Species-Specific Proteins in the Oviducts of Snail Sibling Species: Proteotranscriptomic Study of <i>Littorina fabalis</i> and <i>L. obtusata</i>

Genus <i>Littorina</i> subgenus <i>Neritrema</i> (Mollusca, Caenogastropoda) includes the “obtusata” group of closely related species (<i>Littorina obtusata</i> and <i>L. fabalis</i>). The anatomy of the adult reproductive system (pallial oviduct) is t...
