Phenotypic evolution and hidden speciation in Candidula unifasciata ssp. (Helicellinae, Gastropoda) inferred by 16S variation and quantitative shell traits [PDF]
In an effort to link quantitative morphometric information with molecular data on the population level, we have analysed 19 populations of the conchologically variable land snail Candidula unifasciata from across the species range for variation in ...

Health and sustainability: The nutritional value of snail meat
The increasing popularity of snail meat prompts research of the nutritional benefits of consuming Helix aspersa maxima cultivated in Bulgaria. With a high protein content and remarkably low fat content, snail meat is well-suited for the inclusion in ...

Influence of heat treatment on amino acid composition of snails meat
Amino acids are organic compounds that are the structural component of the protein. That is, protein is the main building material of the tissues of the body. It is needed for muscle mass growth and is indispensable in fat burning – all about amino acids,

RAEA-Heliciculture: mechanism of conservation and rural development in Andalusia [PDF]
The fast growth system is a snail rearing method with a high degree of technification. Actually, the experimental evaluation of the system is being developed by an Andalusian Network of Agrarian Research (RAEA-Heliciculture) on commercial farms.

Effect of cadmium on cytosine hydroxymethylation in gastropod hepatopancreas [PDF]
5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is an important, yet poorly understood epigenetic DNA modification, especially in invertebrates. Aberrant genome-wide 5hmC levels have been associated with cadmium (Cd) exposure in humans, but such information is lacking ...

Evidence for survival of Pleistocene climatic changes in Northern refugia by the land snail Trochoidea geyeri (Soós 1926) (Helicellinae, Stylommatophora) [PDF]
The study of organisms with restricted dispersal abilities and presence in the fossil record is particularly adequate to understand the impact of climate changes on the distribution and genetic structure of species.

Evolution der Cephalic Sensory Organs innerhalb der Opisthobranchia [PDF]
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Doktorarbeit war es, die Evolution der Kopfsinnesorgane der Opisthobranchia zu rekonstruieren. Bei den Opisthobranchia handelt es sich um eine äußerst diverse Gruppe überwiegend mariner Gastropoden innerhalb der Euthyneura.

Habitat selection in terrestrial snails and its applications to heliciculture [PDF]
Snails are employed as experimental animals in different scientific fields and their growth is a good biological indicator. Growth is mainly determined at a genetic level, although many factors biotic and abiotic may alter growth rates.
