“Our entry for this award is a thank you to them for their vision and willingness to do things differently. It’s also a thank you to BEIS for the courage and far-sightedness they have shown in working constructively with industry to fit their approach to the needs and circumstances of UK manufacturing.” There are three main subclasses of gastropods; the Prosobranchia (ocean snails), Opisthobranchia (sea slugs, sea butterflies and sea hares), and Pulmonata (land and freshwater snails and slugs). Each of the subclasses has evolved in their own way and members differ in their reproduction and life cycles within the subclasses. The gastropod folks are so large it really is impossible to spell out living cycle of each one individual species, but a majority of general rules do apply. The more evolved the species, the more complex their reproductive cycle in addition to their biology. Here we will look at the life span cycle of a gastropod through various examples and how they differ with regards to the type.
