Abstract The Ryukyu Islands, an island chain in southwestern Japan, originated from land
masses that separated from the Eurasian continent due to the formation of sea barriers …

The evolutionary conflicts between viviparous reproductive mode and skeleton shape may
occur whenever the space available for embryo development or delivery is limited by hard …

The morphology‐based species delimitation of the land snail genus Formosana
(Clausiliidae) was questioned, due to the high intraspecific variability and interspecific …

We have sequenced, assembled, and analyzed the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes
and transcriptomes of Potamopyrgus estuarinus and Potamopyrgus kaitunuparaoa, two …

The little-known western Eurasian taxa of the Phaedusinae (land snail family Clausiliidae)
are Tertiary relicts, which are widely separated geographically from the rest of the subfamily …

 Abstract This study presents a complete species list of the door snails inhabiting Myanmar,
updated to now include 33 taxa, and provides taxonomic notes together with a re-description …

When seldom life history events serendipitously get documented by exceptional
preservation in the fossil record, a unique telescopic opportunity arises for interpreting …

The family Clausiliidae was proposed as a model for studying the diversity of breeding
biology in land snails. This study assembled a nearly complete mitogenome (15,417 bp) for …

ABSTRACT Family Clausiliidae (door-snails), which includes oviparous, embryo-retaining
and viviparous species, can be a model group for studies on the evolution of reproductive …
