Ammonite research

• Đaković, Mrdak & Gawlick (2025) describe three assemblages of Anisian ammonoids from the Komarani and Bulog formations (Montenegro), including fossils of Ptychites rugifer , Megaphyllites obolus , Parakellnerites rothpletzi , Apleuroceras decrescens , Proteusites labiatus , Tropigastrites lahontanus , Proarcestes pannonicus , Proarcestes subtridentinus and Aristoptychites sp. extending known geographical ranges of these taxa. ^[17]
• Description and study on the biostratigraphy of the ammonite assemblage from the Jurassic strata from Sierra de Reyes (Mendoza Province, Argentina) is published by Riccardi, Gulisano & Gutierrez-Pleimling (2025). ^[18]
• A study on the biostratigraphy of the ammonite faunas from the Aalenian Achdorf Formation (Germany) is published by Dietze et al. (2025). ^[19]
• A study on the composition of the Middle Jurassic ammonite fauna from the Shal Formation (Iran) is published by Majidifard & Wilmsen (2025). ^[20]
• A study on the morphology and growth of Rehmannia richei is published by Douas Bengoudira et al. (2025). ^[21]
• An ammonite specimen belonging to the genus Rehmannia, preserving paired Praetriaptychus aptychi within its body chamber and likely close to their original position, is described from the Jurassic (probably Callovian) strata from Quintanas de Hormiguera (Palencia, Spain) by Martínez, Ureta & García-Frank (2025). ^[22]
• Jantschke et al. (2025) report the discovery of a diverse ammonite assemblage from the Oxfordian strata of the Sengenthal Formation (Germany). ^[23]
• Vašíček & Skupien (2025) revise the composition of the haploceratid assemblage from the Jurassic–Cretaceous transition from the Štramberk Limestone (Czech Republic). ^[24]
• Cadena, Bustos & Lehmann (2025) describe bochianitid fossils from the Valanginian and Hauterivian strata of the Rosablanca Formation (Colombia), extending known range of Bochianites neocomiensis and Janenschites oosteri to the northern part of South America. ^[25]
• Fosso Menkem et al. (2025) describe fossil material of Albian ammonites from the Kribi-Campo sub-Basin (Cameroon), assign the fossil-bearing deposits to the Mundeck Formation, and interpret the studied fossils as evidence of a full connection between the North and South Atlantic during the lower Albian. ^[26]
• Wani (2025) studies morphology and ontogeny of Pachydesmoceras denisonianum on the basis of data from a conch from the Cretaceous Karai Formation (India), interpreted as indicating that constrictions and septal spacings are not always directly linked in the studied ammonite. ^[27]
• Xing et al. (2025) describe a new invertebrate assemblage from the Cretaceous amber from Myanmar, preserving ammonites alongside terrestrial arthropods. ^[28]
• A study on the ontogenetic shell development of Yabeiceras orientale , Y. cf. manasoaense, Forresteria yezoensis and F. muramotoi is published by Inose & Watanabe (2025). ^[29]
• A study on shell breakages in specimens of Hoploscaphites nicolletii from the Upper Cretaceous Fox Hills Formation (South Dakota, United States), interpreted as evidence of lethal attacks by durophagous predators, is published by Tajika et al. (2025). ^[30]
• Tajika et al. (2025) study the variation in the whorl expansion rate within multiple Late Cretaceous ammonite species, and find no evidence of a strong correlation between the studied variation and species duration or geographic distribution. ^[31]
• Peterman et al. (2025) study the hydromechanical properties of ornamentation of ammonite shells, and find that ornamentation patterns with intermediate coarseness, reducing rocking behavior without significant reduction of swimming efficiency, became more abundant during the Mesozoic, likely as a result of hydromechanical selective pressures. ^[32]

