Molluscan Shells, Spicules, and Gladii Are Evolutionarily Deeply Conserved. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Exp Zool B Mol Dev Evol
Evolutionarily conserved transcription factor encoding genes and other genes are expressed in the epithelia that give rise to spicules (green) and/or shells (blue) in developmental stages of diverse mollusks, including polyplacophorans, aplacophorans, scaphopods, and cephalopods.

A new Miocene deep-sea chiton and early evidence for Teredinidae-sustained wood-fall communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Deep-sea wood-falls are important biodiversity hot spots for insights on chemosynthesis-based communities. The study of deep-sea wood-fall-related palaeocommunities from the Neogene of north Italy shed light on interesting associations from the Miocene ...

The Continuing Debate on Deep Molluscan Phylogeny: Evidence for Serialia (Mollusca, Monoplacophora + Polyplacophora) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Molluscs are a diverse animal phylum with a formidable fossil record. Although there is little doubt about the monophyly of the eight extant classes, relationships between these groups are controversial.

Life history, patchy distribution, and patchy taxonomy in a shallow-water invertebrate (Mollusca Polyplacophora: Lepidopleurida) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Things without names are difficult to rationalise, and so species that go without names are difficult to conserve or protect. This is a case study in resolving conflicts in historical taxonomy and ‘real’ species (identifiable and evolutionarily relevant ...
