Polygyra septemvolva, common name the Florida Flatcoil, is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial gastropod mollusc in the family Polygyridae. [1]
The shells of Polygyra septemvolva are known to show a high degree of variance in size within populations (6.6 - 14.8 mm). They have been proposed as a suitable model organism due to the ease of culturing and abundant reproduction in a suitable habitat. [2]
Heterobranchia, the heterobranchs, is a taxonomic clade of snails and slugs, which includes marine, aquatic and terrestrial gastropod mollusks.
Pulmonata or pulmonates is an informal group of snails and slugs characterized by the ability to breathe air, by virtue of having a pallial lung instead of a gill, or gills. The group includes many land and freshwater families, and several marine families.
Cornu aspersum, known by the common name garden snail, is a species of land snail in the family Helicidae, which includes some of the most familiar land snails. Of all terrestrial molluscs, this species may well be the most widely known. It was classified under the name Helix aspersa for over two centuries, but the prevailing classification now places it in the genus Cornu.
