Captive breeding
[edit | edit source]Partula affinis is in the international Partula breeding program and the conservation efforts for this species have been very successful, allowing reintroductions since 2015.[4]
Phylogeny
[edit | edit source]Phylogenetic analyses confirmed that P. affinis is the sister species of P. otaheitana.[5]
Taxonomy
[edit | edit source]P. affinis was originally described as a subspecies of P. otaheitana (P. otaheitana affinis) but is now recognized as a distinct species.
