  • Description: Since the evolutionary emergence of the molluscan shell in the Pre-Cambrian, diverse shell forms have evolved, which are adapted to various ecological environ-ments. The innovation of the shell facilitated the vast morphological and ecological diversification of the Mollusca, but its formation during the early embryogenesis is poorly understood. Many ontogenetic events associated with larval shell formation are evolutionarily conserved. Particularly, the initial specification of the responsible organ, the molluscan shell field, often coincides with a direct cell-cell contact between the pro...
