Competitive interactions between species of freshwater snails. I. Laboratory studies: Ib. Comparative studies of the dispersal and the vagility capabilities of Biomphalaria glabrata and Biomphalaria straminea

Experiments reported in the current paper, carried out under semi-field conditions created in the laboratory, have shown that b. straminea has competitive superiority when compared with B. glabrata. The former species has shown higher capabilities of both dispersal and vagility. In addition, B. straminea was able to compete sucessfully with B. glabrata.
