Fine mapping of the pond snail left-right asymmetry (chirality) locus using RAD-Seq and fibre-FISH (2013)
Journal Article

The left-right asymmetry of snails, including the direction of shell coiling, is determined by the delayed effect of a maternal gene on the chiral twist that takes place during early embryonic cell divisions. Yet, despite being a well-established cla... Read More about Fine mapping of the pond snail left-right asymmetry (chirality) locus using RAD-Seq and fibre-FISH.

Irish Cepaea nemoralis land snails have a cryptic Franco-Iberian origin that is most easily explained by the movements of mesolithic humans (2013)
Journal Article

The origins of flora and fauna that are only found in Ireland and Iberia, but which are absent from intervening countries, is one of the enduring questions of biogeography. As Southern French, Iberian and Irish populations of the land snail Cepaea ne...

RAD-Seq derived markers flank the shell colour and banding loci of the Cepaea nemoralis supergene (2013)
Journal Article

Studies on the classic shell colour and banding polymorphism of the land snail Cepaea played a crucial role in establishing the importance of natural selection in maintaining morphological variation. Cepaea is also a pre-eminent model for ecologica... Read More about RAD-Seq derived markers flank the shell colour and banding loci of the Cepaea nemoralis supergene.
