  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. We were looking for a name and a mate for the left-coiling Cepaea. Introducing "Coily Minogue" ... now we just need a mate! instagram.com/reel/CzrILrQCvy4 #snails #asymmetry #kylie #padam

  13. 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

  14. 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

  19. 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 🧵
