Synthesis of Population Trends Reveals Seascape‐Wide Reorganisation of Biodiversity From Microalgae to Birds

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 6, June 2025.
We present a systematic and quantitative analysis of population trends to capture the seascape‐wide reorganisation of biodiversity from microalgae to birds. First, we categorised population trends and found over one third of populations in the Wadden Sea to change, that is, increase or decrease.

Assessing the Molluscan Hypothesis Serialia (Monoplacophora + Polyplacophora) Using Novel Molecular Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A consensus on molluscan relationships has yet to be achieved, largely because of conflicting morphological and molecular hypotheses. Monoplacophora show marked seriality of ctenidia, atria, muscles and nephridia and this has been interpreted as ...

The Intertidal North‐South Split: Oceanographic Features and Life History Shape the Phylogeography of Chiton Acanthochitona rubrolineata

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The genetic structure and demographic history of marine organisms are shaped by a variety of factors including biological and ecological characteristics, ocean currents, and the palaeogeological effects of sea‐level fluctuations. Here we present a comprehensive method combining population genomics, laboratory experiments, and ocean modelling ...

Chitons (Mollusca, Polyplacophora) from Alacranes Reef, Yucatan, Mexico

open access: yesZooKeys, 2017
This study represents the first comprehensive chiton study from Alacranes Reef, the largest reef system in the Gulf of Mexico. Nine chiton species were found in seven localities within the area, in the intertidal and subtidal to 12 m depth.

Habitat Complexity and Substrate Age Are Primary Factors Influencing Temperate Intertidal Community Assembly

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Elucidating mechanisms underlying the formation and maintenance of communities remains a fundamental ecological question. However, the relative importance of niche and dispersal assembly might be contingent. Here, we aimed to investigate intertidal community dynamics to understand the process of community formation and maintenance ...

Aesthete Pattern Diversity in Chiton Clades (Mollusca: Polyplacophora): Balancing Sensory Structures and Strength in Valve Architecture

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 11, November 2024.
Synchrotron X‐ray μCT reveals the internal structures of chiton shells. Dense sensory channels of the aesthete network evolved from simpler vertical configurations found in Lepidopleurida to more complex, coalescing networks in Chitonida. ABSTRACT Chitons possess the most elaborate system of shell pores found in any hard‐shelled invertebrate.

Biomineralisation processes in the radula teeth of the chiton Acanthopleura hirtosa (Mollusca: Polyplacophora) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A detailed row by row investigation of major lateral tooth cusp mineralisation, together with the concomitant development of the superior epithelial tissue surrounding the teeth of the chiton Acanthopleura hirtosa has been undertaken using a combination ...
