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 ...

The unique defence system of Latia neritoides (Gastropoda) involves secretion of a luminescent mucus. More knowledge on this mucus system will be helpful to understand the basic principle of this luminescent biopolymer. The mucus has incredible underwater bonding abilities, opening up new possibilities for adhesives in moist environments. In this study,
