Comparative Mitogenome Analysis of Two Native Apple Snail Species (Ampullariidae, ) from Peruvian Amazon.

Apple snails of the genus Perry, 1810 (Mollusca: Caenogastropoda: Ampullariidae) are native to the Neotropics and exhibit high species diversity, holding cultural and ecological significance as an important protein source in Peru. However, most genetic studies in have focused mostly on invasive species, especially in Southeast Asia, where they are considered important pests. In this study, we assembled and annotated the mitochondrial genomes of two species native to the Peruvian Amazon: Ampuero & Ramírez, 2023 and (Deville & Hupé, 1850).
