Abstract: Diverse animals exhibit left–right asymmetry in development. However, no example of dimorphism for the left–right polarity of development (whole‐body enantiomorphy) is known to persist within natural populations. In snails, whole‐body enantiomorphs have repeatedly evolved as separate species. Within populations, however, snails are not expected to exhibit enantiomorphy, because of selection against the less common morph resulting from mating disadvantage. Here we present a unique example of evolutionarily stab… Show more

“…The Clausiliidae is one of the unusual families that are almost entirely sinistral. Sinistral, dextral, and enantiomorphic species have evolved in the Partulidae (Crampton, 1916(Crampton, , 1932, Achatinellidae (Welch, 1938(Welch, , 1942(Welch, , 1954 and Camaenidae (Sutcharit and Panha, 2006;Sutcharit et al, 2007). In the genus Partula, however, dextrality is dominant in F 2 and F 3 hybrids of the dextral P. mirabilis and the sinistral P. tohiveana olympia (Murray and Clarke, 1980).…”

“…The polarity of the secondary asymmetry develops independently of the polarity of the primary asymmetry (Sutcharit et al, 2007). For example, the polarity of the visceral asymmetry is not reversed between individuals showing specific enantiomorphic phenotypes in diverse species, including lobsters with reversed claws (Govind, 1989), flounders with reversed eyes (Policansky, 1982), and nematodes with a reversed cuticle (Bergmann et al, 1998).…”
