Cerion shows more variety in the form of its shell than any                other land snail in the world.  Sizes of adults range from 5 to                 70 mm in length, shapes from spheres to very narrow cylinders.                  If an understanding of how such variety is generated within a                   genetic program that varies little from species to species could                be obtained, insight would be gained into an important                          evolutionary question about change in form (chimps and humans are               also very little different genetically, but morphologically quite               disparate).  By measuring shells and establishing correlations of               characters in growth, the principal investigator has shown how                  small changes in rates of growth yield major differences in adult               form.  This key allows one to make sense of the geographic and                  temporal distribution of form in Cerion on the Bahama Islands.                  In this project, the principal investigator will continue his                   series of monographs on Bahaman species, trying to explain                      differences in form through the study of correlations discussed                 above.  Studies of growth patterns in Cerion and the adaptive (or               nonadaptive) status of individual changes that define species and               populations will also be continued.
