Mitochondrial genomes of Meghimatium pictum and Succinea arundinetorum provide insight into the gene order rearrangement within Stylommatophora (Gastropoda, Panpulmonata).

In this study, we report the whole mitochondrial genomes of two species, Meghimatium pictum and Succinea arundinetorum, which belong to Stylommatophora, one of the most abundant orders of Gastropoda. The total sizes of M. pictum and S.

Transcriptomic analysis unveils critical genes governing early development and sex differentiation in the Cipangopaludina chinensis (Gastropoda: Viviparidae).

The Cipangopaludina chinensis is a freshwater species of great economic value in the class Gastropoda. The research on the development of the larvae of this species and the subsequent sex differentiation mechanism is extremely limited. This study conducted transcriptome analysis on C.

Transcriptome analysis to explore the molecular mechanisms involved in the dormancy-arousal process in Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck, 1819).

The apple snail, Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck, 1819), a freshwater snail listed as a pernicious invasive alien species by the World Conservation Union (IUCN), has caused serious agricultural and ecological harm worldwide. This species has inflicted significant agricultural and ecological damage on a global scale. Under conditions of extreme environmental stress, the apple snail enters a state of dormancy and remains in this dormant phase until environmental conditions become favorable again, which serves as a crucial survival strategy.
