Active ingestion of snail shell and chicken eggshell alters calcium metabolism and transcriptional regulation in the mantle of invasive Pomacea canaliculata.
The invasive freshwater gastropod Pomacea canaliculata relies heavily on calcium for shell biomineralization and environmental adaptation. Previous studies on its biomineralization mainly focused on shell protein composition and chemically synthesized calcium supplements. Whether it actively utilizes snail shells and c...
