  1. Hatchling to adult in five months, the new 🐌 regime is working 😀! Almost an animal 'model'.

  2. Happened upon a rare Cepaea on way home last night, missing the middle band ('12045') - last time I found one like this, it turned out to be a hybrid #cepaea #snails #hybrid #Speciation #speciationgenomics

  3. Fine mapping of the Cepaea 🐌 shell colour and mid-banded loci using a high-density linkage 🧬 map, new paper out today in Heredity 🎺🥂 Nothing is ever straightforward in snail genomics! Culmination of much work by PhD student Maggie Johansen. Open access: doi.org/10.1038/s41437-023-006.

  4. Dark lipped Cepaea nemoralis (on left) and pale-lipped Cepaea hortensis, yeah? No - both are C. nemoralis! See reply to see how they looked a couple of days later.

    Lip colour and size is the conventional way to identify the two species, but it does not always work, especially in some regions (Cornwall, UK; Pyrenees, Spain), and depending upon age. There are also a lot of snails labelled "C. hortensis" on #iNaturalist that are more likely C. nemoralis. #snails #snail #cepaea

  5. First time I have spotted Cepaea hortensis on the University campus - and it's a beauty. Benefits of walking to work on a drizzly morning

  6. I work on colourful Cuban snails (Polymita) and European snails (Cepaea). The last person to do that - at least according to Web of Science - was Alex Comfort. Now where do I know that name from?? 🤔🐌🤔👫 #snails #cepaea #polymita

  7. It rains and then this happens. I think I must live near snail heaven. FYI, this is a verge that the local council were persuaded to stop mowing some ~5 years ago. #snails #Cepaea

  8. I have frequently heard about the left coiling Cepaea of the Bundoran, Ireland, today I found their shells - many - at the NHM, London 😊. Suspect they were collected to extinction - know anyone willing to take a lookto check?!! #aDNA #snails #cepaea #ireland

  9. For scale - Japanese Euhadra against shell of average sized Cepaea nemoralis

  10. My snail ID'ing skills coming to the fore on iNaturalist today - roadkill snail in New York, certainly introduced Cepaea, most likely C. nemoralis #iNaturalist #Cepaea #snail #roadkill

  11. Mid-November and there are still colour polymorphic Cepaea nemoralis (grove snail) out and active in the UK; worldwide #iNaturalist records by month on right.

    #UoN #BBSRC PhD student Margarethe Johansen will present an update (based on whole genome linkage map) in our quest to identify the colour and banding loci, this Thursday at #MolluscanForum #NHMLondon. Free registration, hybrid event [email protected] #Cepaea #grovesnail #Evolution #Polymorphism

  12. BBSRC DTP student Margarethe Johansen presenting at the NHM molluscan forum this afternoon - a whole genome linkage map for the 🐌 Cepaea nemoralis, showing all 22 chromosomes

  13. SHOW2023 - short for Simultaneously Hermaphroditic Organisms Workshop - was hybrid last week @vuamsterdam (co-organised with @YumiNakadera) and contained great presentations, useful discussion sessions, a wonderful boat dinner (Smidtje), and a lovely, ethically produced 100% natural cotton bag for participants. Next year: SHOW2024, Rennes (France) @steve_ramm

  18. Day 8 #SciArtSeptember prompt niche. Can we talk about the cutest nesting strategy going? The Eastern Snail Shell Mason Bee (Osmia conjuncta) is a small North American blue bee which makes nests in suitable empty snail shells! In my linocut I show this adorable little pollinator with a Cepaea shell. Each print is 8” by 8” on delicate Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

    When I planned this print I wanted to make 🧵

  23. New 🐌 paper, in which we tried to identify qtls that contribute to continuous variation in snail shell colour. While lacking power, short answer is that colour locus is involved, as well as likely other loci elsewhere.
