The complete mitochondrial genome of the land snail Cornu aspersum (Helicidae: Mollusca): intra-specific divergence of protein-coding genes and phylogenetic considerations within Euthyneura. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The complete sequences of three mitochondrial genomes from the land snail Cornu aspersum were determined. The mitogenome has a length of 14050 bp, and it encodes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and two ribosomal RNA genes. It also includes

Integrating Indoor Hibernation into the Italian Outdoor Snail Farming System: A Potential Solution for Colder Climates [PDF]
Animals(1) Background: Hibernation in Lutrasil-covered enclosures led to elevated mortality rates for Cornu aspersum on Romanian farms. This two-year study evaluated the feasibility of adapting indoor hibernation technology to the Italian outdoor snail farming (

Land snails can trap trematode cercariae in their shell: Encapsulation as a general response against parasites? [PDF]
Parasite, 2023 Terrestrial gastropods are hosts of a wide variety of metazoan parasites and can respond to parasite exposure in various ways. One of these defence mechanisms, the ability to trap parasites in the host shell, was previously thought to apply only against ...

Context specificity of latent inhibition in the snail Cornu aspersum. [PDF]
Anim Cogn, 2022 AbstractThe present study was conducted to assess the context specificity of latent inhibition (LI) in the snail Cornu aspersum, using the appetitive Pavlovian Conditioning procedure of tentacle lowering. Snails experienced an odorous conditioned stimulus (CS) without any consequence before being conditioned with food.

Stage‐ and weather‐dependent dispersal in the brown garden snail Cornu aspersum [PDF]
Population Ecology, 2013 AbstractDispersal decisions are often condition‐dependent, influenced by the interaction of individual phenotype and environmental conditions. Terrestrial Gastropods are simultaneous hermaphrodites, a reproductive system rarely studied in the context of dispersal.
