Resumen:
The Neotropical apple snails that lay subaquatic, gelatinousegg masses (species of Asolene, Felipponea and Marisa) havereceived less scientific interest than those apple snails that laymasses of calcareous shelled eggs above the waterline (genusPomacea). Basic and applied research has concentrated so faron two species of Pomacea that have become important pestsof aquatic crops (mainly rice) as well as drivers ofecosystemic changes in invaded wetlands (Horgan et al.,2014; Hayes et al., 2015). Up to now, conservation orientedresearch and conservation efforts have been aimed only at theFlorida apple snail, Pomacea paludosa, which is the staplefood of an endangered raptor, the snail kite (Martín et al., 2015).
