(2017-01-01)
The periodic variation in the water level of the Amazon basin is the mainfactor that determines the composition of the community of aquaticorganisms due to cyclical changes. As the dry season in the Amazonregion may vary ...
Evolutionary and functional significance of lengthy copulations in a promiscuous apple snail, Pomacea canaliculata (Caenogastropoda: Ampullariidae)
(Oxford University Press, 2011-02)
The peculiar adaptations of the dioecious freshwater snails belonging to the family Ampullariidae have recently been recognized as important, albeit neglected, models for evolutionary ecology studies. A review of the ...
Exceeding its own limits: range expansion in Argentina of the globally invasive apple snail Pomacea canaliculata
(Springer, 2021-01-30)
Pomacea canaliculata is a freshwater snail native to southern South America. The aims of this work are to update its distribution in Argentina and to analyze through niche models whether the environmental conditions from ...
Effects of food availability on reproductive output, offspring quality and reproductive efficiency in the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata
(Springer, 2011-10)
Phenotypic plasticity in life history traits favors the establishment of invaders and may magnify their ecological impacts. Pomacea canaliculata, the only freshwater snail listed among the 100 worst invaders worldwide, is ...
