Winning the biodiversity arms race among freshwater gastropods: competition and coexistence through shell variability and predator avoidance (2010, background): “Pomacea canaliculata can consume native snails and may have large impacts on biodiversity in some habitats (Kwong et al., 2009).”
Secondary production and diet of an invasive snail in freshwater wetlands: implications for resource utilization and competition (2010, background): “There have been reports of predation by this apple snail on freshwater bryozoans (Wood et al. 2006), adults and egg capsules of several species of pulmonates (Cazzaniga 1990; Kwong et al. 2009), as well as juveniles of M. tuberculata and the viviparid Sinotaia quadrata (Kwong et al. 2009).”
Insights from an Integrated View of the Biology of Apple Snails (Caenogastropoda: Ampullariidae) (2015, background): “Consumption rates vary widely among and within species (Cedeño-León & Thomas, 1983; Cazzaniga, 1990; Aditya & Raut, 2002; Anto et al., 2005; Kwong et al., 2009).”
