Spicy food for the egg-cowries: the evolution of corallivory in the Ovulidae (Gastropoda: Cypraeoidea)
Elisa Nocella,Sofya Sergeevna Zvonareva,Giulia Fassio,Daniela Pica,Barbara Buge,Raimondo Villa,Nicolas Puillandre,Maria Vittoria Modica,Marco Oliverio +8 more
TL;DR: The phylogenetic hypothesis revealed the existence of groups that do not completely correspond to the currently employed subfamilial arrangement of the Ovulidae, and suggest that some ovulid lineages shifted independently between octocorals and hexacorals.
From coral reefs into the abyss: the evolution of corallivory in the Coralliophilinae (Neogastropoda, Muricidae)
Elisa Nocella,G. Fassio,Dario Zuccon,Nicolas Puillandre,Maria Vittoria Modica,Marco Oliverio +5 more
TL;DR: This study investigates the evolution of corallivory in the Coralliophilinae subfamily, revealing numerous cryptic species, non-monophyletic genera, and a Middle Eocene origin, with host shifts and diversification influenced by association with cnidarian hosts.
A molecular framework for the systematics of the Mediterranean spindle-shells (Gastropoda, Neogastropoda, Fasciolariidae, Fusininae)

TL;DR: In this paper , a molecular phylogenetic framework for the Mediterranean Fusininae was proposed, focusing on native species representative of the genus-level taxa, and the results confirmed that Fusinus s.s. (type species Murex colus Linnaeus, 1758) should be restricted to a group of large-shelled species from the Indo-West Pacific and does not fit any of the small shelled Mediterranean fusinines.
Whelks, rock-snails, and allied: a new phylogenetic framework for the family Muricidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda)
V. Russini,G. Fassio,Elisa Nocella,R. Houart,A. Barco,Nicolas Puillandre,P. Lozouet,M. Modica,M. Oliverio +8 more
TL;DR: A molecular revision of the family Muricidae based on the largest dataset analysed so far, which comprises 384 specimens representing 360 species and includes, for the first time, all the currently recognised subfamilies, confirmed the monophyly of most of the accepted subfamilies and suggested a revision of the taxonomic composition of Muricopsinae and Muricinae.
