AB - The hermaphrodite aquatic snail Biomphalaria glabrata (Say) facultatively self-fertilizes. As an inter-mediate-host for the human parasitic helminth Schistosoma , it represents an important experimental model. Experiments were undertaken to investigate whether factors other than copulation might have implications for the fertilization process and subsequent fecundity. There were five experiments: (i) without pairing; (ii) pairing for 24 h; (iii) pairing for a single act of copulation only; (iv) pairing with a surgically castrated male acting partner for 24 h; (v) snail pairs kept in the same water for 10 days, but without physical contact. Data on numbers of egg-masses, eggs, developed eggs, and hatchability were analysed by t and chi-squared tests. The results suggest that fecundity can be influenced by currently unidentified aspects of behaviour that might include chemical or other cues. © The Malacological Society of London 2002 « Previous | Next Article » Table of Contents This Article J.
