What Are the Origins of Ecdysteroids in Gastropods?
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1995Terrestrial gastropods contain ecdysteroids, the origins of which are unknown. Whether they are synthesized by the animals or they arise from the diet is an open question. To address this problem, labeled cholesterol and various molecules which are efficiently converted into ecdysone by arthropods were tested as possible ecdysone precursors in ...

Quaternary Structure of Gastropod Haemocyanin
Nature, 1972Three-dimensional image reconstruction shows haemocyanin to be made of three distinct parts. At the ends of the particle are a five-fold “collar” and a central “cap”. The cylindrical wall consists of sixty dimers which may be correlated with 120 oxygen binding sites.

Abstract Gastropods (snails and slugs) constitute by far the largest and most diverse class of Mollusca, with an estimated 40 000 marine, 3000 freshwater and 24 000 terrestrial species (Solem 1974). They are characterized by a distinct head with eyes and tentacles, and a usually coiled shell.

Prädation durch molluskivore, bohrende Organismen hat großen Einfluss auf die Zusammensetzung einer Gemeinschaft und die Biodiversität von Regionen. In dieser Studie wurden Bohrspuren auf Gastropoden untersucht, um zeitliche und räumliche Muster von Prädation in der Nördlichen Adria zu verstehen.

The proteolytic activity of the gastropod egg
Experimental Cell Research, 1957Abstract Two proteolytic enzymes, cathepsin III and leucine aminopeptidase, have been identified in the gastropod egg. The activity of cathepsin III was followed throughout the period of embryonic development.

Locomotion: The Cost of Gastropod Crawling
Science, 1980The power of locomotion of a terrestrial slug rises linearly with crawling speed. The metabolic cost of movement is 904 joules per kilogram per meter, considerably more than that reported for other forms of locomotion. This high cost is primarily attributable to the production of the pedal mucus by which the slug adheres to the substratum.
