Bellinger, April Blakeslee] The European periwinkle snail, Littorina littorea was discovered in Pictou, NS, Canada in 1840. This snail's subsequent rapid, conspicuous spread south from Pictou along the Canadian maritime coast and then along the New England and mid-Atlantic coast to New Jersey, its virtual absence in pre-European contact deposits, and its close association with human mechanisms of transport from Europe are among the clearest evidence for a human-mediated introduction. However, molecular genetic data have been proposed as evidence that L. littorea's occurrence in North America was not the result of a human introduction by Wares et al. (Ecol Lett 5:577-584, 2002). Reexamination of these genetic data and reexamination of all other data available reveal that a human-mediated introduction of L. littorea is the simplest explanation of its occurrence in North America. The refutation of the human-mediated introduction of L. littorea was premature.
