The characteristics of copulation in Segmentina oelandica (Westerlund, 1885) (Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Planorbidae)

چکیده
The paper examines the precopulatory behaviour and copulation in Segmentina oelandica. The morphological traits associated with this process are discussed. The anatomy of the copulatory apparatus is studied using histological and histochemical (phalloidin fluorescence) methods. The copulation is shown to be a complex process determined by a specific set of morphological, physiological, behavioural and ecological characteristics.

Genetic markers from Biomphalaria tenagophila (Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Planorbidae) obtained by the double stringency polymerase chain reaction technique.
Biomphalaria tenagophila, one of the intermediate hosts of the trematoda Schistosoma mansoni, is a simultaneous hermafrodite snail species. In order to analyse the genetic structure of these populations, we performed a double-stringency PCR technique to obtain genetic markers with microsatellites and arbitrary primers in a single reaction.

The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Galba pervia (Gastropoda: Mollusca), an Intermediate Host Snail of Fasciola spp
Complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes and the gene rearrangements are increasingly used as molecular markers for investigating phylogenetic relationships. Contributing to the complete mt genomes of Gastropoda, especially Pulmonata, we determined the mt genome of the freshwater snail Galba pervia, which is an important intermediate host for Fasciola spp. in China. The complete mt genome of G. perv...
