Size-dependent shell growth and survival in natural populations of the rock-dwelling land snail Chondrina clienta [PDF]

, 2015
Rock-dwelling land snails, feeding on algae and lichens that grow on stone surfaces, may influence the structure and function of these ecosystems. Yet, little is known about the life history of rock-dwelling snails.

Single-gene speciation: mating and gene flow between mirror-image snails [PDF]

, 2017
Variation in the shell coiling, or chirality, of land snails provides an opportunity to investigate the potential for “single-gene” speciation, because mating between individuals of opposite chirality is believed not possible if the snails mate in a face-

A new species of Tropidauchenia Lindholm, 1924 (Gastropoda, Stylommatophora, Clausiliidae, Garnieriinae) from Guangdong, China [PDF]

Zoosystematics and Evolution
A molecular phylogenetic study was conducted on genus Tropidauchenia, based on COI and 16S sequences. A total of six out of 18 species in the genus, as well as three species of Grandinenia and eight species of subfamily Synprosphyminae and Phaedusinae ...

Generalist carabid beetles are more malacophagous than previously recognized and cause diversified types of shell damage

Journal of Zoology, Volume 324, Issue 1, Page 11-20, September 2024.
The main objective of this study was to investigate the ability of various generalist carabid species to feed on snails under laboratory conditions. We recorded 723 instances of shell‐breaking predation in 89 of 180 carabid individuals (representing 23 of 33 species).

Analysis of the secondary structure of mitochondrial LSU rRNA of Peruvian land snails (Orthalicidae: Gastropoda)

Revista Peruana de Biología, 2011
The alignment of ribosomal genes is difficult due to insertion and deletion events of nucleotides, making the alignment ambiguous. This can be overcome by using information from the secondary structure of ribosomal genes.
