Abstract

Molluscs get together Phylogenomic methods are beginning to resolve one of the more tricky issues facing evolutionary biologists — making sense of the complicated interrelationships of the Mollusca. Casey Dunn and colleagues have managed to recover information from the crucial but hard-to-get-at Monoplacophora, a primitive group of deep-sea molluscs, revealing a shared ancestry with cephalopods. Together with the recent paper by Kocot et al. ( http://go.nature.com/g9trkt ), this study shows that the bivalves and gastropods form a single group.
