The “Slugs-test” for extrusion-based additive manufacturing: Protocol, analysis and practical limits
, 2021 This paper introduces a novel rheological technique allowing for the assessment of printable materials yield stress at nozzle exit in the case of extrusion-based 3D printing. This technique is derived from the analysis of the specific gravity-induced non-

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.

Reducing the Application Rate of Molluscicide Pellets for the Invasive Spanish Slug, Arion vulgaris
Insects, 2022 Arion vulgaris are mostly controlled using chemical molluscicide products, and the detrimental environmental effects of these molluscicides can be reduced by decreasing the number of pellets applied per unit area.

Efficacy of invasive alien plants in controlling Arionidae slugs
Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2020 Aim of study: To develop an alternative slug control method, we explored the use of plant material from seven invasive plant species against Arion slugs. Area of study: The experiments were performed at the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia).
