Summary
Here we describe the embryonic and larval development of Gyraulus albus. The morphogenetic changes along its development were followed by in vivo, using recently obtained egg clutches kept at 25 oC, by taking serial photographs to determine the mean time and the different structures that characterize the embryonic stages. Our results on the detailed characterization of the embryonic development of Gyraulus albus could serve as a reference for future studies on parasitology, ecological indicators and taxonomic characteristics, among others.
