Abstract: Adult molluscs produce shells with diverse morphologies and ornamentations, different colour patterns and microstructures. The larval shell however, is a phenotypically more conserved structure. How do developmental and evolutionary processes generate varying diversity at different… read more here.

Abstract: Environmental stressors impact marine larval growth rates, quality and sizes. Larvae of the Antarctic bivalve, Laternula elliptica, were raised to the D-larvae stage under temperature and pH conditions representing ambient and end of century projections… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.813741
Abstract: The molecular mechanisms underlying larval shell development in mollusks remain largely elusive. We previously found evident filamentous actin (F-actin) aggregations in the developing shell field of the patellogastropod Lottia goshimai, indicating roles of actomyosin networks… read more here.
