Hybridization and recurrent evolution of left-right reversal in the land snail genus Schileykula (Orculidae, Pulmonata). [PDF]
J Zool Syst Evol Res, 2020 The land snail genus Schileykula comprises eight species, distributed mainly in arid limestone areas in Turkey. We performed phylogenetic analyses based on three mitochondrial genes (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1, 12S, and 16S) and a section of the nuclear H4/H3 histone gene cluster.

The Girdled Snail Hygromia cinctella (Draparnaud, 1801) new to the Czech Republic [PDF]
Malacologica Bohemoslovaca, 2011 The Girdled Snail (Hygromia cinctella (Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Hygromiidae)) is recorded for the first time in the Czech Republic in Prague-Holešovice. Its occurrence in the Czech Republic has been expected since this terrestrial snail has been dispersing

Early land plants: Plentiful but neglected nutritional resources for herbivores?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 In this paper, we explore the unknown reason(s) why herbivores rarely seem to attack early land plants like mosses and ferns. Our study, in which we looked at the performance of an arthropod and a gastropod on 15 species of such plants, yields surprising results that disqualify some of the common notions about early land plants.

Land snail fauna of the Humosu Secular Forest (Suceava County, Romania); a new locality of Serrulina serrulata (L. Pfeiffer, 1847) (Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Clausiliidae) [PDF]
Malacologica Bohemoslovaca, 2011 The paper reports faunistic data on the land snail fauna of the protected beech forest reserve of Fagetul Secular Humosu (Suceava County, Romania). We found several species with Carpathian distribution, and the study area is probably the easternmost ...

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.

Extinction risk is linked to lifestyle in freshwater gastropods
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 12, Page 2357-2368, December 2021., 2021 Abstract Aim Freshwater ecosystems and their biota are severely endangered by global change today, and predicted extinction levels are skyrocketing for many taxa. Most studies have focused on entire clades, while approaches testing for selective extinction risk with respect to ecological traits are rare. As studies are typically based on modern faunas,

Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 861-876, July 2021., 2021 Macroinvertebrate communities are crucial for biodiversity monitoring and assessment of ecological status in stream ecosystems. Here, we use environmental DNA metabarcoding of filtered water samples collected in both spring and autumn from five streams in Denmark to address seasonal turnover in community composition of stream macroinvertebrates.
