“…Several terrestrial slug species have huge spreading potential and able to establish populations outside of their native range (Wiktor 2000, Kozlowski 2012, Rowson et al 2014, Zając et al 2017. Some of them are considered serious crop and horticultural pests (Douglas & Tooker 2012).…”

Two slug species (Krynickillus melanocephalus Kaleniczenko, 1851 and Tandonia kusceri (H. Wagner, 1931)) are reported from Hungary for the first time. Identification was supported by anatomical examination in both, and molecular data in the latter species. A citizen science survey applying a Realtime Social Networking Service (RSNS) method using Facebook posts revealed that both species are already widespread in Hungary, i.e. Krynickillus melanocephalus is reported from 14 and Tandonia kusceri from 25 sites. So far, we received no reports on any damage caused by these two slug species. Nevertheless, we treat them as potential horticultural pests requiring further attention.

“…Spānijas kailgliemezim, kā jau daudzām invazīvām sugām raksturīga lielāka auglība, ātrāka attīstība, labāka ekoloģiskā tolerance, izturība pret sausumu, maz dabisko ienaidnieku, paaugstinātas izplatīšanās spējas, lielāka izdzīvotība paaugstinātās temperatūrās, uzvedības plastiskums un lielāks fenotispiskais plastiskums salīdzinājumā ar vietējām un neinvazīvajām sugām (Zając et al 2017). Arion vulgaris ir lielāka pārvietošanās aktivitāte -tie biežāk pamet sev zināmās vietas un dodas meklēt jaunas, kas izskaidro to sekmīgo invāziju.…”

The potential antifeedant activity of lichen-forming fungal extracts against the invasive Spanish slug (Arion vulgaris)

The protection of horticultural crops from slug feeding can be achieved using slug pellets; however, application of molluscicides is not always safe for the environment. There is a need for alternative methods to reduce the palatability of crop plants. Chemical properties of secondary compounds from lichens influence the feeding behaviour of slugs. Liquid extracts of three lichen species (Cladonia rangiferina (L.) F.H. Wigg., Cladonia stellaris (Opiz) Pouzar & Vězda, and Pseudevernia furfuracea (L.) Zopf) were applied to three different crops and tested for their antifeedant properties against an important agricultural pest, the Spanish slug (Arion vulgaris Moquin-Tandon, 1855). All three extracts had specific activity, showing a decrease in grazing intensity as well as slug mass loss after feeding on treated food. Slugs significantly gained mass after feeding under control condition; however, they did not gain mass when fed on extract-treated food. The most effective extract was from P. furfuracea. We propose to use properties of lichen extracts to develop new environmentally friendly molluscicides.

“…Due to the morphological similarities and confusing taxonomy of older studies, the name A. lusitanicus often refers to the so called pest slug A. vulgaris commonly occurring in Europe. Currently, A. vulgaris is considered to be common in many European countries, from south to north, and up to now has been reported from France (in 1855), Great Britain (1952), Germany (1970), Slovenia (1970), Italy (1971), Switzerland (1971), Austria (1972), Sweden (1975), Bulgaria (1983), Austria (1984), Norway (1988), Belgium (1989), the Netherlands (1989), Finland (1990), Denmark (1991), Poland (1993), Iceland (2003-2004, Greenland, Latvia, Lithuania, Faroe Islands and Romania (Weidema 2006;Zając et al 2017).…”

“…vulgaris is regarded as an invasive species in most studies, whereas another two species of terrestrial slugs, which have similar external appearance-A. ater (L., 1758) and A. rufus (L., 1758)-are considered as native to North-Western Europe (Welter-Schultes 2012; Hatteland et al 2015;Zając et al 2017). These three species may co-exist in natural habitats and their differentiation is possible on the basis of molecular analyses, mating behaviour or genital morphology (Noble 1992;Quinteiro et al 2005; Barr et al 2009;Kałuski et al 2011;Slotsbo et al 2012;Hatteland et al 2015).…”

Arion vulgaris Moquin-Tandon, 1855 is regarded as one of the 100 most invasive species in Europe. The native distribution range of this species is uncertain, but for many years, the Iberian Peninsula has been considered as the area of origin. However, recent studies indicate that A. vulgaris probably originated from France. We have investigated the genetic structure of 33 European populations (Poland, Norway, Germany, France, Denmark, Switzerland) of this slug, based on two molecular markers, mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI, mtDNA) and nuclear zinc finger (ZF, nDNA). Our investigation included published data from two previous studies, giving a total of 95 populations of A. vulgaris from 26 countries. This comprehensive dataset shows comparable haplotype diversity in Central, North and Western Europe, and significantly lower haplotype diversity in the East. All haplotypes observed in the East can be found in the other regions, and haplotype diversity is highest in the Central and Western region. Moreover, there is strong isolation by distance in Central and Western Europe, and only very little in the East. Furthermore, the number of unique haplotypes was highest in France. This pattern strongly suggests that A. vulgaris has originated from a region spanning from France to Western Germany; hence, the slug is probably alien/invasive in other parts of Europe, where it occurs. Our results indicate the necessity to cover as much of the distribution range of a species as possible before making conclusive assumptions about its origin and alien status.
