Adaptive radiation of partulid land snails in the tropical Pacific has produced an extraordinary array of distinctive morphological, ecological and behavioural types. Here we use part of the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene cluster to investigate the relat... Read More about Molecular evolutionary relationships between partulid land snails of the Pacific.

However, unnecessary chemoprophylaxis may be associated...
