PLoS ONE, 2013 The dynamics of predation on parasites within prey has received relatively little attention despite the profound effects this is likely to have on both prey and parasite numbers and hence on biological control programmes where parasites are employed. The

Insects, 2021 Terrestrial gastropod molluscs (slugs and snails) (Mollusca: Gastropoda) cause significant crop damage around the world. There is no formal approach for differentiating between slugs and snails; however, an organism is usually considered a slug when ...

Development of an Optical System Based on Spectral Imaging Used for a Slug Control Robot
Horticulturae, 2022 The state-of-the-art technique to control slug pests in agriculture is the spreading of slug pellets. This method has some downsides, because slug pellets also harm beneficials and often fail because their efficiency depends on the prevailing weather ...

Recolonization by Slugs: Vertical and Horizontal Dispersal by the Field Slug, Deroceras reticulatum
Insects, 2021 Following treatment with molluscicides or other controls, slugs can recolonize a site very quickly, but the proportion of the colonizing slugs moving from adjacent areas (horizontal dispersal) and the proportion from within the soil (vertical dispersal ...

Nematodes Associated with Terrestrial Slugs in Mid-Atlantic (Delaware, USA) Soybean
Agronomy, 2023 Slugs are cryptic terrestrial pests that target a wide range of crops and are especially damaging to seedlings. Management of these invertebrates mostly relies on synthetic chemistry.

Molecular Carcinogenesis, 2010 AbstractThe zinc finger transcription factor Slug (Snai2) serves a wide variety of functions in the epidermis, with roles in skin development, hair growth, wound healing, skin cancer, and sunburn. Slug is expressed in basal keratinocytes and hair follicles where it is important in maintaining epidermal homeostasis.

Surface Characterization of Metallic Fuel Slugs Prepared by Modified Injection Casting [PDF]
Archives of Metallurgy and Materials, 2018 Metallic fuel slugs containing rare-earth (RE) elements have high reactivity with quartz (SiO2) molds, and a reaction layer with a considerable thickness is formed at the surface of metallic fuel slugs. The surface characterization of metallic fuel slugs

Influence of aromatic substances on locomotor activity of Deroceras agreste slugs
Regulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems, 2022 The global climate changes are causing an increase in the number and harmfulness of slugs. Deroceras agreste (Linnaeus, 1758) (Stylommatophora, Agriolimacidae) is a polyphagous phytophage that damages over 150 species of plants, including many vegetables,

Insects, 2021 Classic biological control of pest non-marine molluscs has a long history of disastrous outcomes, and despite claims to the contrary, few advances have been made to ensure that contemporary biocontrol efforts targeting molluscs are safe and effective ...

Fungal spore transport by omnivorous mycophagous slug in temperate forest
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Slugs are important consumers of fungal fruiting bodies and expected to carry their spores. In this study, we examined whether slugs (Meghimatium fruhstorferi) can act as effective dispersers of spores of basidiomycetes.
