Abstract: | Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of geographical localization of natural populations and sampling dates on the reproduction of the garden snail Helix aspersa Müller. In Brittany, reproductive variability between populations shows the adaptive flexibility of characters describing reproductive activity and the relative stability of reproductive ability. |
