| Abstract | Invasive species pose increasingly daunting threats to biodiversity, agriculture, and more. Moreover, they serve as compelling natural laboratories for addressing fundamental questions such as how species adapt rapidly to new environments. Nearly 70 species of terrestrial snails and slugs have been introduced into the contiguous US, but they are critically understudied. This project focuses on two genera of invasive slugs that are widespread in North America—Arion and Deroceras. Although they ar |
