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 …

Background In recent years, several types of molecular markers and new microscale
skeletal characters have shown potential as powerful tools for phylogenetic reconstructions …

Long-branch attraction (LBA) is a well-known artifact in phylogenetic reconstruction. Sparse
taxon sampling and extreme heterogeneity of evolutionary rates among lineages generate …

In order to further resolve the phylogenetic relationships within Caenogastropoda, the
complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of Cochlostoma hidalgoi (Cyclophoroidea), Naticarius …

Comprising about 60% of gastropod diversity, caenogastropods display almost all kinds of
shell forms and include many commercially important marine groups. Although the …

For the purpose of determining the placement of Calyptraeidae within the Littorinimorpha,
we hereby furnish a thorough analysis of the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) …

Despite significant advances in our understanding of speciation in the marine environment,
the mechanisms underlying evolutionary diversification in deep-sea habitats remain poorly …

The nucleotide sequences of the complete or nearly complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes
of seven vetigastropods were determined: Angaria neglecta (Angarioidea), Phasianella …

Despite the extraordinary morphological and ecological diversity of Neritimorpha, few
studies have focused on the phylogenetic relationships of this lineage of gastropods, which …

Members of the gastropod superfamily Stromboidea (Littorinimorpha) are characterised by
their elaborate shell morphologies, distinctive mode of locomotion, and often large and …
