The eggs of the apple snail <i>Pomacea maculata</i> are defended by indigestible polysaccharides and toxic proteins
The freshwater snails Pomacea lay conspicuous aerial eggs clutches that are ignored by most predators. Egg biochemical defenses in the apple snail P. canaliculata (Lamarck, 1822) are provided by multifunctional proteins. We analyzed the eggs of a sympatric species, P. maculata Perry,1810, studying t...
