Evolution of microgastropods (Ellobioidea, Carychiidae): integrating taxonomic, phylogenetic and evolutionary hypotheses [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Current biodiversity patterns are considered largely the result of past climatic and tectonic changes. In an integrative approach, we combine taxonomic and phylogenetic hypotheses to analyze temporal and geographic diversification of epigean (

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract The development of renewable energy sources is important in order to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Waste cooking oil (WCO) is a promising feedstock for biodiesel production through transesterification. Heterogeneous bifunctional catalysts offer a sustainable alternative to conventional homogeneous bases such ...

Species diversity of land snails in limestone hills in Loei and Nong Bua Lamphu Provinces [PDF]
Warasan Witthayasat Lae Theknoloyi Mahawitthayalai Mahasarakham, 2020 Limestone hills are a popular places that researchers use to study species diversity of land snails. Limestone hills provide not only a source of calcium carbonate that is important for shell formation, but also provides various types of microhabitat ...

Supergenes in polymorphic land snails [PDF]
Heredity, 1976 The colour and banding of the shell of Partula suturalis are controlled by a single locus (M) with a series of at least six alleles. MX, giving apex as a homozygote, is dominant to MF1, giving frenata, which is dominant to the other alleles. MF2 is similar to MF1 except in its relation with MA.

Bridging the Gap: Student Voices on Recruitment and Retention in Ecology
The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, EarlyView.Abstract Students entering ecology and environmental science face a variety of challenges, including limited awareness of career paths, lack of mentorship, and difficulties connecting with peers and faculty. These challenges are often amplified for students from marginalized backgrounds, who may also encounter microaggressions, underrepresentation, and

Antibacterial and Antifungal Activities of Proteins Extracted from Seven Different Snails
Applied Sciences, 2018 Snails have been used both as a food and as a treatment for a variety of medicinal conditions. In this study, seven different snail proteins were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity. Fresh water and land snails of seven different live species were

Genomic signatures of host-associated divergence and adaptation in a coral-eating snail, Coralliophila violacea (Kiener, 1836). [PDF]
, 2020 The fluid nature of the ocean, combined with planktonic dispersal of marine larvae, lowers physical barriers to gene flow. However, divergence can still occur despite gene flow if strong selection acts on populations occupying different ecological niches.
