Opisthobranchia have experienced an unsettled taxonomic history. At the moment their
taxonomy is in state of dramatic flux as recent phylogenetic studies have revealed traditional …

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 …

Opisthobranch molluscs are an extremely interesting group of animals, displaying a wide
diversity in shape, colour and life strategies. Chemical ecology of this group is particularly …

This study produces a nearly comprehensive phylogeny for the marine gastropod group
Cypraeidae (cowries) and uses this topology to examine diversification patterns in the …

The present publication is a new annotated and updated checklist of the opisthobranchs
(Mollusca, Gastropoda) from the Spanish and Portuguese coasts, including their Atlantic …

Chromodorid nudibranchs (16 genera, 300+ species) are beautiful, brightly colored sea
slugs found primarily in tropical coral reef habitats and subtropical coastal waters. The …

An evolutionary scenario incorporating recent advances in phylogenetic research begins
with an opisthobranch-pulmonate common ancestor that was herbivorous and had some …

The phylogenetic relationships of the cryptobranch dorids are studied based on
morphological characters of species belonging to all previously described genera. The …

Midgut morphology of gastropod molluscs has been underutilized as a resource of
characters for phylogenetic analysis. The exclusion of these features reflects the inference …

Coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse ecosystems of the world, yet little is
known about the processes creating and maintaining their diversity. Ecologically, corallivory …
