• Predatory Potential of Freshwater Animals on an Invasive Agricultural Pest, the Apple Snail Pomacea canaliculata (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae), in Southern Japan (2006, background): “In addition, they are omnivorous, eating various plants (Lach et al. 2000) as well as some animal material such as dead fishes (Cowie 2002).”
• The Potential of the Invasive Snail Pomacea canaliculata as a Predator of Various Life-Stages of Five Species of Freshwater Snails (2009, background): “For example, Estebenet (1995) and Lach et al. (2000) conducted laboratory experiments to study the feeding of P. canaliculata on some common aquatic macrophytes in Argentina and Hawaii, respectively.”
• Feeding and growth of native, invasive and non-invasive alien apple snails (Ampullariidae) in the United States: Invasives eat more and grow more (2011, background): “Food preferences in P. canaliculata and P. insularum have been assessed previously (Estebenet 1995; Lach et al. 2000; Carlsson et al. 2004; Carlsson and Lacoursière 2005; Gettys et al. 2008; Boland et al. 2008; Burlakova et al. 2009, Baker et al. 2010).”
• Herbivory on aquatic vascular plants by the introduced golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) in Lao PDR (2005, background): “Surprisingly, water hyacinth is readily consumed and supports rapid snail growth in our study even though Lach et al. (2000) found that growth of neonate P. canaliculata snails fed on water hyacinth did not differ from growth of unfed snails.”
• Insights from an Integrated View of the Biology of Apple Snails (Caenogastropoda: Ampullariidae) (2015, background): “These include the Neotropical Pomacea canaliculata, P. maculata, P. scalaris, Marisa cornuarietis, Asolene pulchella and A. spixii (d’Orbigny, 1838) (Castro-Vazquez et al., 2002; Vega et al., 2006; Takebayashi, 2013) and the Asian Pila virens (Meenakshi, 1955; Devi et al., 1981) and Pila scutata (Mo”
• Wetland Restoration and Invasive Species: Apple snail (Pomacea insularum) Feeding on Native and Invasive Aquatic Plants (2009, background): “Pomacea canaliculata has been demonstrated to consume a variety of aquatic plants in both laboratory and field experiments (Adalla & Morallo-Rejesus 1989; Mochida 1991; Halwart 1994; Estebenet 1995; Lach et al. 2000; Carlsson et al. 2004; Carlsson & Lacoursière 2005).”

(2001, background): “…a generality, the features that characterize successful introduced species, and especially those that become invasive, probably include the readiness with which they are accidentally transported, rapid reproduction and high fecundity, and generalist food and habitat requirements (Lach et al. 2000).”
