Garden Snail Predatory Insects’ Modus Operandi Under Laboratory Conditions [PDF]

Insects
Heliciculture farms are susceptible to significant biotic issues that can impact snail breeding, among them, the entomofauna predation of snails. Predatory insects can cause damage to snail shells during predation, and sometimes, the specific type of ...

Variation in Thermal Sensitivity and Thermal Tolerances in an Invasive Species across a Climatic Gradient: Lessons from the Land Snail Cornu aspersum [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The ability of organisms to perform at different temperatures could be described by a continuous nonlinear reaction norm (i.e., thermal performance curve, TPC), in which the phenotypic trait value varies as a function of temperature.

Isolation of cellulase enzyme from brown garden snail (Cornu aspersum) for the saccharification of waste paper materials [PDF]

MethodsX, 2019
Garden snails (Cornu aspersum) have been sacrificed by drowning the snails overnight in water. The visceral organs (inside the shell organs) have been separated from the foot as well as the shell and homogenized using tris−HCl buffer, pH 5.

Evolution of Duplicated Hox Gene Clusters in Land Snails and Slugs. [PDF]

J Exp Zool B Mol Dev Evol
Molluscs of the order Stylommatophora underwent an ancient genome duplication. We show that stylommatophoran snails and slugs have two broken and incomplete Hox gene clusters; HoxA generally has 9 genes, HoxB usually has 7 genes. After duplication of an ancestral 11‐gene Hox cluster, there was patchwork retention of duplicated genes.

Semiochemical applications for managing the grey field slug (Deroceras reticulatum Müller), a major pest of arable crops. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Trends in semiochemical research highlight promising attractants and repellents for ‘push–pull’ pest control strategies of the grey field slug. Extracts from plants, predators, entomopathogenic fungi, and essential oils demonstrate potential in modifying grey field slug behaviour, inducing avoidance, antifeeding responses, or mortality, offering ...
