The Dual Protection of a Micro Land Snail against a Micro Predatory Snail
Defense against a single predatory attack strategy may best be achieved not by a single trait but by a combination of different traits. We tested this hypothesis experimentally by examining the unique shell traits (the protruded aperture and the denticles within the aperture) of the micro land snail Bensonella plicidens. We artificially altered shell characteristics by removing the denticles an...
متن کاملCarbamyl phosphate synthesis in a land snail, Strophocheilus oblongus.
A carbamyl phosphate synthetase has been detected and partially characterized in hepatopancreas tissue of the land snail Strophocheitus oblongus. The enzyme is localized in mitochondria, utilizes L-glutamine, and shows an absolute requirement for N-acetyl-L-glutamate. This unique combination of properties distinguishes the snail enzyme from either of the previously described animal carbamyl pho...
متن کاملPhylogeography of a Land Snail Suggests Trans-Mediterranean Neolithic Transport
BACKGROUND Fragmented distribution ranges of species with little active dispersal capacity raise the question about their place of origin and the processes and timing of either range fragmentation or dispersal. The peculiar distribution of the land snail Tudorella sulcata s. str. in Southern France, Sardinia and Algeria is such a challenging case. METHODOLOGY Statistical phylogeographic analy...
متن کاملBiogeographical and Ecological Determinants of Land Snail Diversification on Islands
The equilibrium theory of island biogeography as originally proposed by R. MacArthur and E. O. Wilson relied on the ecological processes of colonization and extinction to determine the species diversity of islands. Although they were well aware of the potential contribution of speciation within-island to species diversity, MacArthur and Wilson’s equilibrium model was purely ecological and did n...
متن کاملXanthine oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase from an estivating land snail.
During arousal from estivation in land snails, Otala lactea, active metabolic functions are restored within minutes and oxygen consumption increases dramatically. During the transition from the hypoxic conditions of estivation to normoxia it is possible that xanthine oxidase (XO) in hepatopancreas contributes to the observed lipid peroxidation. Using a fluorometric assay that is based on the ox...
