Prey-tracking behavior and prey preferences in a tree-climbing firefly [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Prey-tracking behavior is common in snail-killing predators, but in the family Lampyridae, this behavior has been validated in only a single species even though this Coleopteran family includes many specialist snail predators.

The land snails of Lichadonisia islets (Greece)
Ecologica Montenegrina, 2021 The Lichadonisia island group is located between Maliakos and the North Evian Gulf, in central Greece. Lichadonisia is one of the few volcanic island groups of Greece, consisting mainly of lava flows. Today the islands are uninhabited with high numbers of visitors, but permanent population existed for many decades in the past.

Diversity and biotic homogenization of urban land-snail faunas in relation to habitat types and macroclimate in 32 central European cities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The effects of non-native species invasions on community diversity and biotic homogenization have been described for various taxa in urban environments, but not for land snails.

Cryptic diversity in a chirally variable land snail [PDF]
Italian Journal of Zoology, 2016 Jaminia quadridens (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Heterobranchia: Pulmonata: Stylommatophora: Enidae) is a land snail living up to 2400 m above sea level on calcareous meadow slopes. It is widely distributed in Central and Southern Europe, with two subspecies currently recognised (J. quadridens quadridens and J. quadridens elongata).

Characterisation of Reproduction-Associated Genes and Peptides in the Pest Land Snail, Theba pisana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Increased understanding of the molecular components involved in reproduction may assist in understanding the evolutionary adaptations used by animals, including hermaphrodites, to produce offspring and retain a continuation of their lineage.

A land snail's view of a fragmented landscape [PDF]
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2009 Habitat fragmentation may influence the genetic structure of populations, especially of species with low mobility. So far, these effects have been mainly studied by surveying neutral markers, and much less by looking at ecologically relevant characters.

INTRODUCED LAND SNAILS AND SLUGS IN COLOMBIA [PDF]
Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2002 Twelve species of introduced land molluscs, including seven slug species, have been found in the cold zone above 2000 m altitude in the Departamentos Cundinamarca and Boyacá, and the Distrito Especial in Colombia. The introduced land molluscs remain generally restricted to disturbed environments, from which native species are often absent.
