The present knowledge of the genetics and host- parasite relationships of this gastropod group is far from adequate.
Unfortunately, little is known about the rate at which gastropods accumulate trematodes.
The gastropods are generally small (1-3 cm), but sometimes reach almost a decimetre.
The young leaves on saplings may be a better food source for mangrove gastropods, or saplings may be their preferred habitat for other reasons.
In addition, the variety of responses observed for gastropods may in part reflect the influence of other disturbance types during the 15-y study.
The last chapter is largely concerned with interactions with platyceratid gastropods and other parasites and the crinoids' response to them.
Note that gastropods are preserved as glauconitic moulds.
