Forecasting the Risk of Reinvasion by the Giant African Snail in Ogasawara, Japan

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study used SDMs constructed in multiple regions to predict the suitable habitats of Achatina fulica on Chichijima in the Ogasawara Islands. The model constructed on another island with a wide distribution range showed the highest predictive accuracy.

Purification and Characterization of a Cellulase from the Giant SnailAchatina fulica [PDF]

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 1996
A cellulase with activity as a cellobiohydrolase [EC3.2.1.91] was purified from the intestinal juice of the giant snail Achatina fulica. The enzyme (M(r) = about 23,000, and pI = about 5.3) also had a weak beta-glucosidase activity. The amino acid sequence of the N-terminal 20 amino acids was analyzed, and no similarity was noted for sequences of other

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 970-1002, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Insights Into Macrophage Polarization and M1/M2 Balance in Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2026.
This graphical abstract illustrates pharmaceutical agents that modulate M1/M2 macrophage polarization in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). M1 macrophages (red) drive inflammation, whereas M2 macrophages (blue) promote tissue repair. In DFUs, persistent M1 predominance contributes to chronic non‐healing. Five key agents targeting this imbalance are depicted:

Diversity of Terrestrial Malacofauna, Favorable Habitats, and Relationships With Mollusk Size in Urban Environments of Sergipe, Northeastern Brazil

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
The invasive exotic snail Achatina fulica dominates the terrestrial mollusk community in the city of Aracaju, occurring in all sampled urban habitats and being the most abundant species among the individuals collected. In addition, it exhibited a larger shell size and greater total weight, particularly in back gardens. ABSTRACT Terrestrial mollusks can
