Tridacnid clams are conspicuous inhabitants of Indo-Pacific coral reefs and are traded and cultivated for the aquarium and food industries. In the present study, daily growth rates of larvae of the ...

Abstract The phylum Mollusca is bifurcated into the hyperdiverse Conchifera (Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Cephalopoda, et al.) and the spiny Aculifera (Polyplacophora and Aplacophora). High quality genomic ...

An interview with the Swedish audiovisual artist, who fabricates synthesizers, sound sculptures, and video game consoles from playful objects like toys, cacti, and marbles.

To test whether the observed incongruence is caused by ILS or hybridization, we partitioned the genomic orthologs into three paired-topology categories (Bivalvia–Scaphopoda, Bivalvia–Gastropoda, and ...

Researchers from China, the U.S.A. and the U.K. have sequenced the first genomes of Scaphopoda or “tusk shells”—among the rarest and least-studied members of Mollusca—and found ...
