Fewer than 1% of marine gastropod species live a holoplanktic life. Of these, the shelled
heteropods of the family Atlantidae are among the most poorly understood. The atlantids …

La diversidad del phyllum Mollusca distribuida en la extensa costa de México, ha sido difícil
de precisar, pero debido a que la riqueza de especies es la principal variable descriptiva de …

Distinguishing the various Recent taxa of the pteropod genus Creseis, especially the
nominal species Creseis acicula (Rang, 1828), C. clava (Rang, 1828), C. virgula and C …

The atlantid heteropods are regularly encountered, but rarely studied marine planktonic
gastropods. Relying on a small (< 14 mm), delicate aragonite shell and living in the upper …

Abstract Larval didymozoids (Trematoda: Digenea) were discovered parasitizing the
hemocoel of the heteropod Firoloida desmarestia (redia mean intensity= 13) and the …

This is the first study of species composition of holoplanktonic molluscs of the Pacific coast of
southern Mexico, focusing mainly on the Gulf of Tehuantepec. From two oceanographic …

An overview of shelled pteropod species of the northeast Pacific Ocean, roughly north of 25
N and east of 160 W is presented. For the 34 recognised species (Limacinidae 6, Creseidae …

The gastropod family Atlantidae is a group of holoplanktonic mollusks comprising 23
species in three genera. Most atlantids have tropical and subtropical affinity, but two thirds of …

Holoplanktonic organisms are thought to have enormous populations sizes, expansive
geographic ranges, and low species diversity. Previous work suggests that pelagic …

Atlantids are holoplanktonic gastropods present in tropical to sub-polar waters, and have
gained an increasing interest due to their potential use as biological indicators of climate …
