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

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

Species richness and biogeographical affinities of the marine molluscs from Bahía de Chamela, Mexico [PDF]
For more than 10 years (2007-2018), the benthic macroinvertebrates of Bahía de Chamela (Mexican Pacific) were sampled at 31 sites (0-25 m depth). A total of 308 species of the five main classes of benthic molluscs were obtained (106 bivalves, 185 ...

New or Incompletely Known Species of Feltria from North America (Acarina: Feltriidae) [PDF]
The genus Feltria has a widespread Holarctic distribution. A few species (Lundblad, 1941, 1969) have also been reported from northern Burma but this latter area. as far as its water mite fauna is concerned, might better be considered part of the southern

By using an integrated morphological and genetic approach, we validated eDNA and zooplankton metabarcoding as a holistic approach to reliably identify marine metazoan fauna in highly dynamic waters of the North Sea. COI metabarcoding outperformed 18S V4 metabarcoding in terms of the number of detected species.

Foraging on sand particles: Coatings of soft radular teeth (Paludomidae, Gastropoda, Mollusca)
Abstract The radula is the ingesta‐gathering structure in Mollusca. As interface, it has to perform various tasks without functional deterioration caused by wear. Wear prevention is well investigated in mollusks that forage on rocks and that generate high punctual pressure with their hard teeth, which contain high inorganic contents at their tips.
