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

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
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 ...

16S rRNA sequencing reveals likely beneficial core microbes within faecal samples of the EU protected slug Geomalacus maculosus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The EU-protected slug Geomalacus maculosus Allman occurs only in the West of Ireland and in northern Spain and Portugal. We explored the microbial community found within the faeces of Irish specimens with a view to determining whether a core microbiome ...

Long‐Term Mobility of a Harvested, Rocky‐Reef Gastropod

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stocks of Turbo militaris (Turbinidae) are under increasing harvesting pressure, but management is currently hampered by data deficiency. Management decisions for rocky‐reef gastropod fisheries should consider long‐term species mobility, yet this is often poorly understood. Therefore, mark‐recapture was used to evaluate annual displacement and

Modulation of swimming in the gastropod Melibe leonina by nitric oxide [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous intercellular messenger produced by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase. It has been implicated as a neuromodulator in several groups of animals, including gastropods, crustaceans and mammals.

Neoichnology and sediment distribution in tidal flats of the mud‐dominated mesotidal Mira River estuary (Portugal)

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Invertebrate burrow morphologies and distributions are presented for the tidal flats of the middle and lower reaches of the tide‐influenced (mesotidal), mud‐dominated Mira River estuary (SW Portugal) as an analogue for interpreting the ichnology of palaeoestuarine successions.

The status of Otala punctata (Muller, 1774) : a recently established terrestrial gastropod in Malta [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A population of the alien helicid Otala punctata (Müller, 1774) has recently been found on the island of Malta (Central Mediterranean), located around a single plant nursery at Mosta in the central part of the island.

Prey Capture Outside of the Web? Observational Evidence of a Novel Form of Prey Capture in a Cave Orb Web Spider

open access: yesEthology, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2025.
It is currently not known how the European cave orb spider Meta menardi (d) catches the non‐flying prey, which makes up approximately half of its diet. Our observations in winter and summer from caves in the United Kingdom offer support to the radius tripwire hypothesis (a) over the off‐web hunting hypothesis (b) and the prey slip hypothesis (c ...
