A comparison of survivourship and function (grazing and behaviour) of three gastropod species used as clean-up crew for the marine aquarium trade [PDF]
Several million gastropods are collected each year for the marine ornamental trade to graze on algae detrimental to aquarium species, however, little is known about popular species' suitability to perform this clean-up crew role.

Neurochemical correlates of aestivation: Changes in the levels of glycogen and glucose in the cerebral, pleuropedal and visceral ganglia of the Indian apple snail,Pila globosa [PDF]
Changes in glyoogen and glucose levels of cerebral, pleuropedal and visceral ganglia during aestivation inPila globosa were investigated. In general, a decrease in the glycogen level of cerebral and visceral ganglia, and in the glucose level of ...

Correlations between speciation of Zn in sediment and Zn concentrations in different soft tissues of the gastropod Mollusc Telescopium telescopium collected from intertidal areas of Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]
The aim of this study was to relate the Zn level in the different tissues of Telescopium telescopium to the Zn levels of surface sediment of the gastropod habitat.

Immune-related genes in gastropods and bivalves: a comparative overview [PDF]
The biological diversity of molluscs and their adaptation to highly diverse environments offer a unique opportunity for studying the evolution of the innate immune system in invertebrates. This review provides an updated account about the progresses made

The linked units of 5S rDNA and U1 snDNA of razor shells (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Pharidae) [PDF]
[Abstract] The linkage between 5S ribosomal DNA and other multigene families has been detected in many eukaryote lineages, but whether it provides any selective advantage remains unclear.

Avoidance of Canopy Gaps by a Common Land Snail [PDF]
Because canopy gaps are characterized by elevated temperature and decreased humidity relative to closed-canopy forest, terrestrial gastropods may be exposed to greater desiccation stress in gaps than in undisturbed forest.
