Forecasting the Risk of Reinvasion by the Giant African Snail in Ogasawara, Japan
This study used SDMs constructed in multiple regions to predict the suitable habitats of Achatina fulica on Chichijima in the Ogasawara Islands. The model constructed on another island with a wide distribution range showed the highest predictive accuracy.

DIGESTIVE ENZYMES IN AFRICAN GIANT LAND SNAIL (ARCHACHATINA MARGINATA) DURING AESTIVATION [PDF]
The activities of digestive enzymes in the gut regions of African giant land snail, Archachatina marginata were investigated during aestivation induced in the laboratory by the withdrawal of water and food for three weeks.

Transcriptional responses of Biomphalaria pfeifferi and Schistosoma mansoni following exposure to niclosamide, with evidence for a synergistic effect on snails following exposure to both stressors. [PDF]
BackgroundSchistosomiasis is one of the world's most common NTDs. Successful control operations often target snail vectors with the molluscicide niclosamide.

A food‐choice experiment illustrating that monosex decapods can serve as efficient biological control agents against parasite‐transmitting snails in aquaculture systems. We presented prawns and crayfish to four pest snail species with varying shell characteristics and quantified their predation preferences and traits. We show that the force required to

Biofloc technology and periphyton‐based systems enhance the sustainable production of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). A PRISMA‐guided review (2005 – 2024) shows that BFT improves survival (75 – 78 %) and feed efficiency, while periphyton supports natural productivity in grow‐out.

Zooarchaeological Analysis of an Atoll Assemblage From Central Micronesia
ABSTRACT There has been a dearth of archaeological research on atolls in the central‐eastern Caroline Islands of Micronesia. This has limited our understanding of pre‐contact subsistence and settlement strategies in these more marginal and remote environments, particularly in regards to zooarchaeological data.

Remembering Courtney Cazden, 1925–2025
ABSTRACT Here we remember and honor Courtney B. Cazden (1925–2025), whose scholarship, mentorship, and moral clarity profoundly shaped the study of language, literacy, and learning. Drawing on our shared experiences as colleagues, collaborators, students, and friends, we reflect on Courtney's enduring contributions to classroom discourse analysis ...
