Mollusks constitute one of the most species-rich animal phyla in today's environments, and their contribution to the fossil record is even more significant. The Mollusk Symposium aims to provide insights into the latest research on fossil mollusks with respect to phylogeny, taxonomy, diversity, ecology, and morphology. Hence, we invite contributions on a broad range of topics. These may include reports on newly discovered taxa or faunas just as well as molecular phylogenetic research or studies on the role of molluscs in paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Likewise, presentations on the large proportion of mollusks in natural history collections and related aspects of curation and digitization, or potential applications of AI in collection management and mollusk research are welcome.
