Invasive slugs as under-appreciated obstacles to rare plant restoration: evidence from the Hawaiian Islands (2008, background): “Although recent research attracts attention to the widespread replacement of endemic terrestrial mollusk faunas on Pacific Islands with a relatively small number of introduced snails and slugs (Cowie 2002), little research has addressed the impacts of these changes on natural plant communities or en”
Alien Non-Marine Snails and Slugs of Priority Quarantine Importance in the United States: A Preliminary Risk Assessment (2009, background): “While it is widely distributed in the United States (Roth and Sadeghian 2003), it is only a major agricultural pest, notably of citrus, in California (e.g., Sakovich 2002).”
The history of an invasion: phases of the explosive spread of the physid snail Physella acuta through Europe, Transcaucasia and Central Asia (2017, unknown): “From a biogeographical point of view, molluscan invasions lead to the homogenization of faunas, extirpation of vulnerable endemic species and alteration of the biotic composition of invaded ecosystems (Cowie 2001; Strayer 2010).”
Now you See them, Now you don't! – Population Crashes of Established Introduced Species (2004, background): “But the rosy wolf snail is now considered one of the worst invasive pests in the world (Stein and Flack 1996; ISSG 2001), and it has caused at least 30 global species extinctions of endemic island snails (Civeyrel and Simberloff 1996; Cowie 2001).”
The rat and the octopus: initial human colonization and the prehistoric introduction of domestic animals to Remote Oceania (2009, background): “There are also few data concerning the extent to which undomesticated animals, such as landsnails (Cowie 2001), and lizards (Allison 1996), were introduced during colonisation, although many were widespread by the nineteenth century.”
Introduced species policy, management, and future research needs (2005, background): “For example, many endemic land snails were eliminated from Pacific islands by the predatory rosy wolf snail (Euglandina rosea), introduced in a failed attempt to control the giant African snail, Achatina fulica (Cowie 2002).”
Changing perspectives on the biogeography of the tropical South Pacific: influences of dispersal, vicariance and extinction (2009, background): “wave of pre-historic introductions, additional species, such as the mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) in Fiji (Morley, 2004) and the giant African snail (Achatina fulica) and fire ants (Wasmannia auropunctata) in Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands (Cowie, 2001; Wetterer & Porter, 2003), were accidentally,”
The horticultural industry as a vector of alien snails and slugs: widespread invasions in Hawaii (2008, background): “One is a Pacific island species, four are African, two European, four North American (but see Hawaiia minuscula; Table 1), one is holarctic, nine are Asian and/or Australasian, seven are South and/or Central American or Caribbean, and the natural range of one is unknown because its specific identity”
