A scientific journey that began with a lovelorn snail has provided new information regarding the cause of that snail's rare shell
A scientific journey that began with a lovelorn snail has provided new information regarding the cause of that snail's rare shell.
The lovesick gastropod was a garden snail called Jeremy, named after the reportedly garden-loving, left-wing UK politician Jeremy Corbyn, according to a study published Tuesday in the journal Biology Letters. Jeremy was rare for the direction in which its shell coiled. The asymmetrical appearance of a snail's shell due to its coiled structure is an example of what's called chirality.Jeremy was a lefty, but that's not a political statement.
