Overview
Collected in the present volume are 36 essays, originally published in the genre-defining artistic universe known as the FWGNA Blog, exploring freshwater gastropod biology in the modern mileau. Our focus is on the larger prosobranchs ā the viviparids and the ampullariid "mystery snails" ā as well as on the familiar pulmonate snails of the hobbyist aquarium and the lab bench.
Reproductive allocation and the species concept, especially as applied to asexually-reproducing populations, emerge as primary themes, together with the omnipresent phenomenon of phenotypic plasticity. And along the way we'll check in with Gary, a pet mystery snail, who doesn't smell so good. The essays collected here will be an essential companion both to the Volume 1 results of the FWGNA surveys of Atlantic drainages published in 2019, and to the results of the Volume 5 Ohio drainage surveys published in 2023.
