Origin and diversification of Lake Ohrids endemic acroloxid limpets: the role of geography and ecology [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Ancient Lake Ohrid, located on the Albania-Macedonia border, is the most biodiverse freshwater lake in Europe. However, the processes that gave rise to its extraordinary endemic biodiversity, particularly in the species-rich gastropods, are ...

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021 Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

The effect of temperature, soil nitrogen and gastropods on _Thuja plicata_ growth and reproduction [PDF]
, 2010 Humans are changing the environment. For example, nitrogen deposition, rising temperatures, and non-native species are influencing plant communities. These changes have and will continue to affect trees, thus, understanding the response of species to ...

Sexual selection gradients change over time in a simultaneous hermaphrodite
eLife, 2017 Sexual selection is generally predicted to act more strongly on males than on females. The Darwin-Bateman paradigm predicts that this should also hold for hermaphrodites.

THE EVOLUTION OF APOSEMATISM IN MARINE GASTROPODS [PDF]
Evolution, 1991 In a recent review of the literature on marine gastropods, Rosenberg (1989) concludes that in this group,".. . as in the lepidopterans, . . . individual selection is the predominant mode of evolution of warning coloration." Rosenberg's analysis raises interesting issues concerning the evolution of aposematism generally, and in marine gastropods in ...
