Temperature effects on Florida applesnail activity: implications for snail kite foraging success and distribution [PDF]
The endangered Florida snail kite (Rostrhamlls sociaiJilis) feeds exclusively on applesnails (Pomacea pailiclosa), yet we lack direct observations that link applesnail behavior to snail kite foraging success.

Applesnails of Florida Pomacea spp. (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae)
Applesnails are larger than most freshwater snails and can be separated from other freshwater species by their oval shell that has the umbilicus of the shell perforated or broadly open. There are four species in Florida, one of which is native and considered beneficial.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the apple snailPomacea diffusa(Gastropoda, Ampullariidae) with phylogenetic consideration [PDF]
We present the complete mitochondrial genome of Pomacea diffusa in this study. The results show that the mitochondrial genome is 16,640 bp in length, which is comprised of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, and 21 tRNA genes. The nucleotide compositions of the light strand are 39.62% of A, 30.13% of T, 16.02% of C, and 14.24% of G.
