DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-71348-5
Abstract: The present study evaluated the structural and ultrastructural characteristics of Rapana venosa egg capsules, starting from observations of their antifouling activity and mechanical resistance to water currents in mid-shore habitats. Optical microscopy, epifluorescence, and electron… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mollus/eyy026
Abstract: We report extreme cannibalistic behaviour in juveniles (1.5–10 mm) of the rapa whelk, Rapana venosa, when they transition from a phytophagous to a carnivorous feeding habit after metamorphosis, as appropriate food becomes scarce during this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1749-4877.12675
Abstract: Metamorphosis is the short developmental stage characterized by dramatic ontogenetic changes that occurs in most animals. However, this important process remains largely unclear in marine invertebrates. In this study, we performed the sequential RNA sequencing… read more here.
