“…Reversals of the primary asymmetry in spiral snails may affect gene flow because the position of the genital orifice on different body sides in dextral and sinistral snails can impede mating of differently coiled individuals (Asami, Cowie, & Ohbayashi, ; Johnson, ; Ueshima & Asami, ). It has been assumed that mutations of the gene determining the coiling direction might result even in single‐gene speciation (Gittenberger, ; Gittenberger, Hamann, & Asami, ; Orr, ; Ueshima & Asami, ; but see Johnson, Clarke, & Murray, ; Davison, Chiba, Barton, & Clarke, ; Koch, Neiber, Walther, & Hausdorf, ). Thus, reversals of the coiling direction may have contributed to the Alopia radiation.…”
