Abstract:

Gastropoda is the second class of animals after Insecta. With the development of molecular biology techniques, the original classification established based on morphological characters has been constantly revised, and this has led to the readjustment of the reproductive biological habits of some taxonomic units. The development of modern molecular biology also provides strong evidence and support for the sex determination and sex differentiation mechanisms of Gastropoda. In this study, the evolution of the reproductive biology, sex determination mechanisms and sex differentiation of some species of this class are described based on the latest classification of Gastropoda, with the aim to providing reference for the conservation and utilization of Gastropoda species resources.

Key words: Gastropoda, hermaphrodite, parthenogenesis, sex determination, sex differentiation
