Stage‐ and weather‐dependent dispersal in the brown garden snail Cornu aspersum [PDF]
Population Ecology, 2013 AbstractDispersal decisions are often condition‐dependent, influenced by the interaction of individual phenotype and environmental conditions. Terrestrial Gastropods are simultaneous hermaphrodites, a reproductive system rarely studied in the context of dispersal.

Energy metabolism, heart rate and physiological differentiation in the pulmonate gastropod Cornu aspersum [PDF]
Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2013 We explored differences in metabolic rates of the introduced snail Cornu aspersum collected from three distant coastal locations across a 1300 km latitudinal range in Chile and raised under common-garden conditions. We measured two proxies of metabolic rate: heart rate (fH) and CO2 production (standard metabolic rate, SMR) in a flow-through ...

Parasite, 2023 Terrestrial gastropods are hosts of a wide variety of metazoan parasites and can respond to parasite exposure in various ways. One of these defence mechanisms, the ability to trap parasites in the host shell, was previously thought to apply only against ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 8419-8430, December 2025.Slugs can challenge crop plants grown in no‐till fields. Our results confirm that higher levels of slug feeding can be detrimental to maize plants, but low levels of herbivory by slugs can unexpectedly increase plant growth and occasionally yield. Abstract BACKGROUND In contrast to herbivorous insect pests, relatively little attention has been given to

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 11, Page 7288-7301, November 2025.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 ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.This study explores the geographic variation of different phenotypic traits in five Scurria limpet species along the Southeastern Pacific, revealing some significant trait–locality relationships but no correlation with genetic structure. ABSTRACT Biogeographic breaks represent crucial ecological junctures where species encounter novel environments that

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.This study investigates the spatial distribution and roosting preferences of Straw‐Colored Fruit Bats (Eidolon helvum) within the Obafemi Awolowo University campus in Nigeria. Using field surveys and GIS analysis, we identified significant roosting sites predominantly in Celtis zenkeri trees, highlighting the importance of tree height and canopy cover ...

Slow Invaders Going Fast: New Data of Exotic Slugs (Gastropoda: Eupulmonata) From Spain
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.Morphological and genetical confirmation of the occurrence of two non‐native terrestrial slugs in the Iberian Peninsula (northern Spain): Ambigolimax parvipenis and Boettgerilla pallens. ABSTRACT Invasive species are a major concern in the current scenario of biodiversity loss. Most studies focus on vertebrates and insects, while other groups have been
