Journal ArticleDOI

Shell shape and mating behaviour in pulmonate gastropods (Mollusca)

Kurt Jordaens, +3 more
- 01 Feb 2009 - 
TL;DR: Current ideas on the evolutionary relationship between shell shape and reciprocity with sexual selection (including dart-use and whole-body enantiomorphy in hermaphroditic snails should be refined are refined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Congruence between allozyme and RAPD data in assessing macrogeographical genetic variation in the periwinkle Littorina striata (Mollusca, Gastropoda)

H. De Wolf, +2 more
- 01 Nov 1998 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that populations of L. striata display only little amounts of genetic heterogeneity and population differentiation, and a high congruence between allozyme and RAPD data, suggesting that geographically separated populations and different shell morphs share a common gene pool.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adhoc: an R package to calculate ad hoc distance thresholds for DNA barcoding identification

Gontran Sonet, +6 more
- 30 Dec 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce two R functions that automate the calculation of ad hoc distance thresholds for reference libraries of DNA barcodes for detecting false positive identification by DNA barcoding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multivariate morphometrics of soft body parts in terrestrial slugs: comparison between two datasets, error assessment and taxonomic implications

Kurt Jordaens, +6 more
- 01 Apr 2002 - 
TL;DR: The results indicate that A. fasciatus is larger than the other two species, but it is hard to distinguish from both of the other species when size is not considered, and biometrical data of soft, flexible structures may yield valuable and reliable data which can be examined statistically.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA Barcoding to Improve the Taxonomy of the Afrotropical Hoverflies (Insecta: Diptera: Syrphidae)

Kurt Jordaens, +5 more
- 16 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: DNA barcoding improves the taxonomy of Afrotropical hoverflies by selecting (groups of) taxa that deserve further taxonomic study, and by attributing the unknown sex to species for which only one of the sexes is known.
