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 ...

Molecular phylogeny of the panpulmonate groups Stylommatophora and Hygrophila [PDF]
, 2020 The phylogenetic relationships at the base of the stylommatophoran land snails and slugs have proven to be controversial, particularly the position of the Scolodontidae in relation to other stylommatophoran taxa. Likewise, the phylogenetic relationships within the hygrophilan freshwater snails and limpets are uncertain.

Evolution of Duplicated Hox Gene Clusters in Land Snails and Slugs. [PDF]
J Exp Zool B Mol Dev EvolMolluscs 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.

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