Resumen
This database comprises occurrence data, including both specimen and observation data, obtained from the whole distribution range (native and invaded) for the freshwater snail Pomacea canaliculata (Caenogastropoda: Ampullariidae). This species is native from lower Del Plata basin in South America but, together with other congeners collectively known as "apple snails", were introduced to many regions outside their natural ranges where they rapidly spread out, causing serious damage to aquatic crops and also to biodiversity and functioning of natural wetlands. The aim of this data publication is to provide an open access, updated and accurate database of P. canaliculata records worldwide, available for use in ecological studies and pest management, focusing on discriminate misidentifications with other apple snails. This database includes 718 records of P. canaliculata from 29 countries distributed in Africa, South America, North America, Asia and Pacific Islands, and were reported from the early 20th century until present day. The records reported here were compiled from different sources: - Our personal records which include samples collected during the past 25 years covering a large area of many provinces in Argentina. - Available bibliography, searching for any reliable report mentioning geographic coordinates or at least a precise locality, excluding those with doubtful identity or not determined records such as “Pomacea” or “Pomacea sp.”. - By request to several researchers with expertise in this species around the world to provide us records and also their expert opinion to discard records corresponding to other congeners (especially the often-confounded P. maculata).
Métodos
Study extent Data comprises a survey of all available records worldwide of the invasive freshwater southamerican apple snail Pomacea canaliculata. Sampling Records were obtained from field samplings, scientific literature, museum collections and catalogs, and by the request to colleagues with expertise in this species. Quality control An R script was used to complete the “stateProvince” fields (Grattarola, 2024). We improved the quality of the final dataset using Data Validator developed by GBIF (2024) to identify and address potential issues. All geographic coordinates were checked to detect georeferenced errors and incorrect locations, ensuring that each point corresponded to a location on the continent and in the correct country. Method steps Many of the records reported for Argentina, especially those from the last 25 years, are personal records obtained in field collection trips. These records are based on an extensive survey performed from 1999 to 2019, comprising most of central and northern Argentinian provinces (Salta, Jujuy, Tucumán, La Rioja, Mendoza, San Juan, San Luis, La Pampa, Córdoba, Santiago del Estero, Buenos Aires, Neuquén, Río Negro, Santa Fe, Entre Ríos, Corrientes, Misiones); southernmost provinces were not included since Pomacea canaliculata is not able to survive to the low winter temperatures experienced there. Other records were obtained from the reports made in the paper by Hylton Scott (1958), that was the first exhaustive study on the taxonomy and distribution of Argentinian ampullariids, in which Hylton Scott revised all the specimens referred to Ampullaria canaliculata Lamarck, 1822 (sic) belonging to the malacological collection of the Argentine Museum of Natural Sciences (MACN Bernardino Rivadavia, Buenos Aires) and reported the corresponding localities, all of them dated to the first half of 20th century. All these information were compared to the catalog of Ampullariidae provided by Alejandro Tablado from MACN. A different source of records was the available scientific literature where Pomacea canaliculata was mentioned. We searched for any reliable report mentioning geographic coordinates or at least a precise locality, excluding those with doubtful identity or not determined records such as “Pomacea” or “Pomacea sp.”. The records referring to localities that were impossible to accurately locate were not considered. All the locations were georeferenced with the GEOLocate tool and checked visually on the map. Finally, many records were provided by researchers from different countries around the world, that have a vast expertise in this species (R. Cowie from USA, F. Horgan from Ecuador, T.H. Ng from Singapore, J.C.H. Ip and J.W. Qiu from China, and Y. Yusa from Japan). They sent us many georreferenced locations and also provide us their expert opinion to discard records corresponding to other congeners (especially the often confounded P. maculata).
