Fluid Toxicities: Violent Affective Ecologies in Cartagena, Colombia
Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.ABSTRACT Water is at the centre of climate change emergency concerns in coastal cities. It constitutes here a fluid entry point to investigating the socio‐ecological politics of toxicities for residents dwelling with and against contaminated waters in Cartagena, Colombia's urban extensions.

The effect of simulating different intermediate host snail species on the link between water temperature and schistosomiasis risk. [PDF]
, 2014 INTRODUCTION: A number of studies have attempted to predict the effects of climate change on schistosomiasis risk. The importance of considering different species of intermediate host snails separately has never previously been explored.

Why pygmy snails lay giant eggs: the kiwi syndrome
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2020 Some minute land snails lay disproportionally large eggs, and the reason is unknown. A possibility is the “Kiwi Syndrome”, in which natural selection pressures associated with low egg predation, heavy predation of the young, and a minimal viable size for hatchlings, force small females to invest in relatively large offspring at the cost of reduced ...

A comparative study of the ultrastructure and mineralogy of calcified land snail eggs (Pulmonata: Stylommatophora) [PDF]
Journal of Morphology, 1976 AbstractThis study indicates that eggs containing calcium carbonate crystals occur in at least 36 of the 65 known families of the land snails (class Gastropoda: order Stylommatophora). Eggs from 22 of these families were available for examination. The x‐ray diffraction data, available for the first time for 21 of these families, shows that these egg ...

Born This Way: Individuality Is Seeded Before Birth and Robust to Ecological Stress
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.We reared and recorded behaviours of clonal Amazon mollies in standardized environments, with and without predation stress, from birth through week four of life, to understand how the developmental environment influences the emergence of behavioural individuality.

Altitudinal variation in size and composition of eggs in the land snail Arianta arbustorum
, 1998 Egg size and egg provisioning are crucial for the survival of offspring in invertebrates without postlaying egg care. The effects of elevation and size of the mother on egg size and on nitrogen and carbon concentrations in eggs were examined in eight ...

THE ACCUMULATION OF NITROGENOUS COMPOUNDS IN TERRESTRIAL AND AQUATIC EGGS OF PROSOBRANCH SNAILS
The Biological Bulletin, 1964 1. Observations on the relative amounts of nitrogenous compounds accumulating in developing eggs lead to the conclusions that embryos of Marisa cornuarietis are ammonotelic, those of Pomacea paludosa uricotelic.2. These results, obtained on related snails differing conspicuously only in embryonic habitat, emphasize the highly adaptive nature of ...

Effect of bird age and storage system on physical properties of eggs from brown laying hens [PDF]
, 2010 A total of 108 eggs from a group of 100 brown laying hens housed in standard cages were analyzed. Thirty-six eggs were retired when the hens had 30 week of age, other 36 eggs were retired when the hens had 35 week of age and the remaining 36 eggs were ...
