Speciation and gene flow between snails of opposite chirality.

PLoS biology - 1 Sept 2005

Davison Angus, Chiba Satoshi, Barton Nicholas H, Clarke Bryan

Abstract excerpt

Left-right asymmetry in snails is intriguing because individuals of opposite chirality are either unable to mate or can only mate with difficulty, so could be reproductively isolated from each other. We have therefore investigated chiral evolution in the Japanese land snail genus Euhadra to understand whether changes in chirality have promoted speciation. In particular, we aimed to understand the effect of the...
