`Unique phenomena are important in history but are difficult to study because they resist categorization and are therefore unpredictable. To examine the timing and circumstances of unique evolutionary events, we identified traits that evolved only once in the highly diverse phylum Mollusca as well as unique first occurrences of traits that evolved repeatedly since.`
