AmpuBase: a transcriptome database for eight species of apple snails (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae) [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2018
Gastropoda, with approximately 80,000 living species, is the largest class of Mollusca. Among gastropods, apple snails (family Ampullariidae) are globally distributed in tropical and subtropical freshwater ecosystems and many species are ecologically and economically important. Ampullariids exhibit various morphological and physiological adaptations to

The complete mitochondrial genome of the apple snail Pomacea maculate (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2018
We present the complete mitochondrial genome of Pomacea maculate in this study. The mitochondrial genome is 15,512 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes. Overall nucleotide compositions of the light strand are 41.13% of A, 30.81% of T, 15.25% of C and 12.81% of G.

Mortalidad y comportamiento de búsqueda de pareja en Pomacea canaliculata (Caenogastropoda: Ampullariidae)

Acta Zoológica Lilloana, 2023
Pomacea canaliculata es un caracol dulceacuícola invasor de origen sudamericano conocido como plaga de cultivos acuáticos y generador de cambios ecosistémicos en humedales naturales. Esto lo ha convertido en una especie modelo para estudios ecológicos.

Nuptial Feeding In the Freshwater Snail Pomacea canaliculata (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae)

Malacologia, 2007
The males of the freshwater snail Pomacea canaliculata have a copulatory apparatus consisting in a delicate penis running through a muscular channeled sheath bearing three different glands. The outer gland is the most conspicuous one and often secrets a sticky drop of mucus during copula.

Habitat Structure Shapes Mollusc Assemblages in an Urban Semiarid River: Implications for Conservation and Public Health

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Fine‐scale environmental drivers shape freshwater mollusc assemblages in urban semiarid rivers. We examined how substrate composition and water chemistry influence mollusc richness and abundance along a polluted stretch of a river in the Brazilian semiarid region. Surveys at five sites recorded 2479 individuals.

Significant Progress in the Study of African Freshwater Snails Over the Past 260 Years [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Globally, freshwater ecosystems are threatened, and studies estimate rapid degradation compared with terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Like most other tropical regions, Africa still has far to go regarding discovery and documentation. Using a systematic review process, we evaluated freshwater African snail studies.

Evidence for maternal transmission fo a putative endosymbiont in the digestive gland of Pomacea canaliculata (Architaenioglossa, Ampullariidae) [PDF]

, 2017
The digestive gland of the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata lodges two types of pigmented corpuscles (identified as C and K corpuscles) which has been proposed as endosymbiont/s.

Seasonal Forest Resources Support Fish Biomass in Floodplain Lakes of an Amazonian Tributary

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The Flood Pulse Concept is a foundational ecological theory that emphasizes the critical role of lateral connectivity between a river channel and its floodplain. Many tropical rivers inundate the surrounding floodplain in the flood stage, thereby receiving large amounts of terrestrial organic matter that can be decomposed by microbes and ...

Warming mediates the relationship between plant nutritional properties and herbivore functional responses [PDF]

, 2016
Quantifying the per capita effects of invasive alien species is crucial for assessing their ecological impact. A major challenge to risk assessment of invasive species was to understand the factors that cause per capita effects to vary in different ...

Distribution, abundance, population structures, and potential impacts of the invasive snail, Tarebia granifera in aquatic ecosystems of north‐eastern South Africa

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.
The study investigates Tarebia granifera, a highly successful aquatic invader, in South Africa's Limpopo and Phongolo River systems. The study revealed that T. granifera dominates in habitats where it is present, negatively impacting native molluscan species. Interestingly, the study did not find significant correlations between T.
