Invasion of the Martinique island by the parthenogenetic snail Melanoides tuberculata and the succession of morphs

Abstract:

In Martinique the freshwater snail Melanoides tuberculata was discovered for the first time in 1979. Rapid colonization of the whole island was documented. Three distinct morphs were recognized by conchological characteristics. The change of the snail densities and the frequency of these three morphs showed the decline of one morph following the introduction of the two others. -from Authors
