Cerithideopsis californica, common name the California hornsnail [2] or the California horn snail, [3] is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Potamididae. [4] This series was previously known as Cerithidea californica .
This small cone snail is unusual, in that most cone snail species are tropical, whereas this species lives in the cooler, temperate waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean, including most of the coast of California. [3] The range of this species is from the Farallon Islands near San Francisco to Bahia Magdalena, in Baja California, Mexico.
Euhaplorchis californiensis is a trophically transmitted parasite (TTP) that lives in the salt-water marshes of Southern California, United States. It lives in three hosts: shorebirds, horn snails, and killifish. As with many TTPs, E. californiensis modifies the behavior of the host to increase the likelihood of transmission to its next host.
The California Fish and Game Commission has finalized a regulation prohibiting the larger Department of Fish and Wildlife from using certain toxic insecticides on lands under its jurisdiction.
Its intermediate hosts are land snails, usually of the genus Succinea. The pulsating, green broodsacs fill the eye stalks of the snail, thereby attracting predation by birds, the primary host. These broodsacs visually imitate caterpillars, a prey of birds. [2] The adult parasite lives in the bird's cloaca, releasing its eggs into the faeces.
Californiconus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks.The experts at WoRMS place this group of species in the family Conidae, the cone snails, but some other experts placed previously the genus in a proposed family, the Conilithidae. [1]
Invasive species in California, the introduced species of fauna−animals and flora−plants that are established and have naturalized within California. Native plants and animals can become threatened endangered species from the spread of invasive species in natural habitats and/or developed areas (e.g. agriculture, transport, settlement).
