Updated Pupillid Info

Big score tonight when I happened upon this:

Pupillid land snails of eastern North America

by Jeffrey C. Nekola and Brian F. Coles


It's basically an updated key to the the Pupillid (Pupilidae, Gastrocoptidae, Vertiginidae) Snails. That's about as hot as it gets. Relatively speaking.


This seems to be a busy team as they also wrote a few more papers available online:

A discovery of a new Vertiginidae snail in 2007- Vertigo malleata
http://sev.lternet.edu/~jnekola/nekola%20pdf/naut-121-17-28.pdf

A paper on acidic preferences of land snails
http://sev.lternet.edu/~jnekola/nekola%20pdf/jms-76-144-156.pdf

And one with Ulfar Bergthorsson on the Evolution of the Vertigo gouldi group using DNA testing
