Life Table and Demographic Parameters of the Neotropical Apple Snail Asolene platae (Caenogastropoda, Ampullariidae)
(American Malacological Society, 2017-11)
Apple snails are regarded as invasive or potentially problematic species but some species may be under threat. Life tables are a useful tool to understand the growth potential of freshwater snail populations. Our aim was ...
Insights into Embryo Defenses of the Invasive Apple Snail Pomacea canaliculata: Egg Mass Ingestion Affects Rat Intestine Morphology and Growth
(Public Library of Science, 2014-11)
Background: The spread of the invasive snail Pomacea canaliculata is expanding the rat lungworm disease beyond its native range. Their toxic eggs have virtually no predators and unusual defenses including a neurotoxic ...
Functional anatomy of male copulatory organs of Pomacea canaliculata (Caenogastropoda Ampullariidae)
(Springer, 2013-06)
This study was aimed to investigate the functional morphology of copulation and sperm transfer in the invasive snail Pomacea canaliculata. Three-dimensional renderings of the male copulatory apparatus were made and showed ...
Environmental risk assessment for invasive alien species: A case study of apple snails affecting ecosystem services in Europe
(Elsevier Inc, 2017-07)
The assessment of the risk posed by invasive alien species (IAS) to the environment is a component of increasing importance for Pest Risk Analysis. Standardized and comprehensive procedures to assess their impacts on ...
Uric acid-degrading bacteria in the gut of the invading apple snail Pomacea canaliculata and their possible symbiotic significance
(Springer, 2014-10-23)
In previous studies we have mapped uric acid deposits in specialized tissues of the invading apple snail Pomacea canaliculata. Uric acid stores function as reservoirs of combined nitrogen in insects. The first step for ...
Morphological characterization and molecular phylogeny of zoonotic trematodes in the freshwater snail Asolene platae
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-06)
In the context of a broader program dealing with the symbiotic associations of apple snails, we sampled three species that coexist in Lake Regatas (Palermo, Buenos Aires, Argentina). The population of Asolene platae, (but ...
Thermal limits for the establishment and growth of populations of the invasive apple snail Pomacea canaliculata
(Springer, 2017-04)
Pomacea canaliculata is a South American freshwater snail considered as one of the world’s worst invasive alien species. A temperature of around 25 °C has usually been considered to be optimal for rearing P. canaliculata. ...
