Population genetics and genetic variation of Pomacea canaliculata (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae) in China revealed by sequence analyses of three mitochondrial genes. [PDF]
The Golden apple snail, Pomacea canaliculata, is one of the world's 100 worst invasive alien species that is best known for its damage to wetland agriculture. We analyzed the genetic variation and population genetics of P. canaliculata populations in seven regions of China based on molecular markers of three mitochondrial (mt) genes.

Comparative Mitogenome Analysis of Two Native Apple Snail Species (Ampullariidae, Pomacea) from Peruvian Amazon. [PDF]
Apple snails of the genus Pomacea Perry, 1810 (Mollusca: Caenogastropoda: Ampullariidae) are native to the Neotropics and exhibit high species diversity, holding cultural and ecological significance as an important protein source in Peru. However, most genetic studies in Pomacea have focused mostly on invasive species, especially in Southeast Asia ...

Rice production in Mwea irrigation scheme, Kenya is being threatened by the invasive freshwater snail, Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck) (Ampullariidae). The cost of hired labor for physical removal of egg masses and adult snails is resulting in substantial negative effects on net income. Strategies to manage snail spread are urgently needed.

Thirty years of slug control using the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita and beyond
The nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a parasite of slugs and snails and has been formulated into a biological control agent for use across northern Europe since 1994. Here, we review all research on P. hermaphrodita that has been carried out over the last 30 years and suggest future priorities.

Target‐capture probes for phylogenomics of the Caenogastropoda
Abstract Target‐capture approaches have facilitated a rapid growth in the field of phylogenomics but few probe sets exist for molluscs, an exceptionally rich phylum with unparalleled ecological and morphological diversity. We designed and tested the first universal probe set using Phyluce to capture ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and exon loci from the

Effect of Pomacea canaliculata on Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri: Behavior, Oxidative Stress, and Microbiota Alterations. [PDF]
Behavior pattern changes of L. hoffmeisteri exposed to non‐free Pomacea canaliculata (PC) were found PC caused oxidative stress in L. hoffmeisteri PC changed the intestinal microbiota community structure of L. hoffmeisteri Aeromonas from the intestinal tract of P. canaliculata (As) had similar effects. As is the main stress source.

We discovered diverse peptidases and lipases in the intestine of the gastropod Pomacea canalicutala, which could be a useful platform to evaluate natural inhibitors to control this invasive species. Abstract Background The invasive gastropod Pomacea canaliculata has received great attention in the last decades as a result of its negative impact on ...

Abstract Niche and range shifts of invasive species are essential in assessing the risk of biological invasions and developing ecological niches and species distribution theories. Studies on invasive aquatic species' niche and range shifts have important implications for conserving aquatic invasive ecosystems.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Pomacea diffusa (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae) [PDF]
In this study, we analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of the spike-topped apple snail, Pomacea diffusa Blume, 1957 (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae). The mitochondrial genome of P. diffusa was 16,373 bp, consisting 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs and a non-coding region with a 12 bp repeat unit.

Abstract BACKGROUND Owing to their biodiversity, many valuable natural compounds have been extracted from marine resources and used in the development of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and cosmeceutical products. The New Zealand black‐footed abalone (Haliotis iris) is known to host a variety of bioactive compounds in its flesh.
