Short summary
Based on our molecular data and performed analyses we found that the gastropods studied represent a comparatively old group that most likely evolved with a constant rate of diversification. However, preliminary data of the SCOPSCO deep-drilling program indicate signatures of environmental/climatic perturbations in Lake Ohrid. We therefore propose that the constant rate observed has been caused by a potential lack of catastrophic environmental events and/or a high ecosystem resilience.
