Molecular phylogenetic analysis of Punctoidea (Gastropoda, Stylommatophora) [PDF]

Zoosystematics and Evolution, 2020
A phylogenetic analysis using a combination of mitochondrial (COI, 16S) and nuclear markers (ITS2, 28S) indicated that Punctoidea, as previously interpreted, is polyphyletic.

Phylogenetic Position of African Punctoid Snails (Stylommatophora, Punctoidea, Trachycystinae)

Taxonomy, 2022
The punctoid land snail family Charopidae, as currently defined, is a paraphyletic assemblage of taxa with Gondwanan distribution. It is represented in Africa largely by the pinwheels (genus Trachycystis and allies) and afrodontas (genus Afrodonta and ...

A second record of Selenochlamys (Stylommatophora: Trigonochlamydidae) from Crimea [PDF]

Malacologica Bohemoslovaca, 2015
A live specimen of Selenochlamys was collected in a cave on the Ai-Petri massif of the Crimean Mountains in 2014. It is described and compared with the first Crimean specimen that was collected in 1989 on the Babugan massif.

Evolution of Duplicated Hox Gene Clusters in Land Snails and Slugs. [PDF]

J Exp Zool B Mol Dev Evol
Molluscs of the order Stylommatophora underwent an ancient genome duplication. We show that stylommatophoran snails and slugs have two broken and incomplete Hox gene clusters; HoxA generally has 9 genes, HoxB usually has 7 genes. After duplication of an ancestral 11‐gene Hox cluster, there was patchwork retention of duplicated genes.

Mitochondrial Genomes of Three Species of the Family Camaenidae (Gastropoda: Stylommatophora): Structural Features, Codon Usage Patterns, and Phylogenetic Implications. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
(1) The complete mitochondrial genomes of three species within the family Camaenidae were sequenced and annotated; (2) Mitochondrial characteristics and codon usage patterns of the Camaenidae genome were compared and analyzed; (3) The phylogenetic relationship of Camaenidae was reconstructed.

Artificial Pond Habitats Placed in an Australian Berry Farm Support Invertebrate Diversity Including Pollinating Flies. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigated whether small, artificial ponds deployed within a commercial farm can function as microhabitats supporting diverse invertebrate communities. We recorded 40 invertebrate taxa from nine orders utilising the ponds, including honey bees, lady beetles and spiders, as well as three species of eristaline hoverflies.

Molecular phylogeny of the Orthurethra (Panpulmonata: Stylommatophora)

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2021
AbstractWe have undertaken a molecular analysis of the Orthurethra, one of the major groups of stylommatophoran land snails and slugs. Approximately 4000 nucleotides of the rRNA gene cluster [5.8S, internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) and almost the full-length large subunit (LSU; 28S) gene] were sequenced for 40 orthurethran genera belonging to 19 ...
