The temperate marine Peruvian Province: How history accounts for its unusual biota
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.Among extant temperate marine biotas, the Peruvian Province is highly unusual in, among other traits, a very high incidence of limpets, gastropods with a labral tooth (to assist in predation), a reversed latitudinal diversity gradient, and the absence of several ecological guilds.

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2024.Abstract Turban snails are targeted for their high‐quality meat and, consequently, are often subjected to heavy harvesting pressure. Managing recreational and small‐scale fisheries is challenging, partly due to a lack of biological data underpinning certain regulatory measures.

A molecular phylogenetic framework for the Ergalataxinae (Neogastropoda: Muricidae) [PDF]
Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2012 The validity of the muricid subfamily Ergalataxinae has recently been confirmed with molecular data, but its composition and the relationships among its constituent genera remain unclear. In order to investigate this, we use four genes (28S rRNA, 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) to construct a Bayesian phylogeny of 52 ergalataxine
