Interactions between Anisus spirorbis (Planorbidae) and Galba truncatula (Lymnaeidae) in snail communities on sedimentary soils
, and
Field and laboratory investigations were conducted to study competition between the planorbid Anisusspirorbis and the lymnaeid Galba truncatula when these two species live in bispecific communities on sedimentary soils. In presence of adult G. truncatula, the survival of juvenile and pre-adult planorbids significantly diminished while the number of egg-masses laid by adult planorbids showed a significant decrease.
