Gastropod phylogenetic systematics has seen a recent boost, prompted by the discovery of
new taxonomic groups (especially in the hydrothermal-vent faunas), the development of new …

ABSTRACT 2,604 names at the rank of subtribe, tribe, subfamily, family and superfamily
have been proposed for Recent and fossil gastropods, and another 35 for …

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 …

Oceanic islands have played a central role in biogeography and evolutionary biology. Here,
we review molecular studies of the endemic terrestrial fauna of the Hawaiian archipelago …

Morphological (including ultrastructural) and developmental characters utilized in recent
literature are critically reviewed as the basis to reassess the phylogenetic relationships of …

New phylogenetic hypotheses of adaptive radiation in Gastropoda and basic gastropod
organization are discussed. Gastropods on land ie Archaeogastropod Neritopsina …

We have incorporated an additional 56 species of land snails and slugs in our ribosomal (r)
RNA molecular phylogeny. The new taxa include representatives of several important …

The freshwater ecosystem may be as old as most life. Although freshwater life is
taxonomically impoverished in comparison with marine and terrestrial biotas and ultimately …

Phylogenetic relationships among higher clades of pulmonate gastropods are reconstructed
based on a data set including one nuclear marker (complete ribosomal 18S) and two …

Clitellata is a major clade of Annelida comprising nearly all freshwater and terrestrial
annelids as well as several marine species. We investigated clitellate phylogenetic …
