Abstract: The relationship between morphology and inheritance is of perennial interest in evolutionary biology and palaeontology. Using three marine snail genera Penion, Antarctoneptunea and Kelletia, we investigate whether systematics based on shell morphology accurately reflect evolutionary… read more here.

Abstract: Molluscs’ existence at unusually low pH suggests at least some animals will be able to tolerate seas altered by climate change. Molluscs’ existence at unusually low pH suggests at least some animals will be able… read more here.
