The veliger larva of Hydrobia uhae with observations on the veliger of
Littorina lillorea (Mollusca: Prosobranchia).
Trace fossils are not recorded probably due the abundance of mollusk shells, which include shells of gastropods Conus,
Littorina, and Turritella typical from proximal and shallower environments (e.g.
In the Early Holocene the palaeogeographical development of the south-western Baltic area was determined by a regression of the freshwater Lake Ancylus followed by the marine
Littorina Transgression.
Population differences in behaviour and morphology in the snail
Littorina saxatilis: phenotypic plasticity or genetic differentiation?
La
littorina procedeva con la sua giusta velocita, non era certo un razzo, si fermava a ogni paesino, Pratofontana, Bagnolo, San Tomaso della Fossa, Pieverossa, Novellare, San Bernardino, in mezzo a ogni paesino vedevo scorrere dai finestrini la campagna della bassa, una zona chiamata bassa perche, giu dalle montagne e a cominciare da dove finiscono le colline, la pianura scende digradando lentamente ma inesorabilmente verso il fiume Po e verso Guastalla, paese che da proprio sul fiume, sino ad arrivare a pochi metri sopra il livello del mare, campagna della bassa apparentemente monotona, ma io sapevo trovarci sempre qualcosa di nuovo e degno di essere osservato.

In
Littorina littorea, for instance, the presence of barnacles growing on the shell causes an increase in the snail's volume and weight and a decrease in the locomotion speed and reproductive output[ 3].
