Slug grazing effects on seedling and adult life stages of North American Prairie plants used in designed urban landscapes [PDF]
, 2011 Designed vegetation is a major contributor to ecosystem service provision incities, and as such the study of how herbivory and other ecological factors determine its capacity to deliver such services, is long overdue.

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

An analytical model for gas overpressure in slug-driven explosions:insights into Strombolian volcanic eruptions [PDF]
, 2012 Strombolian eruptions, common at basaltic volcanoes, are mildly explosive events that are driven by a large bubble of magmatic gas (a slug) rising up the conduit and bursting at the surface.

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

Patterns of cell movement within the Dictyostelium slug revealed by cell type-specific, surface labeling of living cells [PDF]
, 1994 There are cells acattered in the rear, prespore region of the Dictyostelium slug that share many of the properties of the prestalk cells and that are therefore called anterior-like cells (ALCs).
