Observations on Seasonal Dynamics of Age Structure and Reproduction of Pupilla Muscorum L. (gastropoda: Pulmonata: Pupillidae)
نویسنده
چکیده
Ovoviviparous Pupilla muscorum L. incubates 1–8 embryos throughout the year. The embryos are produced in an assembly-line fashion and released when fully formed, with a maximum in June–August. The snails reach maturity in their second or third season and probably most reproduce only during one season.

The annual reproductive cycle of the snail Megalobulimus abbreviatus (Bequaert, 1948) (Gastropoda, Pulmonata).
Morphological changes in the sexual organs of the pulmonates were observed throughout a year and correlated with reproductive-cycle periods. Reproductive-organ weights of the snail Megalobulimus abbreviatus were recorded seasonally and gonad sections were analyzed morphologically. The weights were used to obtain the organosomatic index. Mean oocytic diameter and oocytic maturation index were ba...

Population studies on Arion lusitanicus, a slug species introduced into Poland, were carried out over the last decade. The slug occurs commonly in some areas and spreads out relatively quickly. It has an annual life cycle with eggs, and immature individuals overwinter. In the end of July A. lusitanicus begins copulation and three weeks later it lays eggs from which the first offspring hatch wit...
