Rapid, habitat-related evolution of land snail colour morphs on reclaimed land.

Heredity - 1 Mar 2013

Schilthuizen M

Abstract excerpt

I made use of the known dates of reclamation (and of afforestations) in the IJsselmeerpolders in The Netherlands to assess evolutionary adaptation in Cepaea nemoralis. At 12 localities (three in each polder), I sampled a total of 4390 adult individuals in paired open and shaded habitats, on average 233 m apart, and scored these for genetic shell colour polymorphisms. The results show (highly) significant...
