Distribution patterns of gastropods and bivalves at the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico
Ciencias Marinas, 2021 Records of 298 molluscs species (99 bivalves and 199 gastropods) from 33 localities along the shoreline and the corals reef of the Yucatán peninsula, were analized in terms of their geographic range of the information content and species richness. Coral

Mitogenomics of Perumytilus purpuratus (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) and its implications for doubly uniparental inheritance of mitochondria [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Animal mitochondria are usually inherited through the maternal lineage. The exceptional system allowing fathers to transmit their mitochondria to the offspring exists in some bivalves.

Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 444-461, June 2026.Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 128-161, April 2026.ABSTRACT Shell middens in Gippsland along the eastern half of Victoria's coastline have usually been characterised as small, short‐duration camp sites with relatively low shell densities and low taxonomic diversity. Here we present new excavation results from a dense, high‐diversity site at Red Bluff near the eastern end of GunaiKurnai Country, a ...

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.Perna viridis is an invasive mussel species recently introduced to the southeastern coast of Brazil, where it coexists with the native Perna perna. Morphological similarity between these species, particularly in early life stages, has led to frequent misidentifications, compromising ecological assessments and management efforts.

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT Research using natural history collections to track anthropogenic activities has recently been on the rise. Natural history collections have been utilised beyond their traditional taxonomic and systematic roles, generating data that shape present and future research.

Latitudinal variation and plasticity in response to temperature in Geukensia demissa
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 As global temperatures warm, species must adapt to a changing climate or transition to a different location suitable for their survival. Understanding the extent to which species are able to do so, particularly keystone species, is imperative to ensuring
