Evolutionary relationships of euthyneuran gastropods (Mollusca): a cladistic re-evaluation of morphological characters
@article{Dayrat2002EvolutionaryRO, title={Evolutionary relationships of euthyneuran gastropods (Mollusca): a cladistic re-evaluation of morphological characters}, author={Beno{\^i}t Dayrat and Simon Tillier}, journal={Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society}, year={2002}, volume={135}, pages={403-470} }
Morphological characters of the Euthyneura available from the literature were re-evaluated in terms of terminology and primary homology. A total of 77 characters and 75 taxa were retained in a data matrix. Several assumptions on character weights and types were tested. In the cladistic analyses, it appeared that the data matrix was highly homoplastic, and only robust nodes (those which were little modified by variations in weight and coding of characters) were retained in a concensus tree. The…

It can be proposed for the first time that invasion of freshwater by Pulmonata is a unique evolutionary event and has taken place directly from the marine environment via an aquatic pathway.
Towards a phylogeny and evolution of Acochlidia (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Opisthobranchia)
- Biology

It is concluded that the acochlidian ancestor was marine mesopsammic, and the formerly enigmatic Ganitidae, resembling sacoglossan opisthobranchs by having dagger-like rachidian radular teeth, are likely to be highly derived microhedylids.
Molecular phylogeny of the Euthyneura (Mollusca, Gastropoda) with spacial focus on Opisthobranchia as a framework for reconstruction of evolution of diet
- Biology

The present study presents the currently most extensive analyses on opisthobranch phylogeny including 58 species from all major subgroups and finds Herbivory is found as the most likely ancestral diet of Euthyneura while carnivory probably evolved several times independently in different clades.
