Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 4, Page 1420-1430, April 2023., 2023 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 ...

Limpkin, Aramus guarauna (L., 1766) (Gruiformes, Aramidae), extralimital breeding in Louisiana is associated with availability of the invasive Giant Apple Snail, Pomacea maculata Perry, 1810 (Caenogastropoda, Ampullariidae) [PDF]
Check List, 2019 We document the first breeding record of Limpkin, Aramus guarauna (Linnaeus, 1766) (Gruiformes, Aramidae), for Louisiana, describe an additional unpublished breeding record from Georgia, as well as a possible record from Alabama, and associate these ...

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 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.

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 97, Issue 12, Page 3511-3519, December 2022., 2022 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.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2089-2099, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Freshwater molluscs are hosts for diverse metazoan symbionts. However, apart from the digenean helminths, symbionts of molluscs are underreported worldwide. Therefore, this study focused on the diversity of oligochaetes, leeches, mites, insect larvae and nematodes associated with gastropods and bivalves from Lake Victoria, East Africa. Overall,

Freshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 8, Page 1411-1427, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Tropical freshwater invertebrate species are becoming extinct without being described, and effective conservation is hampered by a lack of taxonomic and distribution data. DNA metabarcoding is a promising tool for rapid biodiversity assessments that has never been applied to tropical freshwater invertebrates across large spatial and taxonomic ...

Farming practice affects rice field animal biota during cultivation but not fallow periods in Taiwan
Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Rice is one of the most important staple foods in the world, with irrigated rice paddies largely converted from natural wetlands. The effectiveness of rice fields in preserving species depends partially on management practices, including the usage of pesticides. Previous studies have focused predominantly on the cultivation period, leaving the

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 97-111, January 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Effective control of invasive species and conservation of native biodiversity requires accurate species identification. Several species of apple snails (Ampullariidae: Pomacea) from South America have become widespread pests in Asia since their introduction in the early 1980s, but their taxonomic uncertainty has hindered our understanding ...

Sex-related differential growth in Pomacea canaliculata (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae) [PDF]
Journal of Molluscan Studies, 1998 In dioecious freshwater prosobranchs it is almost a commonplace that females reach larger sizes than males. Such a condition was mentioned, for example, for members of the families Viviparidae-, Bithyniidae, Pleuroceridae-, Hydrobiidae (unpublished own data) and Ampullariidae''.
