Climate and pH Predict the Potential Range of the Invasive Apple Snail (Pomacea insularum) in the Southeastern United States [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Predicting the potential range of invasive species is essential for risk assessment, monitoring, and management, and it can also inform us about a species' overall potential invasiveness. However, modeling the distribution of invasive species that have not reached their equilibrium distribution can be problematic for many predictive approaches.

Scientific Opinion on the evaluation of the pest risk analysis onPomacea insularum, the island apple snail, prepared by the Spanish Ministry of Environment and Rural and Marine Affairs [PDF]
EFSA Journal, 2012 The Panel considers the Spanish pest risk analysis (PRA) to be clear and to provide appropriate supporting evidence. However, (i) the environmental impact assessment is incomplete and (ii) the estimates for the potentially endangered area are too limited.

Cadmium bioaccumulation and detoxification mechanisms in Pomacea insularum: implications for biomonitoring in freshwater ecosystems [PDF]
Frontiers in Environmental ScienceThis study aimed to investigate cadmium (Cd) bioaccumulation and detoxification mechanisms in Pomacea insularum, based on specimens collected from 13 field populations in Peninsular Malaysia and transplantation experiments between polluted and unpolluted

Applied Sciences (Switzerland), 2023 The present investigation focused on the toxicity test of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn), utilizing two groups of juvenile and adult apple snail Pomacea insularum (Gastropod, Thiaridae) with mortality as the endpoint. For the adult snails, the median lethal concentrations (LC50) values based on 48 and 72 h decreased in ...

Distribution of heavy metal concentrations in the different soft tissues of the freshwater snail Pomacea insularum(D’Orbigny, 1839; Gastropoda), and sediments collected from polluted and unpolluted sites from Malaysia [PDF]
Toxicological and Environmental Chemistry, 2009 Pomacea insularum were collected from polluted and unpolluted freshwater ecosystems in Malaysia. Besides the shells, the soft tissues were dissected and pooled into cephalic tentacle, foot, mantle, operculum, digestive tract, penial sac,lung sac, and ...

Establishment of the Invasive Island Apple Snail Pomacea insularum (Gastropoda: Ampullaridae) and Eradication Efforts in Mobile, Alabama, USA [PDF]
Gulf of Mexico Science, 2012 Species invasions are thought to be among the most detrimental of all anthropogenic disturbances. Invasive consumers severely impact native ecosystems through the consumption of and competition with native species.

Cryptic diversity: Two morphologically similar species of invasive apple snail in Peninsular Malaysia. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 Invasive snails in the genus Pomacea have spread across Southeast Asia including Peninsular Malaysia. Their effects on natural and agricultural wetlands are appreciable, but species-specific effects are less clear because of morphological similarity ...

Not a slow snail: Rapid rise of environmental awareness and ecological insights regarding invasive island apple snails (Pomacea insularum) [PDF]
Nature Precedings, 2009 *_Background/Question/Methods_* Exotic invaders routinely move faster than scientific publication processes. Lacking aerial dispersal stages, snails generally match descriptions of slow colonizers.

Quite the appetite: juvenile island apple snails (Pomacea insularum) survive consuming only exotic invasive plants [PDF]
Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2011 Most aquatic snails derive their energy by grazing periphyton. However, certain species, including the invasive island apple snail, Pomacea insularum, readily consume aquatic macrophytes. These snails often overlap in their distribution with other exotic, invasive plants. We sought to discover if juvenile P.

Feeding rates of an introduced freshwater gastropod Pomacea insularum on native and nonindigenous aquatic plants in Florida [PDF]
Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2010 Pomacea insularum (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae) is a common, nonindigenous species in many parts of the world and an important consumer of aquatic macrophytes. We conducted laboratory trials to quantify the rates of consumption of native and nonindigenous aquatic plants in Florida, where this snail has been introduced.
