Quantitative measures and 3D shell models reveal interactions between bands and their position on growing snail shells (2021)
Journal Article
Jackson, H. J., Larsson, J., & Davison, A. (2021). Quantitative measures and 3D shell models reveal interactions between bands and their position on growing snail shells. Ecology and Evolution, 11(11), 6634-6648. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.7517

The nature of shell growth in gastropods is useful because it preserves the ontogeny of shape, colour, and banding patterns, making them an ideal system for understanding how inherited variation develops, is established and maintained within a popula...

Mobilizing molluscan models and genomes in biology (2021)
Journal Article
Davison, A., & Neiman, M. (2021). Mobilizing molluscan models and genomes in biology. Philosophical Transactions B: Biological Sciences, 376(1825), Article 20200163. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2020.0163

Molluscs are among the most ancient, diverse, and important of all animal taxa. Even so, no individual mollusc species has emerged as a broadly applied model system in biology. We here make the case that both perceptual and methodological barriers ha... Read More about Mobilizing molluscan models and genomes in biology.

Qualitative and quantitative methods show stability in patterns of Cepaea nemoralis shell polymorphism in the Pyrenees over five decades (2021)
Journal Article
Ramos-Gonzalez, D., & Davison, A. (2021). Qualitative and quantitative methods show stability in patterns of Cepaea nemoralis shell polymorphism in the Pyrenees over five decades. Ecology and Evolution, 11(11), 6167-6183. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.7443

Over the past century, the study of animal color has been critical in establishing some of the founding principles of biology, especially in genetics and evolution. In this regard, one of the emerging strengths of working with the land snail genus Ce...

The draft genome sequence of the grove snail Cepaea nemoralis (2021)
Journal Article
Saenko, S. V., Groenenberg, D. S., Davison, A., & Schilthuizen, M. (2021). The draft genome sequence of the grove snail Cepaea nemoralis. G3, 11(2), Article jkaa071. https://doi.org/10.1093/g3journal/jkaa071

© The Author(s) 2021. Studies on the shell color and banding polymorphism of the grove snail Cepaea nemoralis and the sister taxon Cepaea hortensis have provided compelling evidence for the fundamental role of natural selection in promoting and maint...

Ion channel profiling of the Lymnaea stagnalis ganglia via transcriptome analysis (2021)
Journal Article
Dong, N., Bandura, J., Zhang, Z., Wang, Y., Labadie, K., Noel, B., …Feng, Z. P. (2021). Ion channel profiling of the Lymnaea stagnalis ganglia via transcriptome analysis. BMC Genomics, 22, Article 18. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-020-07287-2

© 2021, The Author(s). Background: The pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis (L. stagnalis) has been widely used as a model organism in neurobiology, ecotoxicology, and parasitology due to the relative simplicity of its central nervous system (CNS). However,... Read More about Ion channel profiling of the Lymnaea stagnalis ganglia via transcriptome analysis.
