Invertebrate Invasions on Pacific Islands and the Replacement of Unique Native Faunas: A Synthesis of the Land and Freshwater Snails*Contribution no. 2001-001 of Bishop Museum's Pacific Biological Survey. (2001, background): “In many disturbed areas, for instance in Hawaii (e.g., Cowie et al. 1999), only alien species are present and these include large species, such as A. fulica and veronicellid slugs.”
Rapid spread of an invasive snail in South America: the giant African snail, Achatina fulica, in Brasil (2007, background): “Reasons for the widespread introduction of A. fulica are numerous (Cowie and Robinson 2003).”
Global diversity of gastropods (Gastropoda; Mollusca) in freshwater (2007, background): “Although inadvertent introductions are far more common, deliberate introductions have been the most successful and typically the most harmful to native faunas, as a concerted effort is made to ensure their success (Cowie & Robinson, 2003).”
