We expect the rest of Romania to be invaded, because the Danube is not an insurmountable barrier for some of these species.

  • Chocolate-Band Snail Massylaea Vermiculata Syn
    Fact sheet Chocolate-band snail Massylaea vermiculata Syn. Eobania vermiculata Syn. Helix vermiculata Massylaea vermiculata also known as Eobania vermiculata, common name the "chocolate-band snail" is a species of large, air-breathing, land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Helicidae, the true snails or typical snails. This species of large land snail is common in the Mediterranean area and it ranges from eastern Spain to the Crimea. Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment reports that it is occasionally detected at quarantine intervention points (Wharf inspection areas) on the Chocolate band snail (Massylaea vermiculata outside of containers around Australia. Picture: Andreas Gruber. Description The colour of the shell is very variable, whitish to greenish yellow, often with multiple color bands or spots; the lower side is frequently with two brown bands and whitish between lowest band and umbilicus. The shell has 4-4.5 whorls. The width of the shell is 22–32 mm and the height is 14–24 mm. The body of the snail is gray on the dorsal side and yellowish on the ventral side. Ecological Threat With Massylaea vermiculata having a long lifespan from 2 to 5 years an established population can continually grow. The long lifespan could make this species grow from a minor concern to a major concern for native gastropod species, garden plants and agricultural crops alike. Vineyards are very threatened with Massylaea vermiculata being observed on grape plants in their native range. Management This species is considered to represent a potentially serious threat as a pest, an invasive species which could negatively affect agriculture, natural ecosystems, human health or commerce.

  • Molluscs of the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area
    Molluscs of the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area S a b i n e F ISCHER & M i c h a e l D UDA Abstract: Research in the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area (DWA) in the southwest of Lower Austria is mainly concerned with the inventory of flora, fauna and habitats, interdisciplinary monitoring and studies on ecological disturbances and process dynamics. During a four-year qualitative study of non-marine molluscs, 96 sites within the DWA and nearby nature reserves were sampled in cooperation with the “Alpine Land Snails Working Group” located at the Natural History Museum of Vienna. Altogether, 84 taxa were recorded (72 land snails, 12 water snails and mussels) including four endemics and seven species listed in the Austrian Red List of Molluscs. A reference collection (empty shells) of molluscs, which is stored at the DWA administration, was created. This project was the first systematic survey of mollusc fauna in the DWA. Further sampling might provide additional information in the future, particularly for Hydrobiidae in springs and caves, where detailed analyses (e.g. anatomical and genetic) are needed. Key words: Wilderness Dürrenstein, Primeval forest, Benign neglect, Non-intervention management, Mollusca, Snails, Alpine endemics.

Conids are well known for being active predators on worms, fishes, and even other snails. Cones are venomous gastropods, meaning that they use a sophisticated cocktail of hundreds of toxins, named conotoxins, to subdue their prey. Although this venom has been studied for decades, most of the effort has been focused on Indo-Pacific species. Thus far, Atlantic species have received little attention despite recent radiations have led to a hotspot of diversity in West Africa, with high levels of endemic species. In fact, the Atlantic Chelyconus ermineus is thought to represent an adaptation to piscivory independent from the Indo-Pacific species and is, therefore, key to understanding the basis of this diet specialization. We studied the transcriptomes of the venom gland of three individuals of C. ermineus. The venom repertoire of this species included more than 300 conotoxin precursors, which could be ascribed to 33 known and 22 new (unassigned) protein superfamilies, respectively. Most abundant superfamilies were T, W, O1, M, O2, and Z, accounting for 57% of all detected diversity.
