Multiple Introductions of the Pestiferous Land Snail <i>Theba pisana</i> (Müller, 1774) (Gastropoda: Helicidae) in Southern California by Jann E. Vendetti, Kimiko Sandig, Armenuhi Sahakyan, Alyana Granados

“…Therefore, we compared molecular data (CO1, 16S, ITS2) and internal morphology (jaw, radula, reproductive system) in <i>T. pisana</i> collected from Los Angeles and San Diego counties in 2019–2020. DNA barcode (CO1 mtDNA) analysis revealed that <i>T. pisana</i> from Los Angeles County was most similar to <i>T. pisana</i> from the Mediterranean island of Malta, and northern San Diego County-collected specimens were most similar to <i>T. pisana</i> from Morocco. …”
