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

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 ...

The effects of loose, firm, fine, and coarse substrates on the movement of the red flour beetle
Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 662-674, April 2025.The study focused on the impact of substrate roughness on movement properties, utilizing the red flour beetle as a model organism. Findings revealed significant variations in movement behavior between rough and smooth substrates, with beetles traveling longer distances on smooth surfaces compared to sandpaper and loose sand.

Experimental evidence for a new transmission route in a parasitic mite and its mucus-dependent orientation towards the host snail [PDF]
, 2017 The route of transmission and host finding behaviour are fundamental components of a parasite's fitness. Riccardoella limacum, a haematophagous mite, lives in the mantle cavity of helicid land snails.

On the effect specificity of accessory gland products transferred by the love-dart of land snails [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Sexual selection favours the evolution of male bioactive substances transferred during mating to enhance male reproductive success by affecting female physiology. These effects are mainly well documented for separate-sexed species.
