Dispersers are more likely to follow mucus trails in the land snail Cornu aspersum [PDF]

The Science of Nature, 2018
AbstractDispersal, i.e. movement leading to gene flow, is a fundamental although costly life history trait. The use of indirect social information may help mitigate these costs, yet in many cases little is known about the proximate sources of such information, and how dispersers and residents may differ in their information use.

Effect of cadmium on cytosine hydroxymethylation in gastropod hepatopancreas [PDF]

, 2017
5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is an important, yet poorly understood epigenetic DNA modification, especially in invertebrates. Aberrant genome-wide 5hmC levels have been associated with cadmium (Cd) exposure in humans, but such information is lacking ...

Safety of HelixComplex snail mucus (HSM) as a novel food pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on HelixComplex Snail Mucus (HSM) as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The NF consists of snail mucus collected from Helix aspersa maxima and is proposed to be used by adults

Uptake and biological responses in land snail Cornu aspersum exposed to vaporized CdCl2

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2018
The uptake of Cd and some biomarkers of exposure and effects have been investigated in specimens of land snail Cornu aspersum exposed to vaporized CdCl2 (10mg/L) for 7 days. The Cd levels quantified in snail's whole bodies confirmed Cd bioavailability trough vaporization and an higher accumulation in the midgut gland compared to the foot.
