Lymnaeidae
Lymnaeidae, common name the pond snails, is a taxonomic family of small to large air-breathing freshwater snails, aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusks, that belong to the clade Hygrophila. Lymnaeidae is the only family within the superfamily Lymnaeoidea (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). Taxonomy 2005 taxonomy Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) recognized four subfamilies within Lymnaeidae: * subfamily Lymnaeinae Rafinesque, 1815 - synonyms: Amphipepleinae Pini, 1877; Limnophysidae W. Dybowski, 1903; Acellinae Hannibal, 1912; Fossariinae B. Dybowski 1913 * subfamily Lancinae Hannibal, 1914 * † subfamily Scalaxinae Zilch, 1959 * † subfamily Valencieniinae Kramberger-Gorjanovic, 1923 - synonym: Clivunellidae Kochansky-Devidé & Sliskovic, 1972 2013 taxonomy Vinarski (2013)Vinarski M.

''Radix'' is a genus of air-breathing freshwater snails, aquatic pulmonate gastropods in the family Lymnaeidae, the pond snails.Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S. (2013). ''Radix'' Montfort, 1810. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=248262 on 2013-06-06 The genus ''Radix'' has a Palaearctic distribution. Phylogeny Correa et al. (2010) confirmed that the placement of these species within the genus ''Radix'' reflected their phylogenetic relationship. A cladogram showing phylogenic relations of species in the genus ''Radix'': The haploid number of chromosomes of all species in the genus ''Radix'' is 17 (n=17). Species The taxonomic status of certain species in the genus ''Radix'' has been disputed. Remigio (2002) reported sequence divergence within the 16S mitochondrial gene of ''Radix peregra'' and ''Radix ovata''. Furthermore, the shell morphology and alloenzyme data indicated that ''Radix peregra'' and ''Radix ...

Freshwater Snail
Freshwater snails are gastropod mollusks which live in fresh water. There are many different families. They are found throughout the world in various habitats, ranging from ephemeral pools to the largest lakes, and from small seeps and springs to major rivers. The great majority of freshwater gastropods have a shell, with very few exceptions. Some groups of snails that live in freshwater respire using gills, whereas other groups need to reach the surface to breathe air. In addition, some are amphibious and have both gills and a lung (e.g. ''Ampullariidae''). Most feed on algae, but many are detritivores and some are filter feeders. According to a 2008 review of the taxonomy, there are about 4,000 species of freshwater gastropods (3,795–3,972). At least 33–38 independent lineages of gastropods have successfully colonized freshwater environments. It is not possible to quantify the exact number of these lineages yet, because they have yet to be clarified within the Cerit ...
