Tuning gastropod locomotion: Modeling the influence of mucus rheology on the cost of crawling [PDF]

, 2006
Common gastropods such as snails crawl on a solid substrate by propagating muscular waves of shear stress on a viscoelastic mucus. Producing the mucus accounts for the largest component in the gastropod's energy budget, more than twenty times the amount ...

Terrestrial gastropod responses to an ecosystem-level calcium manipulation in a northern hardwood forest [PDF]

, 2007
The effects of acid deposition on soil calcium (Ca), and in turn on land snail populations, have been of heightened concern for several decades. We compiled a 10 year record (1997–2006) of gastropod abundance on two small watersheds at the Hubbard Brook ...

Sensory innervation of the ovotestis in the snailHelix aspersa [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2003
SUMMARYBecause oviposition in the land snail Helix aspersa is a metabolically expensive process coupled to a high fixed cost, one expects oviposition to occur only when the clutch size surpasses a minimum value at which the reproductive benefit exceeds the cost. We propose that neural innervation of the gonad allows H.

Learning in the land snail (Helix aspersa Müller) [PDF]

Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1974
A group of two experiments are discussed which demonstrate avoidance learning in land snails. Experiment I utilized the snail’s negative geotaxis and its chemoreceptive characteristics and required the snail to climb a vertical pole which contained a quinine-saturated loop of thread at the top.
