Intrinsic metabolic depression in cells isolated from the hepatopancreas of estivating snails by Guppy, M, Reeves, D, Bishop, T, Withers, P, Buckingham, J, Brand, M

“…The isolated cells from the hepatopancreas (digestive gland) of the land snail (Helix aspersa) are oxygen conformers; i.e., their rate of respiration depends on pO2. …”

Processes contributing to metabolic depression in hepatopancreas cells from the snail Helix aspersa by Bishop, T, Brand, MD

“…<p style="text-align:justify;">Cells isolated from the hepatopancreas of the land snail Helix aspersa strongly depress respiration both immediately in response to lowered P(O2) (oxygen conformation) and, in the longer term, during aestivation. …”

The use of the terrestrial snails of the genera Megalobulimus and Thaumastus as representatives of the atmospheric carbon reservoir by Macario, K, Alves, E, Carvalho, C, Oliveira, F, Ramsey, C, Chivall, D, Souza, R, Simone, L, Cavallari, D

“…In Brazilian archaeological shellmounds, many species of land snails are found abundantly distributed throughout the occupational layers, forming a contextualized set of samples within the sites and offering a potential alternative to the use of charcoal for radiocarbon dating analyses. …”
