Experimental evidence of internal transport of invasive apple snail eggs by waterbirds [PDF]

Aquatic Invasions
The potential role of waterbirds in the dispersal of invasive apple snail Pomacea canaliculata was evaluated by feeding their eggs to mallards Anas platyrhynchos and quantifying the recovery of intact and viable eggs in their faeces and regurgitations. A

Metabolism of ovorubin, the major egg lipoprotein from the apple snail [PDF]

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2003
The site of synthesis of molluscs lipoproteins is little known and was investigated for the egg lipoprotein perivitellin 1 (PV 1) or ovorubin in the freshwater snail Pomacea canaliculata. Tissues (albumen gland, gonad-digestive gland complex and muscle) of vitellogenic females were incubated in vitro at 25 degrees C for 12 h with 14C Leucine.

Egg perivitelline fluid proteome of a freshwater snail: Insight into the transition from aquatic to terrestrial egg deposition [PDF]

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, 2020
Rationale Proteins from the egg perivitelline fluid (PVF) are assumed to play critical roles in embryonic development, but for many groups of animals their identities remain unknown. Identifying egg PVF proteins is a critical step towards understanding their functions including their roles in evolutionary ...
