First record of two slug mite species of the genus Riccardoella Berlese (Acari: Ereynetidae) in Serbia [PDF]

open access: yesPesticidi i Fitomedicina, 2016
The paper presents the first data on slug mites Riccardoella (Riccardoella) limacum (Schrank) and R. (Proriccardoella) oudemansiThor (Acari: Ereynetidae) in Serbia. The two parasitic species were detected on seven species of snails and slugs (Gastropoda,

Introgressive replacement of natives by invading Arion pest slugs

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Hybridization with invasive species is one of the major threats to the phenotypic and genetic persistence of native organisms worldwide. Arion vulgaris (syn. lusitanicus) is a major agricultural pest slug that successfully invaded many European countries

The proppin Bcas3 and its interactor KinkyA localize to the early phagophore and regulate autophagy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
To resolve the signaling mechanisms that mediate the starvation-induced processes of Dictyostelium sporulation and encystation, we performed insertional mutagenesis on cells harboring an mRFP-tagged spore gene.

Dynamics of a structured slug population model in the absence of seasonal variation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We develop a novel, nonlinear structured population model for the slug Deroceras reticulatum, a highly significant agricultural pest of great economic impact, in both organic and non-organic settings. In the absence of seasonal variations, we numerically

Chemical Compounds Toxic to Invertebrates Isolated from Marine Cyanobacteria of Potential Relevance to the Agricultural Industry

open access: yesToxins, 2014
In spite of advances in invertebrate pest management, the agricultural industry is suffering from impeded pest control exacerbated by global climate changes that have altered rain patterns to favour opportunistic breeding.

The potential of carabid beetles (Coleoptera) to reduce slug damage to oilseed rape in the laboratory

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2003
Slugs are important pests of many agricultural crops, especially oilseed rape. The carabid beetles Pterostichus melanarius Illiger and Poecilus cupreus L.

Comparison of sister species identifies factors underpinning plastid compatibility in green sea slugs

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015
The only animal cells known that can maintain functional plastids (kleptoplasts) in their cytosol occur in the digestive gland epithelia of sacoglossan slugs.

Potential distribution of the invasive species of slugs Arion Lusitanicus Sensu Lato in Europe

open access: yesБіологічні студії, 2015
Ecological niche modeling (BIOCLIM) of the invasive slug Arion lusitanicus sensu lato was carried out. Considerable potential for further spread of this species was established. This species was found only in Western Ukraine before our study. However the

Toxicity of Euphorbia helioscopia pellets to two phytophagous molluscs, Theba pisana Müller, 1774 (Pulmonata: Helicidae) and Arion hortensis Férussac, 1819 (Pulmonata: Arionidae) [PDF]

open access: yesPesticidi i Fitomedicina, 2018
Harmful land snails and slugs are currently one of the most important threats facing agriculture in many parts of the world. Synthetic molluscicides are the main control method against these gastropods.

Photoprotection in sequestered plastids of sea slugs and respective algal sources

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2015
Some sea slugs are capable of retaining functional sequestered chloroplasts (kleptoplasts) for variable periods of time. The mechanisms supporting the maintenance of these organelles in animal hosts are still largely unknown. Non-photochemical quenching (
