Short summary
This was the first study to compare snail’s morphological traits under varying shallow-vent stresses using populations previously classified by protein expression profiles. Anachis snails were classified as V-South (pH 7.78-7.82) and V-Rest (pH 7.31-7.83). There was a difference in shell width : length, with vent populations being more globular. Vent Anachis snails had thinner body whorl (56%) and penultimate whorl (29%) shells than non-vent Euplica sp.
