The Role of the Proteinase Inhibitor Ovorubin in Apple Snail Eggs Resembles Plant Embryo Defense against Predation

PLoS ONE, 2010
Background Fieldwork has thoroughly established that most eggs are intensely predated. Among the few exceptions are the aerial egg clutches from the aquatic snail Pomacea canaliculata which have virtually no predators.

The microbiota of moon snail egg collars is shaped by host-specific factors

Microbiology Spectrum
Moon snails (Family: Naticidae) lay eggs using a mixture of mucus and sediment to form an egg mass commonly referred to as an egg collar. These egg collars do not appear to experience micro-biofouling or predation, and this observation led us to ...

Integrated Analysis of Survival, Physiological‐Biochemical, and Transcriptomic Changes Reveals the Impact of Saline Stress on the Freshwater Snail Pomacea canaliculata [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Salinity is an important abiotic stress that affects metabolic and physiological activities, breeding, development, and growth of mollusks. In this study, we investigated the effects of a range of water salinity on the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata, a

Glacial-interglacial evolution of seasonal cooling events documented by land-snail eggs from Chinese loess

Quaternary Science Reviews, 2022
The alternations of glacial and interglacial cycles are a classical feature of Quaternary climatic evolution and have been demonstrated to be closely related to seasonal insolation changes at high northern latitudes.
