contents Peptide and neuropeptide diversity and function in bivalves. Li, Zhi Cardoso, João C R Power, Deborah M Animals Neuropeptides Bivalvia Peptides The Mollusca are the second most specious animal phyla after arthropods. They are morphologically diverse and exhibit high variability of their nervous systems, which have evolved as they adapted to an extreme range of ecological niches. Recent availability of genomes, transcriptomes and proteomes from diverse Mollusca representatives are uncovering the complexity of neuropeptides and their receptors. A diversity of neuropeptide precursors some of which encode multiple bioactive mature peptides and multiple orphan receptors have been described but their function is largely unexplored. This review will highlight the diversity of peptide/neuropeptide systems described in bivalves a member of the phylum Mollusca. The bivalves are of scientific and socioeconomic importance and in common with other calcifying marine organisms are susceptible to the effects of the rapidly changing global climate. Herein we briefly explore and compare mollusc nervous systems and highlight the complexity of bivalve peptide/neuropeptide genes, their putative receptor genes, and reports about their function in bivalve physiology. Characterization of the role of peptides/neuropeptides on bivalve physiology can give important insights into their evolutionary success but also feed models that can predict the likely impact of anthropogenic actions on their continuing success and biodiversity in a rapidly changing marine environment.
