Horizon scanning is an increasingly common strategy to identify key research needs and
frame future agendas in science. Here, we present the results of the first such exercise for …

Size-selective harvesting of intertidal molluscs is a common practice. However, the effects of
long-term traditional harvesting remain unclear. Changes in mean shell size are generally …

Determining the geographical origin of seafood is crucial for regulators and fishing

Morphometric analysis is one of the tools widely used to quantify, analyse and describe the
variations in the biological forms of animals. In this study, we examined the linear …

As the discovery of cryptic species has increased in frequency, there has been an interest in

Freshwater Gastropoda can be considered as the biological indicator in ecosystems such as
rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds. The objectives of this study are to identify freshwater …

Seasonal dimorphism in the body shape of marine invertebrates has been poorly explored
compared to vertebrates. We aim to investigate through traditional (body length/width ratio …
