Golden apple snails (GAS)(Pomacea spp.) is one of the major pests that rampantly invaded
many countries and brought a heavy bloom to agricultural cultivation. Their invasion had …

Apple snails are one of the most survived fresh water invasive species that causes massive
economic loss to vegetations, especially to the rice fields. They survive against many …

Abstract The Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia is a crucial freshwater biodiversity hotspot and
supports one of the world's largest inland fisheries. Within the Tonle Sap basin, freshwater …

Cryptic species can present a significant challenge to the application of systematic and
biogeographic principles, especially if they are invasive or transmit parasites or pathogens …

The successful establishment of invasive populations is closely linked to environmental
factors. It is unclear whether coexisting species in the native area follow the same genetic …

Cryptic invasions are difficult to distinguish and easily overlooked by conventional
identification methods, creating false biodiversity information. Molecular markers represent …

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 …

Aim Effective control of invasive species and conservation of native biodiversity requires
accurate species identification. Several species of apple snails (Ampullariidae: Pomacea) …

Comprehending the phylogeography of invasive organisms enhances our insight into their
distribution dynamics, which is instrumental for the development of effective prevention and …

Size and shape variations of shells can be used to identify natural phenotypic clusters and
thus delimit snail species. Here, we apply both supervised and unsupervised machine …
