Self-fertilization in the freshwater snails Helisoma duryi and Helisoma trivolvis [PDF]
Fifty specimens of five strains (10 per strain) of Helisoma duryi from Lima (Peru), St. Croix (Virgin Islands), Formosa (Brazil), Cartago (Costa Rica) and St. Vincent (Lesser Antilles), reared in isolation for about 150 days, laid 103 eggs. The numbers of eggs laid by the 10 specimens of each strain were respectively (viable eggs in parenthesis): 44(26)

Mycofiltration of Aqueous Iron (III) and Imidacloprid Solutions, and the Effects of the Filtrates on Selected Biomarkers of the Freshwater Snail Helisoma duryi. [PDF]
Abstract A mycofilter made of Pleurotus ostreatus was used for the removal of iron (III) and imidacloprid from aqueous solutions. Batch mycofiltration, at a dosage of 1g of mycofilter per 50 ml, was performed on iron (III) solutions of different concentrations (0.99, 10.7, 22.9, and 27.72 mg/L) and pH (3.3, 7 and 11). For column mycofiltration,

Gastropods alien to South Africa cause severe environmental harm in their global alien ranges across habitats. [PDF]
This study assesses global impacts of alien gastropods using two novel impact scoring schemes to compare impact severity between species, as well as environmental and socioeconomic impacts, and to understand how impacts relate to habitats, impact mechanisms, and life‐history traits.
