The mode of development of marine invertebrates has major effects on dispersal and
population structure. Species without a feeding larval stage (direct developers) are generally …

The giant edible Placostylus snails of New Caledonia occur across a wide range of
environmental conditions, from the dry southwest to the wetter central and northeastern …

Intertidal species inhabiting Galician rocky shores are exposed to a strong vertical gradient
in environmental and ecological conditions. Such a gradient is determined by a combination …

Mode of development has been inferred from protoconch morphology in more than thirty
families of shelled gastropods from the deep sea. Planktotrophic development is …

Three distantly related genera of land snails, Amplirhagada Iredale, 1933, Quistrachia
Iredale, 1939, and Westraltrachia Iredale, 1933, overlap in distributions only in the Napier …

In order to study evolutionary pattern and process, we need to be able to accurately identify
species and the evolutionary lineages from which they are derived. Determining the …

Based on the study of Early Paleozoic protoconchs, we (Nutzel et al. 2006) concluded that
planktotrophic mollusc larvae are unknown from the Cambrian but became common in the …

Placostylus is a genus of large terrestrial pulmonate snails distributed in the western Pacific,
