Functional morphological analysis of evolution of ribbing in Pliocene viviparid shells (Slavonia region, Croatia)
This paper provides a functional analysis of Pliocene freshwater gastropods from the phylogenetic lineage Viviparus neumayri to Viviparus ornatus. On this section of the phylogenetic line, it is possible to follow the continuous evolution of the shell ornamentation (shouldering and rib formation) from ancestral V. neumayri with smooth shell to V. ornatus with spiral ribs. The shell morphology and possible structural function of rib development is presented. The problem of rib development and their structural significance as shell reinforcement elements is discussed from the analytical point of view, but also by Finite Element Modelling (FEM).
