Trochulus oreinos oreinos and T. oreinos scheerpeltzi are two land snail taxa endemic to the Northeastern Austrian Alps, which have been regarded as subspecies of the highly variable, widespread land snail T. hispidus. We analysed these three taxa morphologically and genetically to evaluate whether a delimitation between them is possible and, if so, to resolve their phylogenetic relationships. Shell morphological results revealed high similarity between the two T. oreinos taxa, and that they…

Differentiation in the Trochulus hispidus complex and related taxa (Pulmonata: Hygromiidae): morphology, ecology and their relation to phylogeography

The morphology and ecology of representatives of the taxonomically ambiguous genus Trochulus, which comprises several genetically highly divergent mitochondrial clades, is investigated and it is suggested that its subspecies spent at least the last glaciation in or close to the presently inhabited areas.

Genetic and morphological studies of species status for poorly known endemic Trochulus phorochaetius (Bourguignat, 1864) (Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Hygromiidae), and its comparison with closely related taxa

The assignment of distinctive morphospecies, and thus existing taxonomic names, to genetically defined evolutionary lineages is premature and arbitrary to some extent at this stage.

Redescription of the western Balkan species Xerocampylaea waldemari and its phylogenetic relationships to other Urticicolini (Gastropoda: Hygromiidae)

Evaluated taxonomic status of the endemic Balkan species Fruticicola waldemari shows that this species is closely related to the representatives of Xerocampylaea, including a conchologically similar and partly sympatric species, X. erjaveci.

Morphological similarity and molecular divergence of Trochulus striolatus and T. montanus, and their relationship to sympatric congeners (Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Hygromiidae)

The canonical discriminant analysis (CDA) of shell characters confirmed strong similarity between the species and revealed high intraspecific variability of the shell morphology, which allowed the distinguishing of some populations as two extremely distinct forms, while simultaneously making it difficult to discriminate between the two species.

Phylogeography of the land snail genus Orcula (Orculidae, Stylommatophora) with emphasis on the Eastern Alpine taxa: speciation, hybridization and morphological variation

The present study confirms the importance of the Alps as biodiversity hotspot and origin center of land snail diversity and the species diversity in the subgenus Orcula was likely promoted by Miocene to Pliocene palaeogeographic events and the insular distribution of preferred limestone areas.

Speciation in sympatric species of land snails from the genus Trochulus (Gastropoda, Hygromiidae)

The identification and designation of land snail species in the genus Trochulus on the basis of shell characteristics are problematic because of their great phenotypic plasticity. Some genetic…

The Influence of Climate on Shell Variation in Trochulus striolatus (C. Pfeiffer, 1828) (Gastropoda: Hygromiidae) and Its Implications for Subspecies Taxonomy

The synergetic interactions between seasonality, temperature and moisture best explain the size variation in T. striolatus resulting from the influence of local environmental and/or climate factors and there is no sufficient justification for subspecies recognition and the subspecific epithets for T.striolatus should be discarded.

Paraphyly and budding speciation in the hairy snail (Pulmonata, Hygromiidae)

The phylogenetic analyses based on 12S, 16S and COI sequences show that the T. hispidus complex is paraphyletic with respect to several other morphologically well‐defined Trochulus species, but the results of a parallel morphometric investigation did not reveal any differentiation between these clades, although the overall variability is quite high.

It is concluded that T. geyeri could quite successfully persist in cryptic refugia during major climatic changes in the past, despite of a restricted capacity of individuals to actively avoid unfavourable conditions.

The revision of the genus Trochulus Chemnitz, 1786 is based on conchological and anatomical characters of 4,377 adult specimens (3,190 dry shells and 1,187 alcohol-preserved snails) from 303 localities, resulting in an incompletely resolved cladogram.

Phenotypic evolution and hidden speciation in Candidula unifasciata ssp. (Helicellinae, Gastropoda) inferred by 16S variation and quantitative shell traits

Analysis of 19 populations of the conchologically variable land snail Candidula unifasciata from across the species range for variation in quantitative shell traits and at the mitochondrial 16S ribosomal (r)DNA locus revealed significant correlations between environmental factors and certain quantitativeshell traits, whose potential adaptational values are discussed.

A species delimitation approach in the Trochulus sericeus/hispidus complex reveals two cryptic species within a sharp contact zone

The integrative approach using multiple lines of evidence supported the hypothesis that the investigated Trochulus lineages are reproductively isolated species, but in the small contact area, however, the lineages hybridise to a limited extent.

Mitochondrial differentiation in a polymorphic land snail: evidence for Pleistocene survival within the boundaries of permafrost

The clear genetic differentiation and the patchy pattern of haplotype distribution suggest that colonization of formerly unsuitable habitats was mainly achieved from multiple populations from within the permafrost area.

Intraspecific diversity of mitochondrial DNA in the land snail Euhadra peliomphala (Bradybaenidae)

The sequence divergences and geological ages of the Izu peninsula and its mountains suggest that the divergence rate of mitochondrial 16SrRNA sequences of this species is extremely rapid, approximately 10% per million years.

Extreme divergence of mitochondrial DNA within species of pulmonate land snails

It is found that a classic organism in ecological genetics, Cepaea nemoralis, has the most extreme intraspecific variation and polymorphism so far recorded, and that at least one other pulmonate land mollusc also has very high levels of mitochondrial diversity.

A distinction between the historical and selective interpretations is illustrated using one of the best-studied species, Cepaea nemoralis, and the example of “area effects,” and studies that have compared patterns of morphological and molecular variation are examined.
