Tributyltin bioaccumulation and toxic effects in freshwater gastropods Pomacea canaliculata after a chronic exposure: field and laboratory studies
(Springer, 2017-07)
Freshwater samples and gastropod mollusks (Pomacea canaliculata) were collected at 5 sampling stations located along the lower Río de la Plata basin, Argentina, to assess the extent of tributyltin (TBT) contamination. ...
Resource partitioning and adequacy among ontogenetic groups in a hermit crab and gastropod shell network
(2021-03-01)
In ecology, interaction networks allow the investigation of how interactions among species affect community structure and functioning. The structure of interaction networks can be nested and/or modular. Ecologically, the ...
The effect of food supply on feeding strategy in sessile female gastropods crepidula fecunda

RXR Expression in Marine Gastropods with Different Sensitivity to Imposex Development
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-06)
The superposition of male sexual characteristics in female marine gastropods (imposex) represents one of the clearest ecological examples of organotin-mediated endocrine disruption. Recent evidences suggest that signaling ...
Aging and retinoid X receptor agonists on masculinization of female Pomacea canaliculata, with a critical appraisal of imposex evaluation in the Ampullariidae
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2019-03)
Ampullariidae are unique among gastropods in that females normally show a primordium of the copulatory apparatus (CApp). The aims of this study were (a) to quantitatively evaluate the development and growth of the female ...
Shell occupation by the South Atlantic endemic hermit crab Loxopagurus loxochelis (Moreira, 1901) (Anomura: Diogenidae)
(Sociedade Brasileira de Carcinologia, 2013-12-01)
The evaluation of population characteristics, particularly those of endemic species, aids in population preservation and management. Hermit crabs present an innate behavior of occupying shells, which tends to individual ...
Maturity Assessment for the Implementation of the First Fishery Regulation in Patagonian Marine Gastropods
(Institute of Malacology, 2020-08)
In order to establish management measures for a new resource, the size at first maturity should be studied. This measurement is a powerful tool in enabling the sustainable exploitation of marine benthic resources. Patagonian ...
