“…For instance, a terrestrial snail, Zonitoides arboreus (Say, 1817), fed lettuce treated with neem extracts consumed signiWcantly more lettuce than control. This eVect occurred both for neem oil and a chemical pesticide having azadirachtin as the active ingredient (Hollingsworth and Armstrong 2003). It is evident from our results that Nimbecidine ® has antifeedant eVect against M. obstructa and the eVect was dose dependent.…”

“…This plant-derived pesticide was tested separately or in combinations with other herbal extracts, commercial pesticides or adjuvants (e.g. Singh et al 1996Singh et al , 1998Rao and Singh 2000;Singh 2000, 2001;Iglesias et al 2002a, b;Pal et al 2002;Hollingsworth and Armstrong 2003;Pallabi et al 2007). Antifeedant activity of neem preparations has also been tested against terrestrial and aquatic snails; however, the results are inconsistent and diVer according to snail species.…”

Effect of botanical insecticide Nimbecidine® on food consumption and egg hatchability of the terrestrial snail Monacha obstructa

et al. 2009

In the laboratory, a commercial neem-based insecticide-Nimbecidine ® -was evaluated as a potential pest management tool for the terrestrial snail, Monacha obstructa (PfeiVer, 1842) (Hygromiidae). EVects of diVerent concentrations of the botanical insecticide on food consumption and egg hatchability of the terrestrial snail were studied. Generally, food consumption of immature and adult snails decreased as the concentrations of Nimbecidine ® increased. At the highest concentration (10 ml/l), the snails avoided contacting with food completely. The food intake of immature individuals was signiWcantly (p < 0.05) more aVected by the Nimbecidine ® treatment (at 1.25 ml/l) than that of adults. LC 50 of Nimbecidine ® for the treated eggs was 2.18 ml/l, and eggs failed to hatch at concentration of 10 ml/l. Nimbecidine ® showed suYcient biological activity against the food consumption and eggs viability of M. obstructa, thus the preparation has a potential to protect Weld crops from this pest snails.

“…This indicates that gastropod impacts are well researched, further reinforced by a high average number of publications per studied species for environmental (5.6) and socioeconomic (8.9) impacts (Bacher et al., ; Evans et al., ). The fact that gastropods’ socioeconomic impacts are better‐studied than their environmental impacts is likely due to their global status as agricultural and horticultural pests (here included under “Material and immaterial goods for good life”; Barker, ; Hollingsworth & Armstrong, ; Keiser, Häberli, & Stamp, ; Nash & Hoffmann, ; Simms, Ester, & Wilson, ), which provides economic incentive to study them. This is reflected in the vast amount of research effort put into mitigating agricultural and horticultural impacts by gastropods (Charwat et al., ; Coupland & Baker, ; Desbiolles, Ballantyne, & Richards, ; Jeong, Lee, Hong, Shin, & Yun, ; Nash & Hoffmann, ).…”

Gastropods alien to South Africa cause severe environmental harm in their global alien ranges across habitats

Alien gastropods have caused extensive harm to biodiversity and socioeconomic systems like agriculture and horticulture worldwide. For conservation and management purposes, information on impacts needs to be easily interpretable and comparable, and the factors that determine impacts understood. This study aimed to assess gastropods alien to South Africa to compare impact severity between species and understand how they vary between habitats and mechanisms. Furthermore, we explore the relationship between environmental and socioeconomic impacts, and both impact measures with life‐history traits. We used the Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT) and Socio‐Economic Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (SEICAT) to assess impacts of 34 gastropods alien to South Africa including evidence of impact from their entire alien range. We tested for correlations between environmental and socioeconomic impacts per species, and with fecundity and native latitude range using Kendall's tau tests. Kruskal–Wallis tests were used to compare impact magnitude among mechanisms and habitats, respectively. This study presents the first application of EICAT and SEICAT for invertebrates. There was no correlation between environmental impacts and socioeconomic impacts. Habitats did not differ regarding the severity of impacts recorded, but impacts via disease transmission were lower than other mechanisms. Neither fecundity nor native range latitude was correlated with impact magnitude. Despite gastropods being agricultural and horticultural pests globally, resilience of socioeconomic systems makes high impacts uncommon. Environmental systems may be vulnerable to gastropod impacts across habitats, having experienced multiple local extinctions of wetland island snail fauna. South Africa stands out as the only continental country that follows this trend. The knowledge gained on severity and nature of gastropod impacts is useful in risk assessment, which can aid conservation management. To make impact assessments more realistic, we suggest alternative ways of reporting impacts classified under EICAT and SEICAT.

“…None of them is known to cause ecological damage or to be a pest in the field. Zonitoides arboreus is reportedly a pest of potted ornamental plants, which it damages especially by feeding on the roots (Godan 1983;Hollingsworth and Armstrong 2003). In the same way, it may cause root rot of sugar cane (Rands 1924).…”

Distribution patterns of established alien land snail species in the Western Palaearctic Region

Established alien land snail species that were introduced into the Western Palaearctic Region from other regions and their spread in the Western Palaearctic are reviewed. Thirteen of the 22 species came from North America, three from Sub-Saharan Africa, two from the Australian region, three probably from the Oriental Region and one from South America. The establishment of outdoor populations of these species was usually first seen at the western or southern rims of the Western Palearctic. Within Europe, the alien species usually spread from south to north and from west to east. The latitudinal ranges of the alien species significantly increased with increasing time since the first record of introduction to the Western Palearctic. The latitudinal mid-points of the Western Palaearctic and native ranges of the species are significantly correlated when one outlier is omitted. There is a general trend of poleward shifts of the ranges of the species in the Western Palaearctic compared to their native ranges. There are three reasons for these shifts: (1) the northward expansion of some species in Western Europe facilitated by the oceanic climate, (2) the impediment to the colonisation of southern latitudes in the Western Palaearctic due to their aridity and (3) the establishment of tropical species in the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Most of the species are small, not carnivorous and unlikely to cause serious ecological or economic damage. In contrast, the recently introduced large veronicellid slugs from Sub-Saharan Africa and the giant African snail Lissachatina fulica could cause economic damage in irrigated agricultural areas or greenhouses in the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
