THE ADAPTIVE SIGNIFICANCE OF GASTROPOD TORSION [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 1966
Unique among mollusks, the Gastropoda are characterized by a curious asymmetry, resulting from a rotation of the visceral hump and shell. Thus in the earlier stages of their embryonic development, gastropods have the same arrangement of parts as other mollusks, with the rudiments of the mantle cavity, gills, coelomic ducts, and associated structures at

Gastropod ontogenetic torsion: Developmental remnants of an ancient evolutionary change in body plan

The Journal of Experimental Zoology, 2003
AbstractA dramatic morphogenetic movement (‘ontogenetic torsion’) during the development of gastropods has been proposed as a recapitulation of the original developmental departure that established the novel gastropod body plan. Nevertheless, speculative literature about ontogenetic torsion and its evolutionary significance has far outstripped ...

Larval Muscle Contraction Fails to Produce Torsion in a Trochoidean Gastropod

Biological Bulletin, 2001
The causes and effects of ontogenetic torsion in gastropods have been debated intensely for more than a century (1-19). Occurring rapidly and very early in development, torsion figures prominently in shaping both the larval and adult body plans. We show that mechanical explanations of the ontogenetic event that invoke contraction of larval retractor ...

Ontogenetic torsion in two basal gastropods occurs without shell attachments for larval retractor muscles

Evolution & Development, 2002
SUMMARY Results of this study on two species of vetigastropods contradict the long‐standing hypothesis, originally proposed by Garstang (1929), that the larval retractor muscles power the morphogenetic movement of ontogenetic torsion in all basal gastropods.
