Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

There is a request, submitted by Snek01 (talk), for an audio version of this article to be created. For further information, see WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia.

The rationale behind the request is: "Unique gastropod, unique among all animals, interesting to general public. As of 2017, it will be the first spoken gastropod article on Wikipedia and also the first spoken mollusc article. Lossless audio format (for example FLAC) is needed. A voice with clear pronounciation preferred.".

Not sure about the binomial name[edit]

For the record, I'm not sure how well the name Crysomallon squamiferum is accepted, as almost all of the references to this name online are in Japanese. Melchoir (talk) 10:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This name Crysomallon squamiferum is still just a 'leaked' MS name, unpublished as indicated http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3869010/ and https://twitter.com/expeditionlog/status/566853510269263872 and http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=736932 Pherusan (talk) 22:03, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I got it from the Japanese Wikipedia article ja:ウロコフネタマガイ, 2008 version, which seems to have gotten it from the following PDF hosted by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology in 2007: https://www.jamstec.go.jp/maritec/j/blueearth/2007/yokou/PS88.PDF, which begins "ウロコフネタマガイ(Crysomallon squamiferum)をはじめとするインド洋カイレイフィールドにて採集された熱水性生物の採集・船上飼育について ○北田貢・三宅裕志・(新江ノ島水族館)、鈴木庸平((独)産業技術総合研究所)、高井研(JAMSTEC)" I guess Ken Takai of JAMSTEC might be able to trace it from there.

Crysomallon squamiferum is a temporary name, as it has not been validly published in the sense of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. I've mentioned this in the article. JoJan (talk) 13:54, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Grammatical weirdness from source[edit]

The paper "By more ways than one" (2017) has some weirdness (some of it grammatical), which is reflected in this article. I've attempted to interpret it in order to clarify the article, but I thought it was worth disclaiming authority here: It is an educated guess of mine, for example, that the ventricle dimensions given in Table 1 are lengths. FWIW, I'm of the opinion that with the fairly stilted and strange language in parts of the article, some of it referencing that paper, and the general excessive wordy detail, I don't think this still qualifies as a Good Article. --Anon423 (talk) 18:41, 9 February 2021 (UTC)—[reply]

The paper referenced:

Chen, Chong; Uematsu, Katsuyuki; Linse, Katrin; Sigwart, Julia D. (2017). "By more ways than one: Rapid convergence at hydrothermal vents shown by 3D anatomical reconstruction of Gigantopelta (Mollusca: Neomphalina)". BMC Evolutionary Biology. 17 (1): 62. doi:10.1186/s12862-017-0917-z. ISSN 1471-2148. PMC 5333402. PMID 28249568.{{cite journal}}: CS1 maint: unflagged free DOI (link) --Anon423 (talk) 18:44, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly, I've added a statement that might border on original research (synthesis), but which I hope is a reasonable introduction (in the service of readability) to the notes on sensitivity, mineral richness, and genetic isolation taken from the same source and explicated in the rest of the paragraph. I think it qualifies as a non-editorial summary, but let me know if you disagree.

The population at the Longqi vent field may be of particular concern.
