Mid-November and there are still colour polymorphic Cepaea nemoralis (grove snail) out and active in the UK; worldwide #iNaturalist records by month on right.

#UoN #BBSRC PhD student Margarethe Johansen will present an update (based on whole genome linkage map) in our quest to identify the colour and banding loci, this Thursday at #MolluscanForum #NHMLondon. Free registration, hybrid event [email protected] #Cepaea #grovesnail #Evolution #Polymorphism

@snailman Can I find the records for other countries somewhere? Would love to check and observe my local population, currently they still enjoy the mild temperature — last year I even saw a single snail that got surprised by the first snowfall out on the roof!
And I'm looking forward to reading the research updates when they hopefully get published in the future :)

@starfishskies best place to look (and also contribute) is #inaturalist, which includes local distribution data

@snailman I'll give it a look after work, thanks!