Bivalve research

• Gavirneni, Ivany & Reddin (2025) calculate resting metabolic rates for fossil bivalves, and find bivalves with higher mass-specific metabolic rates to be overall more vulnerable to extinction throughout the evolutionary history of the group. ^[65]
• Yang et al. (2025) report the first discovery of alatoconchid fossil material from the middle Permian strata of the Maokou Formation (Hubei, China). ^[66]
• Miao et al. (2025) study the fossil record of Triassic marine bivalves, and report evidence of recovery of taxonomic richness after the Permian–Triassic extinction event during the Early Triassic, and of recovery of ecological diversity in the Middle Triassic. ^[67]
• A study on Early Triassic bivalve communities from the Liuzhi and Bozhou sections in Guizhou (China), providing evidence of increase of species diversity in associations dominated by members of the genus Claraia , but also evidence of broad ecological uniformity in the aftermath of the Permian–Triassic extinction event, is published by Yang et al. (2025). ^[68]
• Evidence from the study of unionoid bivalve specimens from the Triassic of Poland and from the Cretaceous of Brazil and the United Kingdom, indicative of evolution of advanced anatomical traits of gills after the Triassic, is presented by Skawina & Ghilardi (2025). ^[69]
• Neubauer et al. (2025) identify the pectinid genus Velata Quenstedt (1857) as validly named and a senior synonym of Eopecten, and identify the type species of the genus Velata, "Spondylus" tuberculosus Goldfuss (1835), as a junior synonym of Velata abjecta (Phillips, 1829). ^[70]
• A study on the shell microstructure, ecology and biostratigraphic utility of Liostrea birmanica , based on fossil from the Middle Jurassic Daoban Formation (China), is published by Li et al. (2025). ^[71]
• Simões et al. (2025) describe a new mollusc-dominated assemblage from the uppermost Romualdo Formation (Brazil), including freshwater bivalves previously known only from the underlying Crato Formation. ^[72]
• Silva et al. (2025) describe new fossil material of bivalves from Lower Cretaceous deposits in northeastern Brazil, expanding known range of the genera Araripenaia , Cratonaia and Monginellopsis beyond the Crato and Romualdo formations. ^[73]
• Mougola et al. (2025) report on the composition of the bivalve assemblage from the Upper Cretaceous (Coniacian–Santonian) strata from Cap Estérias, including first records of three bivalve genera and twelve species from the Gabon Coastal Basin described to date. ^[74]
• Evidence of changes of composition of Late Cretaceous bivalve communities from the Ariyalur Sub-basin (India), interpreted as likely related to changing substrate conditions, is presented by Mukhopadhyay et al. (2025). ^[75]
• Evidence from the study of the fossil record of marine bivalves, indicating that the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event resulted in disruption of biodiversity of marine bivalves but did not fully determine their present-day diversity, is presented by Edie, Collins & Jablonski (2025). ^[76]
• Villegas-Martín et al. (2025) identify a fossil wood specimens from the La Meseta Formation (Antarctica), preserved with a boring interpreted as likely produced by a large-bodied member of the genus Kuphus , and representing possible evidence of wood colonization by large-bodied shipworms in the Antarctic Peninsula during the Eocene. ^[77]
• Bojarski, Cierocka & Szwedo (2025) report the discovery of more than 90 inclusions of piddocks in the Miocene Mexican amber, representing various developmental stages and at least five distinct morphotypes. ^[78]

Gastropod research

• A study on the evolution of the columellar folds in gastropods, based on data from extant and fossil taxa, is published by Vermeij (2025). ^[116]
• A study on the diversity of Permian and Triassic gastropods is published by Dominici (2025), who interprets increase of diversity of carnivorous gastropods during the Middle-Late Triassic transition as related to evolution of reef ecosystems at the same time. ^[117]
• Evidence from the study of fossil shells of Cathaica orithyia from the Chinese Loess Plateau, indicative of a link between shell morphology and changes in climatic and environmental conditions linked to changes of Asian summer monsoons over the past 470,000 years, is presented by Shen et al. (2025). ^[118]
• A study on ecological niche preferences of turritelline gastropods during the Cretaceous-Paleogene transition, providing evidence of niche stability of turritellines living before and after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, is published by Goodman et al. (2025). ^[119]
• Bakayeva et al. (2025) revise the colombellinid genus Zittelia , and recognize 9 valid species from southern and central Europe. ^[120]
• Evidence from the study of extant and fossil members of the family Littorinidae, indicating that differences in shell shape are correlated with genetic distances in extant members of the group and may aid recognition of fossil taxa, is presented by Shin & Allmon (2025). ^[121]
• Evidence from the study of polymeric membranes in shells of Ecphora gardnerae from the Miocene strata of the St. Marys Formation (Maryland, United States), indicative of peptide and chitin preservation in the studied specimens, is presented by Cleland et al. (2025). ^[122]
• Fossil material of extant African taxa Acteon senegalensis and Acteon maltzani is described from the Pleistocene strata from the Taranto area by La Perna, De Santis & Caldara (2025), providing evidence of presence of both species in southern Italy during the Last Interglacial. ^[123]

General research

• New fossil material of molluscs, facilitating comparisons with faunas from other paleocontinents, is described from the Cambrian Stage 4 strata in North Greenland by Oh, Peel & Park (2025). ^[126]
• Evidence from the study of the fossil record of marine bivalves and gastropods from the Permian-Triassic transition, interpreted as indicating that taxonomic homogenization of the studied molluscs in marine communities after the Permian–Triassic extinction event was related to environmental changes that resulted in expansion of the preferred habitat of the survivors of extinction, is presented by Al Aswad et al. (2025). ^[127]
• Evidence from the study of the fossil record of Early Jurassic gastropods and bivalves from the epicontinental seas of the north-western Tethys Ocean, indicative of a relationship between the thermal suitability of the studied animals and changes of their occupancy in response to climate changes during the Pliensbachian and Toarcian, is presented by Reddin et al. (2025). ^[128]
• Description of the assemblage of ammonites and inoceramid bivalves from the Albian strata from the Mangyshlak Anticlinorium (Kazakhstan) is published by Kennedy & Walaszczyk (2025). ^[129]
• Aiba & Mochizuki (2025) describe new fossil material of ammonites and inoceramid bivalves from the Taneichi Formation (Japan), and interpret the composition of the studied assemblage as indicating that the middle Member of the Taneichi Formation was deposited during the Santonian–early Campanian. ^[130]
• Fergusen, Reed & García-Bellido (2025) determine lost pigmentation patterns in molluscan specimens from the Miocene Cadell Formation (Australia), interpret the pigmentation patterns of Lophiotoma murrayana as supporting its reassignment from the genus Lucerapex to Lophiotoma, and interpret the pigmentation of Maoricolpus murrayanus as similar to the pigmentation of extant Maoricolpus roseus , strengthening the arguments that the two species are synonymous. ^[131]
• Ponder et al. (2025) review the fossil record of non-marine aquatic molluscs from Australia and New Zealand. ^[132]
