We have compiled a complete list of new marine molluscan taxa introduced by Tommaso Allery Di Maria, Marquis of Monterosato (1841-1927). The dates of publication of every single work have been checked against available evidence, and an updated bibliography is also presented. Finally, the type material of all marine taxa expected to be in the collection Monterosato (presently preserved in the Museo Civico di Zoologia in Rome) has been searched in the main collection, and all retrieved specimens have been catalogued. A large majority of the material has been found, representative specimens of each taxon have been illustrated, and remarks on nomenclature and taxonomy have been provided yielding 42 new synonymies, 46 nominal taxa rediscovered, and 6 new combinations.

A dataset of seasonal fluctuations of molluscan populations from the southern Gulf of California subtropical arid zone.
Data Brief
December 2024
Consejo Sudcaliforniano de Ciencia y Tecnología. Calle Ignacio Allende 1550. Col. Frac. Perla 23040 La Paz, B.C.S., Mexico.
The dataset contains insights into the molluscan diversity associated with seagrass and seasonal dynamics in a subtropical arid zone in the southern Gulf of California. The dataset includes the number of species, taxonomy, seasonal abundance data, trophic composition, biomass of molluscan, and biomass of seagrass (). This dataset is referenced in the study titled: "Diversity and seasonal variation of the molluscan community associated with the seagrass in a marine protected area in the southern Gulf of California" (Pérez-Estrada et al.

Article Synopsis
- - The research focuses on the association of symbiotic ciliates with mollusks, particularly bivalves, highlighting their roles as commensal, epibiotic, and parasitic relationships in various habitats.
- - Approximately 80,000 mollusk species exist globally, yet only a small fraction have been studied regarding their ciliates symbionts, leading to a lack of comprehensive data.
- - The study presents an updated checklist that documents 165 species of ciliates found in 158 bivalve hosts across 31 different locations, marking the first thorough review of this aspect of their biodiversity.
Genome assembly, gene content, and plastic gene expression responses to salinity changes in the Brackishwater Clam (Corbicula japonica) from a dynamic estuarine environment.
J Hazard Mater
November 2024
Department of Life Science, Chung-Ang University, Seoul 06974, Korea. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- - Estuaries are areas where saltwater and freshwater mix, leading to varying salinity levels which challenge organisms' ability to maintain balance, requiring rapid adjustments for survival.
- - Researchers completed the first high-resolution genome and transcriptome sequences of the bivalve C. japonica, revealing significant expansions in genes related to neuronal function.
- - Findings suggest that these neuronal genes may help C. japonica manage stress from high salinity, enhancing our understanding of how estuarine species adapt to changing environments and highlighting areas for further research.
Sex-specific mRNA alternative splicing patterns and Dmrt1 isoforms contribute to sex determination and differentiation of oyster.

Key Laboratory of Mariculture, Ministry of Education, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266003, China; Laboratory for Marine Fisheries Science and Food Production Processes, Qingdao Marine Science and Technology Center, Qingdao, Shandong 266237, China.
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on alternative splicing (AS) in the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas), highlighting its role in regulating gene expression related to sex determination and differentiation.
- Using PacBio Iso-Seq technology, the researchers identified 24,783 AS events across 6259 genes, many linked to phosphorylation processes, and found that splicing factors significantly influenced AS frequency in gonads.
- The analysis revealed notable differences between male and female gonads in terms of isoform abundance and specific genes associated with cell motility, as well as the discovery of a novel male-specific isoform of the gene Dmrt1, expanding our understanding of sex-related genetic regulation in molluscs.
De novo transcriptome analysis of the Indian squid Uroteuthis duvaucelii (Orbigny, 1848) from the Indian Ocean.

ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Ernakulam North P.O., Kochi, 682018, Kerala, India.
Article Synopsis
- - Cephalopods, like squids, have thrived in oceans for millions of years and are seen as advanced due to their large brains and complex sensory systems, exemplifying convergent evolution.
- - This study focuses on creating a reference transcriptome for the Indian squid Uroteuthis duvaucelii to enhance understanding of cephalopod evolution and expand existing knowledge databases.
- - Researchers generated 72 million short reads from various tissues (brain, eye, gill, heart, and gonads), identifying over 26,000 protein-coding sequences, and found that this squid shares numerous genes and pathways with higher vertebrates.
