[edit]May be worth removing "Prior to applying 1080, there were 54 snails found on a 500 sq grid. One year after the 1080 drop, 147 snails were found on the same plot" unless citation is added. Can't seem to find any source for the numbers and, whilst I don't doubt it, verifiable citations regarding population numbers and efficacy of 1080 is of relative importance in NZ ecological study. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-44270-4 (talk) 05:17, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

[edit]I do not see a reference for 'shatters explosively into fairly small pieces' nor can I find any reference to this on the internet aside from quotes from this article. Abakan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abakan (talk • contribs) 03:45, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
Edits and questions
[edit]I'm a museum curator, and have seen Powelliphanta shells that have cracked (but not shattered into small pieces) from drying out. I'll look for a reference. Have started editing and adding better refs for this article, and may have some more images to add. Removed the name Amber snail, as have never heard that in my life and could only find references on the Web that have obviously come from this Wikipedia article. Perhaps it's an archaic name.
