The Architecture of the Physid Musculature ofPhysa acutaDraparnaud, 1805 (Gastropoda: Physidae) [PDF]
ABSTRACT The basommatophoran family Physidae possesses a remarkable but little known set of muscles called the “physid musculature”. Using Physa acuta as a model, this musculature was shown to be anatomically complex and associated in places with the columellar muscle.

A Molecular Phylogeny of Physidae (Gastropoda: Basommatophora) Based on Mitochondrial DNA Sequences [PDF]
The family Physidae (Pulmonata: Basommatophora) is a group of freshwater hermaphroditic snails that have a Holarctic distribution with extension into Central and South America. Despite considerable literature justifying various taxonomic schemes and groupings, no classification has been proposed using modern phylogenetic methods. In an effort to expand

Ascertaining the Life History and Thermal Preferences and Tolerances of the Hot Spring Snail Physella wrighti Te and Clarke (Gastropoda: Physidae) [PDF]
Physella wrighti Te and Clarke, 1985 is an Endangered freshwater snail endemic to the Liard Hot Springs. The thermal characteristics of its environment suggest water temperature (WT) is essential in the snail’s survival. Initially, P. wrighti’s preferred
