Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Islands harbour unique biodiversity, and depending on their geological origin, they have fundamentally different colonisation histories: continental islands may contain relict faunas shaped by vicariance and sporadic gene flow, whereas oceanic islands must have been colonised across open seas, often through long‐distance dispersal events ...

Dispersion of freshwater gastropods
, 2011 Freshwater gastropods (Mollusca: Gastropoda) belong to two tradional taxonomic groups: prosobranchs (Prosobranchia) and pulmonates (Pulmonata). Most of these molluscs are characterized by low vagility.

Abandoned Seabird Eggs as a Calcium Source for Terrestrial Gastropods
, 2007 Birds’ use of terrestrial gastropods to supplement calcium for egg formation has been well documented, but the reverse, gastropods using avian eggshells as a calcium source, has not been recorded previously.

Why do snails have hairs? A Bayesian inference of character evolution
, 2005 Background: Costly structures need to represent an adaptive advantage in order to be maintained over evolutionary times. Contrary to many other conspicuous shell ornamentations of gastropods, the haired shells of several Stylommatophoran land snails ...

A neuro‐behavioural model of neophobia
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1863-1876, August 2026.ABSTRACT Fear can be defined as the internal neurological state that releases a repertoire of behaviours an animal performs to reduce the effect of an aversive factor. Neophobia, the fear of novelty, is a fundamental behavioural trait observed across a wide range of species from arthropods to humans.

The Chemistry of Marine Pulmonate Gastropods
, 2006 Secondary metabolites from pulmonate molluscs of the genera Siphonaria, Onchidium, and Trimusculus are described. Siphonaria and Onchidium biosynthesize mostly propionate-based metabolites whereas Trimusculus yields diterpene derivatives with a single type of labdane skeleton.

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT A new species of jewel beetle, Temognatha sundholmi Lang, sp. nov., is described from the Great Victoria Desert in South Australia. A broader investigation, using mtDNA COI ‘barcode’ sequences from 178 specimens representing 54 buprestid species, places the new species with Temognatha flavocincta (Gory & Laporte, 1838) in the informal ...

From sea to land and beyond : new insights into the evolution of euthyneuran Gastropoda (Mollusca)
, 2008 Background The Euthyneura are considered to be the most successful and diverse group of Gastropoda. Phylogenetically, they are riven with controversy.

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 967-974, August 2026.Geographic distribution of seed dispersal studies by disperser guild. Summary Seed dispersal is critical for long‐term ecosystem resilience. However, excessive compartmentalisation of research into particular disperser guilds (e.g. birds) hampers our understanding of their relative contributions to overall seed dispersal, risking erroneous conclusions ...
