Removing invasive stream macrofauna shifts nontarget invertebrate mesofauna through facilitation

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Positive interactions among non‐native species can drive invasional meltdowns to the detriment of native biota. Here, we assessed whether targeted control of aquatic invasive species (AIS) can benefit native species by eliminating synergies among invaders.

Reproduction and Follow-up of Embryonic Development of Achatina fulica

Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology
Although Achatina fulica is hermaphrodite, the fertilization process in this type of snail occurs internally and in conjunction, and the mechanism of reproduction is to place the eggs in groups in a hole and then cover them with dirt. The stages of embryonic development from laying the eggs until the hatching process took ten days and after hatching. A

A New Glycosaminoglycan from the Giant African Snail Achatina fulica [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1996
A new glycosaminoglycan has been isolated from the giant African snail Achatina fulica. This polysaccharide had a molecular weight of 29,000, calculated based on the viscometry, and a uniform repeating disaccharide structure of -->4)-2-acetyl,2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranose (1-->4)-2-sulfo-alpha-L-idopyranosyluronic acid (1-->.

Oral Administration of Edible Snail Extract Powder Prevents UVB‐Induced Skin Damage

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
Oral administration of edible snail extract powder (SEP) significantly protected against UVB‐induced skin damage in SKH‐1 hairless mice. SEP improved skin hydration, reduced wrinkle formation, and restored the expression of key genes related to hyaluronic acid synthesis, collagen production, and antioxidant defense. These findings suggest SEP may serve

Proteinase-Inhibitors in Albumin Glands of Achatina fulica

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1982
Abstract Three different polyvalent proteinase-inhibitors have been detected in the albumin gland of the snail, Achatina fulica and identified by means of fibrin-agar immunelectrophoresis. The inhibitory activity of these substances against several proteinases from different sources was investigated.

Orally Administered Edible Snail Extract Powder Enhances Skin Hydration via Hyaluronic Acid Synthesis and Barrier Gene Modulation in SKH‐1 Hairless Mice

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
Immunohistochemical staining of dorsal skin tissues for HAS2, HYAL1, and TGF‐β1. Oral administration of SEP increased the expression of HAS2 and TGF‐β1 in a dose‐dependent manner, while reducing HYAL1 expression. These findings indicate that SEP promotes hyaluronic acid synthesis and extracellular matrix remodeling. The results support the moisturizing
