Evidence for the validity of Protatlanta sculpta (Gastropoda: Pterotracheoidea)
The genus Protatlanta is thought to be monotypic and is part of the Atlantidae, a family of shelled heteropods. These microscopic planktonic gastropods are poorly known, although research on their ecology is now increasing in response to concerns about the effects of ocean acidification on calcareou...
