Ancient oceanic archipelagos of similar geological age are expected to accrue comparable
numbers of endemic lineages with identical life history strategies, especially if the islands …

Phylogenetic relationships of Camaenidae, a diverse family of pulmonate land snails with a
disjunct distribution in Australasia and Central America, were investigated using a cladistic …

By complementing two independent systematic studies published recently on the Western
Australian land snail Amplirhagada, we compare levels of morphological variation in shells …

Aim We aimed to understand how biogeographical processes and moisture niche ecology
contributed to the spatio‐temporal diversification dynamics in the land snail genus Vertigo …

Gastropods belong to a hyper-diverse clade of molluscs and encompass limpets, slugs and
snails. Interestingly, gastropods have effectively colonized land, freshwaters and marine …

Endemic land snails of the genus Mandarina of the oceanic Bonin Islands offer an example
of habitat and character divergence among closely related species. The molecular …

Abstract The radiation of Giant African Snails in sub-Saharan Africa is critically examined for
the first time. New molecular evidence reveals phylogenetic groups that display distinct …

Many molecular phylogenetic studies conclude by reporting discoveries of new “cryptic”
species. However, these putative biological entities are typically left unverified outside of the …

Abstract The Japanese Archipelago harbours high diversity of endemic bradybaenid land
snails. However, there have been few systematic studies of these snails. The resolution of …

Gastropod shells have experienced divergent, convergent, and parallel evolution at various
taxonomical levels. In this paper, we attempt to elucidate the patterns of conchological …
