C* and Ugwu, S. O. C. Department of Animal Science, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Accepted 26 August, 2011 Three populations of Archachatina marginata snails (P 1, P 2 and P 3) obtained from natural snail habitats located in three states of Nigeria (one population per state) namely Enugu, Edo and River States were evaluated for pre-mating reproductive isolation using mate-choice tests. Total number of mated snails were very small (19.2%) compared to the number tested. Mating propensity (MP) varied significantly (P ≤ 0.05) among snail populations in two test groups and observed MP in the test groups differed significantly (chi-square test, P <<<0.05; 0.001) from that expected under random mating. Pair formation was significantly (chi-square test, P <<< 0.05; 0.001) influenced by differences in MP and within-population (homotypic) and between population (heterotypic) mating occurred in frequencies that differed significantly (chi-square test, P ℜℜℜ 0.05; 0.001) from that expected under random mating. Whereas observed heterotypic pair formation were less than that expected under random mating, homotypic pair formation were either equal or more than that expected under random mating. Duration of reproductive activities differed significantly (P ≤ 0.05) among test populations. It was concluded that reduced pair formation, elongated duration of courtship, and reduced mating between populations of A.

It is known for its destructive nature on cultivated crops wherever it occurs and is one of the world’s largest and most damaging land snail pests. The pest is an East African origin, has spread in recent times by travel and trade to many countries. They now widely KEY WORDS : distributed and no longer limited to their region of origin due to several factors viz., high Bioecology, Management, Giant reproductive capacity, voracious feeding habit, inadequate quarantine management and human African snail, Achatina fulica aided dispersal. A. fulica can cause serious economic damage on different crops and extensive rasping (scrapping), defoliation, slime trials, or ribbon like excrement is signs of infestation. In recent times, severe outbreak of this pest has been noticed due to some desirable agricultural and gardening practices like minimum tillage practices and straw retention techniques which help in survival of snails and make seedlings more susceptible to damage. This review paper aims to enlighten on taxonomy, distribution, extent of damage, morphology, biology, ecology, homing behaviour, seasonal incidence, nature of damage, host plants of A.

  • Growth Response of Tiger Giant Land Snail Hatchlings Achatina Achatina Linne to Different Compounded Diets
    International Journal of Agriculture and Earth Science Vol. 3 No. 6 2017 ISSN 2489-0081 www.iiardpub.org Growth Response of Tiger Giant Land Snail Hatchlings Achatina Achatina Linne to Different Compounded Diets Akpobasa, B. I. O. Department of Agricultural Technology, Delta State Polytechnic, Ozoro, Delta State, Nigeria [email protected] Abstract This experiment was conducted at the snailery unit of the Delta State Polytechnic Ozoro to study the effects of different compounded diets on the growth response of hatlings Tiger giants land snail (Archatina archatina). Different feed ingredients were used for the compoundment. Three diets were formulated with crude protein percentage of 15%, 20% and 25%. A 2 x 3 factorial arrangement in CRD was used with six treatments. Each treatment was replicated thrice with five snails per replicate. The trial lasted for 90 days. The protein source main effects were significant (P<0.05) in average daily feed intake which was higher in feeds with soyabeen cake than groundnut cake. The higher crude protein percentage diet influence growth rate of the hatchlings more as well as been significant (P<0.05) in feed conversion ratio. Mortality was not recorded during the experiment. The diet with higher protein percentage 25% should be considered most appropriate since the growth rate of snail hatchlings increased as the crude protein level increased in the compounded diet. INTRODUCTION The present level of livestock production cannot meet daily demand for animal protein , this have affected the animal protein intake by Nigerians which is below 67g as recommended by the World Health Organization (Kehinde et al., 2002), and thus has led to an acute malnutrition amongst the greater percentage of the rural populace [FAO,1986].

    Biological Journal ofthe Linnean Society (1990), 40: 67-98. With 10 figures History as a cause of area effects: an illustration from Cerion on Great Inagua, Bahamas STEPHEN JAY GOULD Museum of Comparative <oology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, U.S.A. AND DAVID S. WOODRUFF Department of Biology C-016, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, Callfornia 92093, U.S.A. Received 3 February 1989, accepted for publication 31 August 1989 The two parts of this paper work towards the common aim of setting contexts for and documenting explanations based on historical contingencies. The first part is a review of area effects in Cepaea. We discuss the original definitions and explanations, emphasizing the debate of adaptationist us. stochastic approaches, but arguing that the contrast of historical contingency us. selective fit to environment forms a more fruitful and fundamental context in discussing the origin of area effects. We argue that contingencies of bottlenecks and opening of formerly unsuited habitats may explain the classic area effects of Cepaea better than selectionist accounts originally proposed. The second part is a documentation of an area effect within Cerion columna on the northern coast of Great Inagua, Bahamas. Historical explanations are often plagued by insufficiency of preserved information, but the Inagua example provides an unusual density of data, with several independent criteria all pointing to the same conclusion. Shells in the area effect are squat and flat-topped in contrast with typical populations of long, thin, tapering shells living both east and west of the area effect. The flat-topped area effect is a result of introgression with a propagule of the C.

After macroscopic observation of snails, the hepatopancreas, digestive tract, sex organs, slime and haemolymph were isolated. These samples were examined using the flotation techniques and direct rubbing. Of the 360 snails sampled, 213 (59.3%) were infested, that is 147 (82.1%) for A. marginata and 66 (36.7%) for A. fulica respectively. The highest infestation rate was recorded on protozoans (41.4%) followed by nematode (24.7%). The most represented parasites were Trichodina achatinae (23.9%) and Strongyloides stercoralis (16.1%); while the least represented were cyst of Balantidium coli (8.1%), Enteromonas sp. (8.1%), cyst of Isospora sp. (7.8%), larva of Protostrongylus sp. (7.5%), cyst of Cryptosporidium sp.

Wear rubber or latex gloves when handling mollusks, associated soil, excrement or other materials that may have come Important in contact with the snails. Immediately after removing protective gloves, thoroughly wash hands with hot soapy water and rinse well.

    EENY-494 Terrestrial Slugs of Florida (Gastropoda: Stylommatophora)1 John L. Capinera2 Introduction Florida has only a few terrestrial slug species that are native (indigenous), but some non-native (nonindigenous) species have successfully established here. Many interceptions of slugs are made by quarantine inspectors (Robinson 1999), including species not yet found in the United States or restricted to areas of North America other than Florida. In addition to the many potential invasive slugs originating in temperate climates such as Europe, the traditional source of invasive molluscs for the US, Florida is also quite susceptible to invasion by slugs from warmer climates. Indeed, most of the invaders that have established here are warm-weather or tropical species. Following is a discus- sion of the situation in Florida, including problems with Figure 1. Lateral view of slug showing the breathing pore (pneumostome) open. When closed, the pore can be difficult to locate. slug identification and taxonomy, as well as the behavior, Note that there are two pairs of tentacles, with the larger, upper pair ecology, and management of slugs. bearing visual organs. Credits: Lyle J. Buss, UF/IFAS Biology as nocturnal activity and dwelling mostly in sheltered Slugs are snails without a visible shell (some have an environments. Slugs also reduce water loss by opening their internal shell and a few have a greatly reduced external breathing pore (pneumostome) only periodically instead of shell). The slug life-form (with a reduced or invisible shell) having it open continuously. Slugs produce mucus (slime), has evolved a number of times in different snail families, which allows them to adhere to the substrate and provides but this shell-free body form has imparted similar behavior some protection against abrasion, but some mucus also and physiology in all species of slugs.
