The San Antonio River Authority is installing plastic barriers to try to stop invasive apple snails from laying their piles ...

Scientists are studying a type of snail that can grow its eyes back in the hope of helping humans with eye injuries. The complex structure of humans eyes has been found to be similar to those of the ...

The eye of the apple snail is unusually similar to a human eye-but, unlike human eyes, it can regrow itself if injured or even amputated. New research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research ...

The golden apple snail has camera-type eyes that are fundamentally similar to the human eye. Unlike humans, the snail can regenerate a missing or damaged eye. UC Davis biologist Alice Accorsi is ...

From the hot pink apple snail eggs that cling to cypress trees to trampled sugarcane crops, signs of invasive species are ...

Many groups in the animal kingdom have the remarkable ability to regenerate their eyes, but mammals are not one of them—at least, not yet. A new study analyzed the genetic mechanisms behind the ocular ...

New research led by CABI and including the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS) reveals that the invasive Apple Snail – which threatens rice crops – could spread further in Africa. A team ...

The ability to regenerate lost body parts has long captured human fascination. Many creatures out in nature can perform feats of repair that far surpass our own abilities. For example, salamanders can ...

Slimy invaders called apple snails vex the San Antonio River ecosystem so badly that a team of River Warriors rose up to fight them. And apparently, that's a mission that content creators are here for ...

If you live in Florida and spot "pink blobs," make sure to keep your distance. They could be egg casings for exotic apple snails, an invasive and dangerous species that has spread quickly in the state ...

In a new study published Aug. 6 in Nature Communications, Accorsi shows that apple snail and human eyes share many anatomical and genetic features. “Apple snails are an extraordinary organism,” said ...
