Data and code from: Alternative pathways into the deep sea: Patterns in Bivalvia Open
Relatively few clades have colonized the deep sea. Here, we analyze evolutionary pathways into this harsh environment, as a continuum defined by two potential end-members—a "piecemeal model", with exclusively deep-sea species (deep-sea end…

A new large-sized lepetid limpet from the abyssal northwestern Pacific is the deepest known patellogastropod Open
True limpets in the gastropod subclass Patellogastropoda are familiar members of shallow-water rocky environments but are much rarer in the deep, with just three families adapted to bathyal depths or more. Of these, Lepetidae is the only o…
