Bizarre Morphology Obscures Real Affiliation: An Integrative Study of Enigmatic Cephalaspid <i>Philine denticulata</i> from Arctic Waters Reveals Its Unique Phylogenetic Position
The biodiversity of Cephalaspidea (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) is poorly studied, and novel findings often lead to revisions at different taxonomic levels. The family Philinidae has a distinct set of defining characters in the shell, copulatory apparatus, and gizzard morphology, but several species,...
