTRACT Hermit crabs rely on external shells for protection due to their non‐calcified pleons. This study focuses on the anatomical features and functional roles of various appendages in Calcinus tibicen to understand their mechanisms for shell anchoring.

Peptide GTSFTTTAER From <i>Rapana venosa</i> Alleviates TNBS-Induced Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a Zebrafish Model via Multi-Pathway Regulation. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
The peptide GTSFTTTAER from Rapana venosa significantly alleviates intestinal inflammation in a zebrafish model of TNBS‐induced inflammatory bowel disease by reducing immune cell infiltration and enhancing intestinal motility. Transcriptome and molecular docking analyses reveal that GTSFTTTAER's protective effects are mediated through Toll‐like ...

Predator‐induced defences under tropicalisation: A biogeographic approach

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 12, Page 2148-2159, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim The biogeography of predator‐induced defences is an understudied area of predator–prey dynamics. Range overlap with predators that induce the response and local demographics (e.g., prey abundances) are likely to be important factors for determining the biogeographic distribution of induced defences within species.

Protein and chitin preservation in polymeric sheets in Miocene Ecphora gardnerae shells from Maryland, USA [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
The shells of muricoid gastropod Ecphora gardnerae from the Miocene St. Marys Formation of Maryland, USA, have been shown to contain polymeric sheets within the calcareous matrix. These membranes were found to have amino acids and complex sugar compounds.

Target‐capture probes for phylogenomics of the Caenogastropoda

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1372-1388, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Target‐capture approaches have facilitated a rapid growth in the field of phylogenomics but few probe sets exist for molluscs, an exceptionally rich phylum with unparalleled ecological and morphological diversity. We designed and tested the first universal probe set using Phyluce to capture ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and exon loci from the
