A chromosomal-level genome assembly for the giant African snail Achatina fulica [PDF]

open access: yesGigaScience, 2019
Abstract Background Achatina fulica, the giant African snail, is the largest terrestrial mollusk species. Owing to its voracious appetite, wide environmental adaptability, high growth rate, and reproductive capacity, it has become an invasive species across the world, mainly in Southeast Asia, Japan ...

Biosynthesis gene cluster‐containing species drive microbial community stability under thermal stress through enhanced ecological cohesion

open access: yesiMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
The study framework for exploring microbial community assembly and community stability of biosynthesis gene cluster (BGC)‐containing species under thermal stress (20°C–65°C) during 39 days of spontaneous fermentation. Temperature gradients during spontaneous fermentation reshape microbial community assembly, driving pronounced succession in both ...

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

open access: yesBiotropica, 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

Reproductive Ecology of the Giant African Snail in South Florida: Implications for Eradication Programs [PDF]

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2016
Giant African snail (Achatina fulica (Bowdich, 1822)), an important invasive snail, was recently found in South Florida, USA. An extensive eradication effort was initiated consisting of pesticide applications, debris removal and hand collections. We studied the reproduction capacity and population dynamics of snails collected from 22 populations for ...

RioM‐1: A New Calcite Reference Material for U‐Pb LA‐ICP‐MS Geochronology

open access: yesGeostandards and Geoanalytical Research, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 181-199, March 2026.
Key Points RioM‐1 calcite was characterised for trace elements, U‐Pb geochronology, Sr and O isotopes using ID‐TIMS, LA‐ICP‐MS and SIMS. U‐Pb dates from ID‐TIMS and LA‐ICP‐MS across several independent laboratories returned identical results within uncertainty.

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.
