How organisms gather and utilize information about their landscapes is central to
understanding land-use patterns and population distributions. When such information …

Mucus is applied to substrates as snails move and when they rest. Beyond the use of mucus
in movement and adhesion, the wide array of chemicals in mucus allows for supplemental …

The perceptual range of an organism is the distance at which landscape elements are
recognised by it. Estimates of this sensory trait are relevant to understand how organisms …

Invasive snails and slugs are among the most damaging pests of vegetables, fruits,
ornamentals, grains, and forage throughout the world. Current control strategies are focused …

Terrestrial mollusks are one of the least studied groups of terrestrial invertebrates, especially
in the Neotropics. In Chile, there is scarce biological and ecological information about many …

Dispersal movements, ie movements leading to gene flow, are key behaviours with
important, but only partially understood, consequences for the dynamics and evolution of …

The extreme fragmentation of natural habitats due to urbanisation can influence the
evolution of dispersal strategies in species persisting in cities. The brown garden snail …

A developing body of theory and empirical evidence suggest that feeding behaviour as
measured by the functional response (FR) can assist researchers in assessing the relative …

The food preferences and palatability of different plant species for snail and slug species in
arable fields has been a major area of research in the past. The assumed diet of Helix …

Simple Summary The Grey Field Slug, Deroceras reticulatum (Müller), is a common crop
pest worldwide. To control slugs, chemicals, such as metaldehyde are incorporated into …
