While the shell of the land snail Cepaea nemoralis is typically classed as yellow, pink, or brown, the reality is that colour variation is continuously distributed. To further understand the origin of the continuous variation, we used crosses of C. n...

High heteroplasmy is associated with low mitochondrial copy number and selection against non-synonymous mutations in the snail Cepaea nemoralis (2024)

Molluscan mitochondrial genomes are unusual because they show wide variation in size, radical genome rearrangements and frequently show high variation (>10%) within species. As progress in understanding this variation has been limited, we used whole...
