Unfinished symphony: updating the systematics of Aeolidiidae (Nudibranchia, Gastropoda), with special focus on Aeolidiella Bergh, 1867.

This paper updates the systematics of Aeolidiidae (Heterobranchia, Nudibranchia), with special emphasis on the genus Aeolidiella Bergh, 1867. Up to now, Aeolidiella was composed of five valid species:...

Gastropod shells record larval migration from deep-sea hydrothermal vents to the euphotic zone.

Larval migration plays an essential role in determining the distribution and evolution of invertebrate animals endemic to hydrothermal vents-disjunct and ephemeral habitats in the deep sea. However, t...

Three new species of Gastropoda from the Red Sea deep waters.

The discovery of three gastropod species (Mollusca) in biogenic sediments dredged from mesophotic and bathyal habitats off the coasts of Yemen and Sudan marks a noteworthy contribution to the inventor...

Levinaespira georgesnyderi gen. et sp. nov., a New Deep-Sea Snail (Gastropoda: Neomphalidae) from Eastern Pacific Methane Seeps.

Deep-sea methane seeps host diverse and abundant animal communities, including an extensive undescribed diversity of small cryptic invertebrates. We describe a new genus and species of neomphalid snai...

Confirmation of Spurilla braziliana (Mollusca: Nudibranchia) in the Southwest Atlantic: Morphology, Phylogeny, and Distribution.

AbstractNudibranchs of the genus Spurilla (Aeolidiidae) are currently represented worldwide by five species: S. braziliana, S. croisicensis, S. dupontae, S. neapolitana, and S. sargassicola. Two of th...
