DOI: 10.1007/s10531-019-01905-6
Abstract: Spring ecosystems are exceptionally threatened and their conservation is often emphasized due to high levels of endemism among the groups inhabiting these ecosystems. This study includes gastropod assemblages of 36 springs situated in the northwestern… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2020.109623
Abstract: Abstract Turritella abrupta (Miocene-Pliocene) is the largest species known from the diverse Jurassic-Recent gastropod family Turritellidae. In addition to having achieved long length and substantial width, the species produces shells of exceptional thickness, even before… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2018.12.019
Abstract: Long-branch attraction (LBA) is a well-known artifact in phylogenetic reconstruction. Sparse taxon sampling and extreme heterogeneity of evolutionary rates among lineages generate propitious situations for LBA, even defying probabilistic methods of phylogenetic inference. A clear… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.13285
Abstract: The Gastropoda contains 80% of existing mollusks and is the most diverse animal class second only to the Insecta. However, the deep phylogeny of gastropods has been controversial for a long time. Especially the position… read more here.
