Phylogeny

Correa et al. (2010) confirmed that the placement of these species within the genus Radix reflected their phylogenetic relationship.[4] A cladogram showing phylogenic relations of species in the genus Radix:[4]

Radix labiata

 
 
 

Radix peregra

 
 
 

Radix ampla

Radix auricularia

 
 

Radix ovata

 
 
 
 

Radix sp. from Philippines

 
 
 

Radix sp. from Canada and Radix sp. from Romania

 
 
 
 

Radix natalensis

 
 

Radix luteola

 
 
 
 

Radix quadrasi

 
 

Radix rubiginosa

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The haploid number of chromosomes of all species in the genus Radix is 17 (n=17).[4]

Species

The taxonomic status of certain species in the genus Radix has been disputed. Remigio (2002) reported sequence divergence within the 16S mitochondrial gene of Radix peregra and Radix ovata.[5] Furthermore, the shell morphology and alloenzyme data indicated that Radix peregra and Radix ovata are distinct.[6][7]

In contrast, Bargues et al. (2001) considered, on the basis of ITS-2 sequence analysis, that R. peregra, R. ovata, and R. balthica are in fact conspecific.[8]

Parasites

Species within the genus Radix are utilized as intermediate hosts by several different trematode species:

gollark: Hi-dronitrogen!
gollark: S P E E K E R Z
gollark: Nothing could go wrong.
gollark: You should use that big network. It is totally safe.
gollark: I suggest you run it on the network to see what happens.
