I am trying to compile some information and references on the developmental mode of various Western Atlantic mollusks. At this point I am searching for information on the developmental mode (direct developer versus planktotrophic) for the following 5 species: Corbula swiftiana, Diplothyra smithii, Turbonilla interrupta, Sayella fusca, and Rictaxis punctostriatus, but have not been able to find anything in the literature so far on each one's mode of development. I would be very appreciative if anybody on Conch-L had knowledge of these guys or could recommend likely places to look for such information. Thanks in advance.
