Terrestrial molluscs of Pemba Island, Zanzibar, Tanzania, and its status as an "oceanic" island [PDF]
, 2010 Pemba is thought to have had a longer and/or stronger history of isolation than its better-known counterpart, Unguja. The extent to which the biota support this hypothesis of greater oceanicity have been debated.

, 2022 A survey conducted during the years 2019 and 2021 in Phaselis found 22 species of snails and one species of semi-slug. The most abundant taxa were Albinaria lycica phaselis, Metafruticicola schuberti, Orculella ignorata and Rumina saharica. The scarcity of larger snails (Cornu, Eobania and Zonites species) was noteworthy. The anatomy of a specimen of M.

A phylogeny of the land snails (Gastropoda: Pulmonata) [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2001 We have undertaken the first large-scale molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Stylommatophora. Sequences of the ribosomal RNA gene-cluster were examined in 104 species of snails and slugs from 50 families, encompassing all the currently recognized major groups. It allows an independent test of the present classification based on morphology.
