The Evolution of Giant Clam Science: From Foundational Studies to Emerging Frontiers
Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.This review synthesizes nearly two centuries of giant clam research, identifying dominant themes, knowledge gaps, and emerging opportunities. Ecology, physiology, aquaculture, genomics, and biomineralization dominate the field, whereas anatomy and biotechnology remain underexplored. Future progress requires stronger integration of genomics, physiology,

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 970-1002, April 2026.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 ...
