on the nacreous layers of gastropods, bivalves and cephalopods [62]. It was found that the small pores, originally described as mineral bridges, in fact are interrupted by the organic matrix, meaning that there is no continuity between the crystals. The larger holes, on the other hand, were...
Gastropods: The gastropods (class Gastropoda) are the largest and most varied group of mollusks. Snails are the most familiar gastropods, but the group includes other forms, such as limpets, abalones and nudibranchs. There are perhaps 75,000 species under garstropods, mostly marine. A typical ...
Rheological fingerprinting of gastropod pedal mucus and synthetic complex fluids for biomimicking adhesive locomotion Nonlinear rheological properties are often relevant in understanding the response of a material to its intended environment. For example, many gastropods c... RH Ewoldt,C Clasen,AE Hosoi,...
Even though ladybirds are well known as economically important biological control agents, an integrative framework of DNA barcoding research was not available for the family so far. We designed and present a set of efficient mini-barcoding primers to recover full DNA barcoding sequences for Coccinel...
CALCIin scaffold43406 andCALCIIin scaffold954. In the gastropods, the owl limpet and the sea hare snail, two precursors also exist. Based on the consensus proteolytic cleavage sites and peptide sequences, 4 putative CALC-like peptides may be producedin vivofrom the Mediterranean and hard-...

. The sponge holobiont concept has allowed to better understand the role of sponge prokaryotic communities in the production of various biosynthetic pathways (Wilson et al.2014; Harvey et al.2015). As an example, sponge-associated bacteria can contribute to the production of bioactive compounds (...
The sequence of the Cretaceous layers at the toe of the landslides has already been described in detail by Ampferer [52], showing a stratification from the bottom to the top based on a layer of (1) coal, (2) blue-grey sandstone, (3) gray marl with gastropods, (4) sand with corals...
In order to investigate the serendipitous find of a gastropod encrusted by the symbiont-bearing colonial coral Oculinapatagonica, we examined several specimens of cnidarian-encrusted gastropods, ranging in age from the Pliocene to the Recent, and characterized in detail their sclerobiont cover. The ...
crassus have been described as being able to utilise several aquatic species (including freshwater teleosts, amphibians, gastropods and arthropods) as paratenic hosts [6,9-11]. In the last three decades, interest in this family of nematodes has been driven by A. crassus Kuwahara, © 2012 ...
