Complete mitochondrial genomes of the slugs Deroceras laeve (Agriolimacidae) and Ambigolimax valentianus (Limacidae) provide insights into the phylogeny of Stylommatophora (Mollusca, Gastropoda) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2023 In this study, we sequenced two complete mitogenomes from Deroceras laeve and Ambigolimax valentianus. The mitogenome of Ambigolimax valentianus represented the first such data from the family Limacidae.

Terrestrial molluscs of Pemba Island, Zanzibar, Tanzania, and its status as an “oceanic” island [PDF]
ZooKeys, 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. Here, Pemba’s terrestrial mollusc (&

Mitochondrial genomes of Meghimatium pictum and Succinea arundinetorum provide insight into the gene order rearrangement within Stylommatophora (Gastropoda, Panpulmonata) [PDF]
BMC ZoologyIn this study, we report the whole mitochondrial genomes of two species, Meghimatium pictum and Succinea arundinetorum, which belong to Stylommatophora, one of the most abundant orders of Gastropoda. The total sizes of M. pictum and S.

From morphology to molecules: a combined source approach to untangle the taxonomy of Clessinia (Gastropoda, Odontostomidae), endemic land snails from the Dry Chaco ecoregion [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Land gastropods of the Dry Chaco merit special attention because they comprise a highly diverse but barely studied group. Clessinia Doering, 1875 are typical inhabitants of this ecoregion.
