Effect of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes in the Snail Cornu aspersum

Environments
The progressive commercial deployment of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) raises concerns about their terrestrial ecotoxicity. We exposed adult Cornu aspersum (150 snails; five replicates of three animals per time-point) to 50 mg L−1 MWCNT-dosed Lactuca sativa for 30 days and quantified five mechanistic biomarkers alongside survival.

Context‐Dependent Physiological Responses in Scurria Limpets Are Not Associated With Latitudinal Gradients or Biogeographic Breaks Across the South‐Eastern Pacific

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study explores the geographic variation of different phenotypic traits in five Scurria limpet species along the Southeastern Pacific, revealing some significant trait–locality relationships but no correlation with genetic structure. ABSTRACT Biogeographic breaks represent crucial ecological junctures where species encounter novel environments that

Spatial Distribution of Straw‐Colored Fruit Bats (Eidolon helvum) Roosts in Obafemi Awolowo University

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
This study investigates the spatial distribution and roosting preferences of Straw‐Colored Fruit Bats (Eidolon helvum) within the Obafemi Awolowo University campus in Nigeria. Using field surveys and GIS analysis, we identified significant roosting sites predominantly in Celtis zenkeri trees, highlighting the importance of tree height and canopy cover ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of the land snail Cornu aspersum (Helicidae: Mollusca): intra-specific divergence of protein-coding genes and phylogenetic considerations within Euthyneura.

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

Evolution of Duplicated Hox Gene Clusters in Land Snails and Slugs

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 6, Page 363-368, September 2025.
Molluscs of the order Stylommatophora underwent an ancient genome duplication. We show that stylommatophoran snails and slugs have two broken and incomplete Hox gene clusters; HoxA generally has 9 genes, HoxB usually has 7 genes. After duplication of an ancestral 11‐gene Hox cluster, there was patchwork retention of duplicated genes.

Effect of Boiling on Chemical Composition of Small Brown Snail (Cornu aspersum aspersum) Meat

Annals of Animal Science
Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the changes occurring as a result of boiling (100°C, 1 h) small brown snail ( Cornu aspersum aspersum ) meat in relation to its proximate composition, calcium, phosphorus and cholesterol content, as well as the profile of fatty ...

Slow Invaders Going Fast: New Data of Exotic Slugs (Gastropoda: Eupulmonata) From Spain

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Morphological and genetical confirmation of the occurrence of two non‐native terrestrial slugs in the Iberian Peninsula (northern Spain): Ambigolimax parvipenis and Boettgerilla pallens. ABSTRACT Invasive species are a major concern in the current scenario of biodiversity loss. Most studies focus on vertebrates and insects, while other groups have been

Comparison of Proximate and Amino Acid Composition between Farmed and Wild Land Snails (Cornu aspersum Muller, 1774)

, 2020
The proximate and amino acid compositions of the visceral mass and pedal mass of wild and farmed land snail Cornu aspersum were compared. The lipid in all body parts of farmed snail was significantly higher than all body parts of wild snail.

Exploring Ant‐Mollusk Interactions: Insights From Southern Spain

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
This study reports new data about ant‐mollusk interactions from accidental field observations, a quantitative analysis of the snail shells found in 16 Messor ant nest cleanings, and a qualitative analysis of 51 additional nests of different species. ABSTRACT Ants occupy a great variety of habitats, perform essential ecological roles, and interact with ...
