NATURAL SELECTION IN CEPAEA
Open accessAbstract
HE remarkable variation in colour and ornamentation of the shell which T is shown by certain gastropods has attracted the attention of collectors for many years.Recently, several studies of this variation have appeared, which unfortunately lead to very diverse conclusions on its mechanism of maintetenance and its significance in evolution.One of the commonest and most strikingly variable snails of Europe is Cepaea nemoralis, which has been studied in considerable detail by several workers, mainly in Europe but also in the U.S.A. where it has been successfully introduced.DIVER (1940) has concluded that its range of variation is wholly random, BOETTGER (1931) that on the contrary it is determined by natural selection, while LAMOTTE (1951) believes that for banding, at least, it is maintained in each colony primarily by mutation, and SCHILDER (1950) by gene flow.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
