Pleistocene environments, climate, and human activity in Britain during Marine Isotope Stage 7: insights from Oak Tree Fields, Cerney Wick, Gloucestershire

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 840-865, August 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Investigations at Oak Tree Fields, Cerney Wick, Gloucestershire, in western England have revealed a sequence of fluvial deposits dating from Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage (MIS) 7 to 5. At the base of the sequence, a series of gravel and sand facies were deposited, initially as part of a meandering river.

The role of Anatolia in the origin of the Caucasus biodiversity hotspot illustrated by land snails in the genus Oxychilus

Cladistics, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 83-102, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Several taxa that are distributed in the Caucasus and/or the adjacent Pontic Mountains also have representatives in the East Mediterranean region. These disjunctions could have been caused by long‐distance dispersal or be the result of extinctions in Central Anatolia caused by the aridification of the Anatolian Plateau during the Pliocene.

Libania rhodia sp. nov., a new predatory semislug from Rhodes (Gastropoda: Oxychilidae), and its phylogenetic and biogeographic relationships

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 59, Issue 8, Page 1816-1823, November 2021., 2021
Abstract A new predatory semislug, Libania rhodia sp. nov. (Oxychilidae: Daudebardiinae), is described from Rhodes. Whereas rudimentary shells of L. rhodia were previously identified with Lotharia cretica from Crete, the investigation of the genitalia demonstrated that it is a distinct species that differs from L.

On the present habitats and ecology of Vertigo pseudosubstriata Ložek, 1954 (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Vertiginidea) in Central Asia and its distribution history in Central and Eastern Europe

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 1090-1100, August 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT The small terrestrial gastropod Vertigo pseudosubstriata Ložek, 1954 is one of the rarest glacial indicator species in the Pleistocene of Central and Eastern Europe. In all, this species has been found at only about 15 sites in Europe. V. pseudosubstriata was initially described as a fossil in Central Europe and was discovered only later alive

Evaluation of terrestrial gastropods as possible intermediate hosts of Gurltia paralysans in southern Chile

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2021
Gurltia paralysans is the causal agent of gurltiosis in domestic cats in South America. Although the life cycle of G. paralysans is unknown, it is thought that gastropods could act as intermediate hosts (IHs), as is the case for several nematodes in the ...

Influence of slug defence mechanisms on the prey preferences of the carabid predator Pterostichus melanarius (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2004
Two-choice experiments on prey preferences of a generalist predator Pterostichus melanarius, and five species of slug prey, were conducted in the laboratory. Different preferences of P. melanarius for each of the slug species are described.

An integrative approach to the taxonomy and systematics within the genus Montenegrina Boettger, 1877 (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Clausiliidae)

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 58, Issue 3, Page 691-808, August 2020., 2020
Taxonomy and systematics of Montenegrina are revised based on genital anatomical investigation combined with shell morphology and DNA sequence data. This represents a new approach to the family Clausiliidae. Montenegrina revealed astonishing variability in genital morphology.
