Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in
virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry …

1985; Signor 1985), accelerating during the Cretaceous with the radiation of neogastropods
and other predatory gastropods (Sohl 1964; Taylor et al. 1980), suggesting that diet and …

The systematics, classification and phylogeny of the Caenogastropoda are revised based on
an analysis of the morphology of representatives of all branches. The basis of this work is …

The gastropod family Eulimidae has attracted considerable attention as one of the most
diverse groups of parasitic molluscs in terms of number of species and ranges of body plans …

Although calyptraeid gastropods are not well understood taxonomically, in part because
their simple plastic shells are the primary taxonomic character, they provide an ideal system …

Abstract The Neogastropoda (Mollusca, Gastropoda) encompass more than 15,000
described species of marine predators, including several model organisms in toxinology …

The limpet form–a cap-shaped or slipper-shaped univalved shell–convergently evolved in
many gastropod lineages, but questions remain about when, how often, and under which …

Calyptraeid gastropods are well know for the taxonomic difficulties caused by their simple,
phenotypically variable shells. In this paper I demonstrate that what was previously …

Organismal taxonomy is often based on a single or a small number of morphological
characters. When they are morphologically simple or known to be plastic, we may not have …

The phylogenetic position of Haloceratidae, a little-known family of the subclass
Caenogastropoda, is contested due to its extreme rarity in bathyal waters worldwide (c. 800 …
