A century after introduction: variability in Cepaea hortensis (Müller, 1774) in Sibiu, central Romania

2019

AbstractThe polymorphic land snail Cepaea hortensis was introduced to the city of Sibiu, central Romania, in the first decade of the 20th century and has spread widely across the city. A total of 97 locations were examined in 2017 across the city to determine the habitat preferences and variation in shell size, shape, colour and banding polymorphism of C. hortensis, and to relate these to the same features in the likely source population from Mannheim, Germany, and the first established population in Sibiu. We found that C. hortensis was largely restricted to sites with some woody vegetation cover and showed a marked preference for abandoned and overgrown private gardens. Mean adult shell s…

Metabolism of phenol in the terrestrial snail Cepaea nemoralis L

1992

1. The metabolism of phenol in the terrestrial snail Cepaea nemoralis was studied after injection into the haemocoel of the dorsolateral foot region. 2. Excreted metabolites, and metabolites extracted from the body, were analysed by h.p.l.c. In addition to phenyl beta-D-glucoside, arbutine (quinol beta-D-glucoside), a new conjugate of phenol, was detected.
