‘people would need to be very weak in the head… before it would occur to them to go into the garden and eat #snails’ (Anon. 1867).
Pleased to say that my essay "A short history of snail-eating in Britain" will be in October's issue of British Wildlife magazine.

Our knowledgeable malacology staff found a gem hiding in our collection of unidentified material – a specimen belonging to one of the rarest mollusks in South America (in nature and in collections worldwide), Isomeria gealei (E. A. Smith, 1877), a land snail from Ecuador.

Check out our new paper on dispersal & evolution in Pacific Island land snails
Most surprising results:
🏝️evidence of the taxon cycle;
🤏island-endemics are SMALL &
⛰️widespread snails are NOT at high elevations, both counter to some aerial dispersal predictions
