A mitogenomic phylogeny of chitons (Mollusca: Polyplacophora) [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020
Background Polyplacophora, or chitons, have long fascinated malacologists for their distinct and rather conserved morphology and lifestyle compared to other mollusk classes.

The Cenozoic European Polyplacophora (Mollusca)

Zootaxa
The European Cenozoic Polyplacophora has been reviewed, with a focus on the Oligocene to Pleistocene paleontological record. Based upon literature records and institution and private collections, we have critically revised 171 taxa, 152 of which are considered taxonomically valid.

The Polyplacophora of Easter Island

, 2004
Three species of Polyplacophora are found on Easter Island: Plaxiphora inercatoris Leloup, 1936, which was the only known species for 50 years, Rapanuia disalvoi gen. & sp. nov., and Weedingia cf. mooreana Kaas, 1988. The living specimens of Rapanuia disalvoi were collected in 1984-1985, and several hundred valves in more recent years, but no ...

Evaluating Probe Design for Phylogenomics Across Taxonomic Scales: First Steps for Applying Ultraconserved Elements in an Understudied Class (Mollusca: Polyplacophora). [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Ultraconserved elements (UCEs) have become a powerful tool for phylogenomics, but probe sets optimized for one lineage often perform inconsistently when applied in others. Here, we designed and tested new UCE probe sets derived from both genome and transcriptome data of an understudied molluscan class, Polyplacophora (chitons).

An investigation into the diet of elephant fish (Callorhinchus milii) in the waters of Aotearoa/New Zealand. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract Chondrichthyans (sharks, rays and chimaeras) are increasingly understood to be an important part of ocean ecosystems, but their ecological role is unclear. Callorhinchus milii (elephant fish) is a chimaera species endemic to Aotearoa/New Zealand and southern Australian waters.

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Biodiversity and Conservation of Marine Mollusks in the Indo-Pacific Convergence Zone. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
An integrated assessment has identified 11 priority mollusk conservation areas in the Indo‐Pacific Convergence Zone, which harbor 47.9% of species and 58.9% of threatened taxa, though only 18.7% have MPA coverage. Multi‐habitat zones, such as coral–mangrove areas, support 42.3% of molluscan diversity.
