in these harsh conditions. the shell door ( operculum ) / lung combination increases the ability to survive periods of drought not uncommon in swamps and small ponds in dry seasons. the snails bury themselves into the substrate decrease their metabolism and enter a period of aestivation. some genera

marisa marisa overview afropomus asolene felipponea lanistes marisa pila pomacea saulea the new world genus marisa (gray, ) contains known species. due to their a discoidal shell (the spine isn't elevated above the body whorl and thus making the shell almost flat), these snails are not always recognized

as being an apple snails. however, from an based on the anatomy, these snails definately belong to the ampullariidae snails are are probably closely related to the asolene genus. in the aquarium trade these snail are often know as the 'giant ramhorn snails'. type species is marisa cornuarietis (gray...

species, a difference in shell shape has been described. for example in pomacea canaliculata , the aperture (opening) in the male has a rounder opening than in the female because of the large penial complex. this sex-difference is not very well visible and it's not a very reliable to dicriminate on

individual base, but clear when measuring large amount of snails (in other words, it's possible to show the difference based on statistics). in some species however, the difference between male and female are very obvious in the adult snails. for example in pomacea flagellata flagellata , the male has...
