Metabolism of Carotenoids in the Apple Snail, Pomacea canaliculata
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1997Abstract Feeding experiments with β , β -carotene, canthaxanthin, (3 R ,3′ R )-zeaxanthin, (3 R ,3′ R ,6′ R )-lutein and racemic astaxanthin on the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata were investigated. Based on the experimental results, β , β -carotene was oxidatively metabolized, and the resulting principal metabolic product (3 S ,3′ S ...

Modeling apple snail population dynamics on the Everglades landscape
Landscape Ecology, 2015The Florida Everglades has diminished in size and its existing wetland hydrology has been altered. The endangered snail kite (Rostrhamus sociabilis) has nearly abandoned the Everglades, and its prey, the apple snail (Pomacea paludosa), has declined.

Comparative mitogenome analysis on species of four apple snails (Ampullariidae: Pomacea)
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2018The genus Pomacea contains most of the economically important Ampullariid apple snails. Five Pomacea species were reported introduced out of their native ranges, including three highly invasive species, i.e. P. maculata, P. canaliculata and an unidentified species, Pomacea sp. In this study, the mitogenome of P.

Evidence of oligogenic sex determination in the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata
Genetica, 2018A small number of genes may interact to determine sex, but few such examples have been demonstrated in animals, especially through comprehensive mating experiments. The highly invasive apple snail Pomacea canaliculata is gonochoristic and shows a large variation in brood sex ratio, and the involvement of multiple genes has been suggested for this ...

Symbionts and diseases associated with invasive apple snails
2017This contribution summarizes knowledge of organisms associated with apple snails, mainly Pomacea spp., either in a facultative or obligate manner, paying special attention to diseases transmitted via these snails to humans. A wide spectrum of epibionts on the shell and operculum of snails are discussed.
