“…Also, these families have a high adhesion ability to the rocky substrates. This finding in line with previous studies indicating that the rivers with strong current and a rocky bottom substrate become the habitat for most of the gastropods from Thiaridae and Neritidae families (Dharma 1988;Subba Rao 1989;Appleton 2003Appleton , 2015Abdou et al 2015;Harding et al 2019;Purnama et al 2019;Sirza et al 2020).…”

Abstract. Purnama MF, Sirza LOMJ, Sari SF, Salwiyah, Haslianti, Abdullah, Suwarjoyowirayatno, Findra MN, Nurhikma, Agriansyah A, Hidayat H, Syukur, Anwar K. 2022. Diversity report of freshwater gastropods in Buton Island, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 1938-1949. This study was located in Buton Island consisted of 5 administrative districts/cities (Baubau City, Buton District, South Buton District, Muna District and North Buton District) and was conducted for 1 year (August 2019-August 2020). The output is to reveal the potential richness of the biodiversity of freshwater gastropods as a first step to optimize the utilization of freshwater gastropod resources in the Buton Islands. Determination of sampling location for gastropods was carried out by purposive sampling method and the selection of gastropod samples using simple random sampling method at a predetermined location based on the presence of gastropods. Gastropod samples (epifauna/infauna) were collected manually without special fishing gear with gloves, paralone pipes (3.5 inches), and filter (1 mm). The gastropods found in Buton Island consist of 18 genera and 40 species. Freshwater gastropods spread over 8 families, namely Cyclophoridae, Planorbidae, Lymnaeidae and Thiaridae. Among the species, there are several invasive alien species (IAS) such as Tarebia granifera, Melanoides tuberculata and Achatina fulica. These three species always dominate the habitat space where they are found. Most gastropod communities in 5 districts/cities live in fast-flowing rivers with rock, gravel and sand substrates. Only a few of them are found in artificial inland waters such as rice fields, embankments, dams and drainage. This study became a first step to optimize the utilization of gastropod resources and sustainable management, especially related to the conservation of native species from the threat of IAS.

“…Despite this taxonomic uncertainty, the current study demonstrates the value of a phylogenetic analysis of molecular data to resolve the history of invasive species (however see [52]). The inclusion of 49 sequenced individuals from this study along with a geographically diverse sample of GenBank sequences, and the outgroup Paludomus siamensis, Paludomidae, the presumed sister lineage [7,16,24,30,48]. In contrast, shell morphology was not found to be a useful tool to evaluate invasion dynamics (Fig 3).…”

“…Other studies have found that invaded regions have a high degree of haplotype overlap with native regions and provide estimates of invasion events. For instance, Facon et al [24] showed at least six invasion events in South and Central America, while Harding et al [30] suggested multiple invasions have occurred in central Texas. These studies and our current results demonstrate that multiple invasions are common for freshwater snails and provide evidence that propagule pressure is a driving factor for these successful invasions [54,55].…”

“…As invasive populations of M. tuberculata are primarily females that reproduce via parthenogenesis, haplotypes are generally conserved [28] and relatively easy to match to putative source populations via barcoding with mitochondrial (cytochrome oxidase I, COI) and ribosomal markers (16s rDNA) [7,11,16,24,29,30]. Additionally, studies have shown that unique haplotypes are represented by unique, conserved shell morphs [7,24,30,31], providing a useful tool for resource managers to track invasions. For example, unique shell morphs linked to distinct haplotypes have been used to verify that invasive lineages in New World waterways and East African lakes correspond to Southeast Asian populations [7,24].…”

DNA barcoding indicates multiple invasions of the freshwater snail Melanoides tuberculata sensu lato in Florida

Melanoides tuberculata sensu lato (Thiaridae) are polymorphic female-clonal snails of Asian and African origins that have invaded freshwaters worldwide, including those in Florida. Although the snails have been documented in Florida for at least 70 years, no studies have investigated whether the observed distribution is due to a single introduction or multiple independent invasions. Here, cytochrome oxidase I was used to measure genetic diversity within and among sites in Florida and compare genetic diversity between Florida and other regions of the world. We also examined the relationship between shell morphology and haplotype diversity to determine if shell morphs can serve as a proxy for haplotypes. In total, we recovered 8 haplotypes randomly distributed across populations in Florida. Phylogenetic reconstruction supported the hypothesis of multiple invasions by diverse representatives of the M. tuberculata species complex. In contrast, shell morphology was not found to be a useful phylogeographic character, with divergent haplotypes represented by similar shell forms. These results suggest that the observed invasion patterns in Florida are best explained by serial introductions, and that shell morphology cannot be used to predict haplotypes or reconstruct invasion history of Melanoides tuberculata s.l. and that extensive taxonomic revisions are needed to investigate invasion dynamics.

Abstract. Purnama MF, Salwiyah. 2022. Short Communication: Invasive mollusks Melanoides tuberculata, and Achatina fulica in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 4770-4774. Southeast Sulawesi Province has natural/artificial inland waters for various usages. For example, freshwater has supported various activities such as agriculture, plantations, inland fisheries, and ecotourism. This study reports the presence of invasive mollusk in freshwater (Melanoides tuberculata) and terrestrial (Achatina fulica) habitats. This study is the first report regarding the spatial distribution of the three invasive mollusk species in the inland waters of Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. All administrative areas (17 districts/cities) in Southeast Sulawesi province were invaded by A. fulica and 16 districts/cities by M. tuberculata. These invasive mollusks species are a severe threat to the preservation of native species and human health because they are an intermediate host for several types of parasites, such as the trematode group. The spreading and rapid development of these invasive mollusks is caused by their reproductive ability and resistance to poor environmental quality and airborne dispersal factors by birds, water flow, and commercial activities. This invasive species can directly cause huge economic losses as they become a pest in agricultural activities, plantations, and freshwater fisheries (aquaculture). They also can transmit pathogens and displacement of native species. Therefore, it is recommended to have a preventive effort to tackle the expansion of IAS in Southeast Sulawesi.
