First proteome of the egg perivitelline fluid of a freshwater gastropod with aerial oviposition
(American Chemical Society, 2012-08)
Pomacea canaliculata is a freshwater snail that deposits eggs on solid substrates above the water surface. Previous studies have emphasized the nutritional and protective functions of the three most abundant perivitelline ...
Apple Snail Perivitellin Precursor Properties Help Explain Predators’ Feeding Behavior
(University of Chicago Press, 2017-12)
In contrast with vitellogenin maturation, it is unknown whether gastropod perivitellin precursors are subject to large structural changes. The gastropod reproductive tract includes an accessory organ, the albumen gland ...
Novel Animal Defenses against Predation: A Snail Egg Neurotoxin Combining Lectin and Pore-Forming Chains That Resembles Plant Defense and Bacteria Attack Toxins
(Public Library of Science, 2013-05)
Although most eggs are intensely predated, the aerial egg clutches from the aquatic snail Pomacea canaliculata have only one reported predator due to unparalleled biochemical defenses. These include two storage-proteins: ...
