Abstract Parasitic helminths with complex life cycles require multiple hosts in a particular order to complete their life cycles. Although almost all helminths infect invertebrates at some point in their life cycle, we know very little about which species of invertebrates harbor parasites compared with what is known for vertebrates. In New Zealand, <1%

Neogastropod phylogenetic relationships based on entire mitochondrial genomes
Background The Neogastropoda is a highly diversified group of predatory marine snails (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda). Traditionally, its monophyly has been widely accepted based on several morphological synapomorphies mostly related with the digestive ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Harpovoluta charcoti (Gastropoda: Neogastropoda: Volutidae)
We report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Harpovoluta charcoti, a circum-Antarctic species of volutid gastropod inhabiting bathyal soft bottom substrates. The mitogenome is 15,487 bp in length, has a base composition of A (28.3%), T (37.3%),

Origin of the tropical–polar biodiversity contrast
Abstract Aim The aim was to investigate the evolutionary origins of the striking biodiversity contrast between high‐ and low‐latitude regions in the present day. Is this a relatively recent phenomenon, causally linked in some way to the greenhouse–icehouse transition and onset of global cooling c.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Chicoreus asianus (Neogastropoda: Muricidae) from Beibu Bay
Chicoreus asianus is an ecologically and economically important species of Muricidae, which comprises a highly diverse group of carnivorous marine snails. However, the taxonomic classification and phylogenetic studies have so far been limited.

Abstract Citizen science (CS) expands the spatial and temporal scale of alien species records. As such, it has been recognized as a complementary tool in alien species management and large‐scale biodiversity conservation. The present study assessed the contribution of CS to the recording of marine alien fishes and mollusks in European marine waters by ...

Feeding habits and novel prey of larval fishes in the northern San Francisco Estuary
We used dietary DNA metabarcoding analysis of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene to study the diets of larval fishes in the San Francisco Estuary and found a high level of overlap between the two species primarily dominated by calanoid and cyclopoid copepods.

Venomous secretions from marine snails of the Terebridae family target acetylcholine receptors [PDF]
Venoms from cone snails (Conidae) have been extensively studied during the last decades, but those from other members of the suborder Toxoglossa, such as of Terebridae and Turridae superfamilies attracted less interest so far. Here, we report the effects

Checklist of the cone shells (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Neogastropoda: Conidae) of Colombia
Among the gastropod molluscs, the family Conidae is undoubtedly one of the most unmistakable groups due to its characteristic conic shell, toxoglossan radulae and the variety of colors it usually exhibits.
