Evolution in the dark: unifying our understanding of eye loss by Porter, M, Sumner-Rooney, L

“…This phenomenon appears consistently throughout the animal kingdom, in groups as diverse as crustaceans, salamanders, gastropods, spiders and the well-known Mexican cave fish, but the nature, extent and evolutionary processes behind eye loss remain elusive. …”

The utility of micro-computed tomography for the non-destructive study of eye microstructure in snails by Sumner-Rooney, L, Kenny, NJ, Ahmed, F, Williams, ST

“…Here we assess the potential of non-destructive micro-computed tomography (µ-CT) for investigating the anatomy of molluscan eyes in three species of the family Solariellidae, a group of small, deep-sea gastropods. We compare our results directly with those from traditional histological methods applied to the same specimens, and show not only that eye microstructure can be visualised in sufficient detail for meaningful comparison even in very small animals, but also that μ-CT can provide additional insight into gross neuroanatomy without damaging rare and precious specimens. …”

The effects of commercial bacterial products on macrobenthos community in shrimp culture ponds by Shishehchian, Farshad, Md Yusoff, Fatimah, Mohamed Din, Mohamed Shariff

“…The study revealed the presence of four majorgroups of macrobenthos in all treatments; gastropods, bivalve, polychaetes andinsect larvae. The total density of macrobenthos in all ponds, exceptgastropods, showed a decreasing trend with the progress in culture indicatingeither predation by shrimp or deterioration of pond bottom. …”
