A Method for Quantifying, Visualising, and Analysing Gastropod Shell Form. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Quantitative analysis of organismal form is an important component for almost every branch of biology. Although generally considered an easily-measurable structure, the quantification of gastropod shell form is still a challenge because many shells lack ...

A congruent topology for deep gastropod relationships [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019 Gastropod molluscs are among the most diverse and abundant animals in the oceans, and are successful colonizers of terrestrial and freshwater environments.

Growth and morphogenesis of the gastropod shell [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Mollusc shells are emblematic of the morphological diversity in nature. They are important models for understanding the evolution of form; they are all variations on the same basic geometrical groundplan, their shapes can be directly related

Gastropod phylogenetic torsion – arising of a class [PDF]
, 2016 In the paper the author reconsiders the problem of phylogenetic torsion, which has for more than a hundred years been a subject of interest of numerous malacologists, and is still unclear.

GASTROPOD TORSION: A TEST OF GARSTANG'S HYPOTHESIS
The Biological Bulletin, 1985 Torsion occurs in gastropod molluscs as a 180° twisting of the shell and viscera relative to the head and foot of the veliger larva. Garstang (1928, 1929) proposed, and it has since become widely accepted, that torsion functions as a larval defense by ...

Proteomic analysis of trochophore and veliger larvae development in the small abalone Haliotis diversicolor [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2017 Background Haliotis diversicolor is commercially important species. The trochophore and veliger are distinct larval stages in gastropod development. Their development involves complex morphological and physiological changes.

Israel Journal of Ecology & Evolution, 2023 We studied and found that the populations of two gastropod species in the inter-tidal zone of the Red Sea at Eilat demonstrate a predominantly dextral chirality of their shells.

Palaeontology, 2020 Exceptionally well‐preserved impressions of two bundles of bristles protrude from the apertures of small, spiral shells of Pelagiella exigua, recovered from the Kinzers Formation (Cambrian, Stage 4, ‘Olenellus Zone’, c. 512 Ma) of Pennsylvania.
