Developmental Biology And Genetic Diversity Of Selected Neritidae In Malaysia With An Emphasis On Nerita Balteata

The gastropods in this study are from the genus Nerita found in the rocky and muddy intertidal zones along the coasts of Malaysia. The species diversity was analyzed, morphological descriptions were made, and barcodes of cytochrome oxidase I were generated for each of the 12 species of nerites found...
