Therefore, a field study on the relative effectiveness of locally available and cost effective plant-based traps against Pomacea spp. was conducted. Results showed jackfruit skin (9.03 ± 0.60 / m2 and 6.03 ± 0.60 / m2) and damaged pomelo (9.00 ± 0.61 / m2 and 5.78 ± 0.74 / m2) were relatively more effective than tapioca leaves, water spinach leaves and old newspaper. Snails also displayed preference for fresh materials as compared to rotten materials. Thus, incorporating these findings in rice fields during early susceptible growth will ease the collection and destruction of snails.

Day2 Abstract Following reports of an invasive snail causing crop damage in the expansive Mwea irrigation scheme in Kenya, samples of snails and associated egg masses were collected and sent to CABI laboratories in the UK for molecular identifcation. DNA barcoding analyses using the cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene gave preliminary identifcation of the snails as Pomacea canaliculata, widely considered to have the potential to be one of the most invasive inver- tebrates of waterways and irrigation systems worldwide and which is already causing issues throughout much of south-east Asia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the frst documented record of P. canaliculata in Kenya, and the frst confrmed record of an established population in continental Africa. This timely identifcation shows the beneft of molecular identifcation and the need for robust species identifcations: even a curated sequence database such as that provided by the Barcoding of Life Data system may require additional checks on the veracity of the underlying identifcations. We found that the egg mass tested gave an identical barcode sequence to the adult snails, allowing identifcations to be made more rapidly. Part of the nuclear elongation factor 1 alpha gene was sequenced to confrm that the snail was P.

Fasulo2 Introduction in the northern tier of Florida counties and northward except where the water is artificially heated by industrial Applesnails are larger than most freshwater snails and can wastewater or in warm springs. It occurs as far west as be separated from other freshwater species by their oval the Choctawhatchee River. It is easily distinguished from shell that has the umbilicus (the axially aligned, hollow, other applesnails in Florida by the low, strongly rounded cone-shaped space within the whorls of a coiled mollusc shell spike, and measures about 40–70 mm (Capinera and shell) of the shell perforated or broadly open. There are four White 2011). species of Pomacea in Florida, one of which is native and considered beneficial (Capinera and White 2011). Species Found in Florida Of the four species of applesnails in Florida, only the Florida applesnail is a native species, while the other three species are introduced. All are tropical/subtropical species in the genus Pomacea, and are not known to withstand water temperatures below 10°C (FFWCC 2006). • Pomacea paludosa (Say 1829), the Florida applesnail, occurs throughout peninsular Florida (Thompson 1984). Based on fossil finds, it is a native snail that has existed in Florida since the Pliocene. It is also native to Cuba and Hispaniola (FFWCC 2006). Collections have been made in Alabama, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Oklahoma and South Carolina (USGS 2006). It is the principal Figure 1.

Av. Benavides 5400, Surco. P.O. Box 18-131. Lima, Perú. Abstract: Peru is an ecologically diverse country, with 84 life zones in the Holdridge system and 18 ecological regions (including two marine). 1910 molluscan species have been recorded. The highest number corresponds to the sea: 570 gastropods, 370 bivalves, 36 cephalopods, 34 polyplacoforans, 3 monoplacophorans, 3 scaphopods and 2 aplacophorans (total 1018 species). The most diverse families are Veneridae (57spp.), Muricidae (47spp.), Collumbellidae (40 spp.) and Tellinidae (37 spp.). Biogeographically, 56 % of marine species are Panamic, 11 % Peruvian and the rest occurs in both provinces; 73 marine species are endemic to Peru. Land molluscs include 763 species, 2.54 % of the global estimate and 38 % of the South American esti- mate. The most biodiverse families are Bulimulidae with 424 spp., Clausiliidae with 75 spp. and Systrophiidae with 55 spp. In contrast, only 129 freshwater species have been reported, 35 endemics (mainly hydrobiids with 14 spp. The paper includes an overview of biogeography, ecology, use, history of research efforts and conser- vation; as well as indication of areas and species that are in greater need of study.

  • Symbionts and Diseases Associated with Invasive Apple Snails
    Symbionts and diseases associated with invasive apple snails Cristina Damborenea, Francisco Brusa and Lisandro Negrete CONICET, División Zoología Invertebrados, Museo de La Plata (FCNyM-UNLP), Paseo del Bosque, 1900 La Plata, Argentina. Email: [email protected], fbrusa@ fcnym.unlp.edu.ar, [email protected] Abstract This contribution summarizes knowledge of organisms associated with apple snails, mainly Pomacea spp., either in a facultative or obligate manner, paying special attention to diseases transmitted via these snails to humans. A wide spectrum of epibionts on the shell and operculum of snails are discussed. Among them algae, ciliates, rotifers, nematodes, flatworms, oligochaetes, dipterans, bryozoans and leeches are facultative, benefitting from the provision of substrate, transport, access to food and protection. Among obligate symbionts, five turbellarian species of the genusTemnocephala are known from the branchial cavity, with T. iheringi the most common and abundant. The leech Helobdella ampullariae also spends its entire life cycle inside the branchial cavity; two copepod species and one mite are found in different sites inside the snails. Details of the nature of the relationships of these specific obligate symbionts are poorly known. Also, extensive studies of an intracellular endosymbiosis are summarized. Apple snails are the first or second hosts of several digenean species, including some bird parasites.A number of human diseases are transmitted by apple snails, angiostrongyliasis being the most important because of the potential seriousness of the disease. Additional keywords: Ampullariidae, Angiostrongylus, commensals, diseases, epibionts, parasites, Pomacea, symbiosis 73 Introduction The term “apple snail” refers to a number of species of freshwater snails belonging to the family Ampullariidae (Caenogastropoda) inhabiting tropical and subtropical regions (Hayes et al., 2015).

  • Pomacea Canaliculata) Behaviors in Different Water Temperature Gradients
    water Article Comparison of Invasive Apple Snail (Pomacea canaliculata) Behaviors in Different Water Temperature Gradients Mi-Jung Bae 1, Eui-Jin Kim 1 and Young-Seuk Park 2,* 1 Nakdonggang National Institute of Biological Resources, Sangju 37242, Korea; [email protected] (M.-J.B.); [email protected] (E.-J.K.) 2 Department of Biology, Kyung Hee University, Dongdaemun, Seoul 02447, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-961-0946 Abstract: Pomacea canaliculata (known as invasive apple snail) is a freshwater snail native to South America that was introduced into many countries (including Asia and North America) as a food source or for organic farming systems. However, it has invaded freshwater ecosystems and become a serious agricultural pest in paddy fields. Water temperature is an important factor determining behavior and successful establishment in new areas. We examined the behavioral responses of P. canaliculata with water temperature changes from 25 ◦C to 30 ◦C, 20 ◦C, and 15 ◦C by quantifying changes in nine behaviors. At the acclimated temperature (25 ◦C), the mobility of P. canaliculata was low during the day, but high at night. Clinging behavior increased as the water temperature decreased from 25 ◦C to 20 ◦C or 15 ◦C. Conversely, ventilation and food consumption increased when the water temperature increased from 25 ◦C to 30 ◦C. A self-organizing map (an unsupervised artificial neural network) was used to classify the behavioral patterns into seven clusters at different water temperatures. These results suggest that the activity levels or certain behaviors of P. canaliculata vary with the water temperature conditions.
