Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientifically named as Marisa cornuarietis, the Colombian Ramshorn Apple Snail is a distinctive and compelling freshwater gastropod that has grown in favor among aquarium enthusiasts as an interesting and somewhat low-maintenance pet. We'll explore several facets of Colombian Ramshorn Apple Snails in this extensive introduction, offering insightful information to anyone thinking about getting one as a pet. Origin and Taxonomy These snails are native to South America, mainly Colombia, and can now be found in ponds, lakes, and tranquil rivers, among other aquatic habitats. According to taxonomy, they belong to the Ampullariidae family and share a close kinship with other well-known aquarium snails, such as Mystery Snails and Giant Apple Snails. Physical attributes Colombian Ramshorn Apple Snails are named for its unusual appearance, which includes a spiral-shaped, coiled shell that mimics a ram's horn. Their shells, which might be light brown, dark red, or even have striped patterns, give aquariums a more attractive appearance. The snail's body has two prominent antennae and a powerful foot for locomotion. Dimensions and Duration Regarded as medium-sized in the aquarium hobby, these snails typically reach sizes of 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter. Long-term partners for committed enthusiasts, they can live for several years under ideal circumstances. Tank Configuration and Habitat Establishing an appropriate environment is essential to the health of Colombian Ramshorn Apple Snails. It is advised to have a large aquarium, at least 10 gallons in size, to allow for adequate exploration and movement. You can choose from a variety of substrates, such as sand or gravel, and you can add enrichment and hiding places with plants and decorations. Water Characteristics Keeping the water at the right temperature is essential to these snails' wellbeing. They do best in water that is between 7.0 and 8.0 pH, which is somewhat alkaline. Maintaining a temperature between 72 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit is recommended. To stop variations and preserve water quality, regular testing and adjustments are necessary. Nutrition and Consumption Being omnivores, Colombian Ramshorn Apple Snails have a huge appetite for both plant material and debris. Premium pellets, blanched veggies (lettuce, zucchini, etc.), and occasionally protein-rich treats (bloodworms) are all part of a well-balanced diet. Providing a varied diet enhances their general well-being and vitality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is based on the WORLD REGISTER OF MARINE SPECIES (WORMS), which is an international platform of science. This includes the currently valid scientific names and systematics of our recent marine animals. This book presents more than 600 different species of marine and freshwater molluscs. It also includes some species of sea urchins, starfish and arthropods, bringing the total number of diverse species to more than 780. The work places the species in the context of their habitats, their survival and reproduction strategies, and their aquaristic durability, if live specimens can be obtained. This book presents both: The live animals for the vivarists and their empty shells for the collectors. Many of the species shown here are not common, unusual or even rare. In addition, some photos of original habitats and aquarium photographs round off the work. In passing, the book also comments on some current environmental problems, which are unfortunately usually not mentioned in conventional works on this subject. A very informative book, which should inspire reflection and action at the same time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current efforts to limit the ravages of schistosomiasis are pushing the world closer to eliminating a chronic infection that has been associated with human life in the tropics since time immemorial. This notwithstanding, the disease remains a scourge for large populations in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, and the main part of this book is made up by papers dealing with its current distribution, discussing ways and means to establish and implement improved control approaches. While chemotherapy limits the symptoms caused by schistosomiasis, the number of infected people will not decrease until the parasite's life cycle is interrupted. To that end, some papers focus on the intermediate snail host, which is notoriously difficult to control, while others discuss human hygiene and sanitation. The latter approach not only prevents infection through avoiding people being infected from the snail, but more importantly, also stops people infecting the snail by leaving contagious feces and urine in nature. With morbidity reduced by chemotherapy, the immediate target now is the interruption of transmission to be achieved by new tools, such as the novel chemotherapies, improved diagnostics (for humans, animals, and snails), and vaccines discussed in several of the papers. As made clear in this book, a complex infection requires new tools as well as work on many fronts, above all; however, a clear idea is needed as to how to skillfully combine the tools available and sustain implemented control activities.

Book excerpt: Mollusks have been important to humans since our earliest days. Initially, when humans were primarily interested in what they could eat or use, mollusks were important as food, ornaments, and materials for tools. Over the centuries, as human knowledge branched out and individuals started to study the world around them, mollusks were important subjects for learning how things worked. In this volume, the editors and contributors have brought together a broad range of topics within the field of malacology. It is our expectation that these topics will be of interest and use to amateur and professional malacologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invasive non-native species are a major threat to global biodiversity. Often introduced accidentally through international travel or trade, they invade and colonize new habitats, often with devastating consequences for the local flora and fauna. Their environmental impacts can range from damage to resource production (e.g. agriculture and forestry) and infrastructure (e.g. buildings, road and water supply), to human health. They consequently can have major economic impacts. It is a priority to prevent their introduction and spread, as well as to control them. Freshwater ecosystems are particularly at risk from invasions and are landscape corridors that facilitate the spread of invasives. This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the most notable global invasive freshwater species or groups, based on their severity of economic impact, geographic distribution outside of their native range, extent of research, and recognition of the ecological severity of the impact of the species by the IUCN. As well as some of the very well-known species, the book also covers some invasives that are emerging as serious threats. Examples covered include a range of aquatic and riparian plants, insects, molluscs, crustacea, fish, amphibians, reptiles and mammals, as well as some major pathogens of aquatic organisms. The book also includes overview chapters synthesizing the ecological impact of invasive species in fresh water and summarizing practical implications for the management of rivers and other freshwater habitats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing human populations and higher demands for water impose increasing impacts and stresses upon freshwater biodiversity. Their combined effects have made these animals more endangered than their terrestrial and marine counterparts. Overuse and contamination of water, overexploitation and overfishing, introduction of alien species, and alteration of natural flow regimes have led to a 'great thinning' and declines in abundance of freshwater animals, a 'great shrinking' in body size with reductions in large species, and a 'great mixing' whereby the spread of introduced species has tended to homogenize previously dissimilar communities in different parts of the world. Climate change and warming temperatures will alter global water availability, and exacerbate the other threat factors. What conservation action is needed to halt or reverse these trends, and preserve freshwater biodiversity in a rapidly changing world? This book offers the tools and approaches that can be deployed to help conserve freshwater biodiversity.
