The identity, distribution, and impacts of non-native apple snails in the continental United States
TLDR
Clarifying species identifications permits a more accurate assessment of introduction histories and distributions, and provides a very different picture of the tempo and pattern of invasions than was inferred when the three species with channeled sutures were considered one.

Out of South America: multiple origins of non‐native apple snails in Asia
TLDR
Parsimony networks and mismatch distributions indicate that the non‐native ranges of the two most widespread species, P. canaliculata and P. insularum, probably result from multiple introductions, which may explain the success and rapid spread of these two species.

Evolution of Mirror Images by Sexually Asymmetric Mating Behavior in Hermaphroditic Snails
TLDR
Sexual asymmetry is the key to understanding the accelerated chiral evolution in high‐spired pulmonates and positive frequency‐dependent selection is relaxed, and reversal alleles persist longer in populations of tall‐shelled species.
