New molecular markers resolve the phylogenetic position of the enigmatic wood-boring weevils Platypodinae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)The precise phylogenetic position of the weevil subfamily Platypodinae continues to be one of the more contentious issues in weevil systematics. Morphological features of adult beetles and similar ecological adaptations ... -
New observations of the enigmatic West African Cellana limpet (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Nacellidae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07-25)Background: Identification of limpets is often hampered by highly variable within-species shell morphologies and colour patterns. Since pre-Linnean times this has produced complex taxonomies with confusing nomenclatorial ... -
A new phylogeny of the Cephalaspidea (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) based on expanded taxon sampling and gene markers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08)The Cephalaspidea is a diverse marine clade of euthyneuran gastropods with many groups still known largely from shells or scant anatomical data. The definition of the group and the relationships between members has been ... -
New species of Ampharetidae (Annelida: Polychaeta) from the Arctic Loki Castle vent field
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03)Ampharetid polychaetes adapted to live in chemosynthetic environments are well known from the deep Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, but to date no such species have been reported from the Arctic Ocean. Here, we describe two ... -
