  • The Appropriateness of Using Aquatic Snails As Bioindicators of Toxicity for Oil Sands Process-Affected Water
    Review The Appropriateness of Using Aquatic Snails as Bioindicators of Toxicity for Oil Sands Process-Affected Water Zhongzhi Chen * , Brian Eaton and Jim Davies InnoTech Alberta, Vegreville, AB T9C 1T4, Canada; [email protected] (B.E.); [email protected] (J.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-780-208-0371 Abstract: Canada’s oil sands mining activity produces large volumes of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW), and there have been increasing concerns regarding the potential environmental impacts associated with this material. Developing an understanding of the toxicity of OSPW is critical to anticipating and mitigating the potential risks and effects of the oil sands industry on surrounding ecosystems. The composition of OSPW is highly variable and is influenced by a range of factors. While numerous research projects have been conducted on the toxicity of OSPW, much remains unknown about its impact on various biota. Freshwater gastropods (snails and slugs) are an ecologically crucial aquatic group, and members of this taxa have been used as bioindicators in a range of ecological settings. The literature suggests freshwater snails could be used as an indicator of toxicity in monitoring programs associated with oil sands development. This mini-review explores the use of snails as bioindicators in aquatic systems affected by oil sands development, focusing on how snails may respond to potential constituents of concern in systems exposed to OSPW. Keywords: snail (aquatic/freshwater); bioindicator; toxicity effects; oil sands; process water; OSPW Citation: Chen, Z.; Eaton, B.; 1. Introduction Davies, J. The Appropriateness of Oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) is a term used to denote those waters whose Using Aquatic Snails as Bioindicators composition has been altered by bitumen extraction or material transport processes [1].

Corresponding Author: [email protected] Received: August, 2016 Revised and Accepted: November, 2016 Abstract Schistosomiasis is considered as one of the most important trematode disease of man. The most important goal of the present study is to use the natural plants as cheaper and available sources for snail control. Snails’ species are associated with transmission of parasitic disease as intermediate host. This research was conducted to determine the Molluscicidal activities of some selected plants leaves extracts against freshwater snail Lanistes ovum. The plants include; Khaya senegalensis, Senna occidentalis and Vernonia amygdalina. The results of qualitative Phytochemical screening conducted on the plants revealed the presence of different phytochemical compounds which such as Tannins, Saponins, Flavonoids, Cardiac glysides, Alkaloides and Inulin. The results of toxicity studies of the plants conducted against the experimental snails indicated that, there was significant negative correlation between LC values and exposure periods. Thus with increase in exposure periods the LC 50 values decreased from 395.58 mg/L (24 hours) to 216.48mg/L (72 hours and 96 hours was 100%) in Vernonia amaydina, Khaya senegalensis and Senna occidentalis. The LC 90 (24 hours) doses of these plants against snails exhibited no mortality in non-target organism, Tilapia fish (Tilapia zilli).

To evaluate the population dynamics of P. flagellata, monthly samples were collected from Guerrero Lagoon (Yucatán Peninsula) from June 2012 to May 2013. The measured environmental variables did not differ significantly among the sampling stations. However, salinity was lower during the rainy season, and the temperature was lower during the north season (i.e., the season dominated by cold fronts). The snails were more abundant during the rainy season, and they were restricted to the portion of the lagoon that receives freshwater discharges. The snails ranged from 4 to 55 mm in size, with a –1 maximum estimated length of L∞ = 57.75 mm and a growth rate of K = 0.68 y (the abbreviation “y” means “year”) with a seasonal oscillation; the lowest growth rate occurred in early December.

  • Old Fossils–Young Species: Evolutionary History of an Endemic
    Downloaded from http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/ on September 20, 2017 Proc. R. Soc. B doi:10.1098/rspb.2009.0467 Published online Old fossils–young species: evolutionary history of an endemic gastropod assemblage in Lake Malawi Roland Schultheiß1,*, Bert Van Bocxlaer2, Thomas Wilke1 and Christian Albrecht1 1Department of Animal Ecology and Systematics, Justus Liebig University Giessen, Heinrich-Buff-Ring 26-32 (IFZ ), 35392 Giessen, Germany 2Department of Geology and Soil Science, Research Unit Palaeontology, Ghent University, Krijgslaan 281 S8, 9000 Ghent, Belgium Studies on environmental changes provide important insights into modes of speciation, into the (adaptive) reoccupation of ecological niches and into species turnover. Against this background, we here examine the history of the gastropod genus Lanistes in the African Rift Lake Malawi, guided by four general evolutionary scenarios, and compare it with patterns reported from other endemic Malawian rift taxa. Based on an integrated approach using a mitochondrial DNA phylogeny and a trait-specific molecular clock in combination with insights from the fossil record and palaeoenvironmental data, we demonstrate that the accumulation of extant molecular diversity in the endemic group did not start before approximately 600 000 years ago from a single lineage. Fossils of the genus from the Malawi Rift, however, are over one million years older. We argue that severe drops in the lake level of Lake Malawi in the Pleistocene offer a potential explanation for this pattern. Our results also challenge previously established phylogenetic relationships within the genus by revealing parallel evolution and providing evidence that the endemic Lanistes species are not restricted to the lake proper but are present throughout the Malawi Rift.

  • 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.

    POTENTIAL THREATS OF THE EXOTIC APPLE SNAIL POMACEA INSULARUM TO AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS IN GEORGIA AND FLORIDA by SHELLEY MARIE ROBERTSON (Under the Direction of Susan Bennett Wilde) ABSTRACT The Island apple snail, Pomacea insularum is a freshwater gastropod in the family Ampullaridae. It was introduced into the United States via the aquarium trade approximately 30 years ago and now has established reproducing populations in at least seven southeastern states. It is a highly invasive species with high rates of reproduction and consumption of native aquatic vegetation. A survey of reported Georgia populations confirmed that there are at least ten individual occurrences of exotic apple snails in the state, and that they have not reached their equilibrium distribution. We also investigated the ability of P. insularum to harbor a cyanotoxin that may be detrimental to its avian predator in Florida, the endangered Florida snail kite (Rostrhamus sociabilis). The invasive P. insularum transferred the undescribed cyanotoxin associated with Avian Vacuolar Myelinopathy to domestic chickens in a laboratory feeding study.
