Ordinary offspring of scalariform Cornu aspersum (O. F. Müller, 1774) partners [PDF]
Malacologica Bohemoslovaca, 2018 From a clutch of scalariform specimens of Cornu aspersum (O. F. Müller, 1774) 53 ordinary shaped juveniles were hatched. This observation supports the hypothesis about a terratological origin of scalariform shells.
