Little is known about the evolutionary history of Helix, despite the fact that it includes the
largest land snails in the western Palaearctic, some of which (eg H. pomatia Linnaeus …

High-throughput sequencing has enabled the comprehensive genetic exploration of
biological diversity, especially by using natural history collections to study hard-to-find …

Sequences of mitochondrial genes revolutionized the understanding of animal diversity and
continue to be an important tool in biodiversity research. In the tribe Helicini, a prominent …

The systematics and biogeographical history of the Eastern Mediterranean and
