Complete mitochondrial genomes of two scaphopod molluscs [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 Complete mitochondrial genomes were determined for two scaphopod molluscs: the dentaliid Antalis entalis and an unidentified Antarctic gadilid. Both genomes are complete except, in Gadilida sp.

Comparative Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals Novel Genes Involved in Bivalve Embryonic Shell Formation and Questions Ontogenetic Homology of Molluscan Shell Types [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Mollusks are known for their highly diverse repertoire of body plans that often includes external armor in form of mineralized hardparts. Representatives of the Conchifera, one of the two major lineages that comprises taxa which originated from a uni ...

A systematic review of animal predation creating pierced shells: implications for the archaeological record of the Old World [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background The shells of molluscs survive well in many sedimentary contexts and yield information about the diet of prehistoric humans. They also yield evidence of symbolic behaviours through their use as beads for body adornments.

Macrobenthic communities of the continental shelf of Heraklion Bay (Crete, Greece): bathymetric distribution and temporal trends [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalThe Gulf of Heraklion is one of the most well-studied coastal marine ecosystems in the eastern Mediterranean. It is an oligotrophic area, exposed to wave action where muddy sediments prevail and its coastal zone is relatively unaffected by major riverine

Non-collinear Hox gene expression in bivalves and the evolution of morphological novelties in mollusks [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Hox genes are key developmental regulators that are involved in establishing morphological features during animal ontogeny. They are commonly expressed along the anterior–posterior axis in a staggered, or collinear, fashion.
