Molluscs tend to be the Cinderella of biocontrol research, despite the fact that they cause enormous amounts of
economic, medical and veterinary damage to human societies.
This symposium addressed issues of classification, economics, physiology, behaviour and integrated
pest management with particular attention paid to applied aspects. The importance of the evolutionary
context and the value of biochemistry and molecular biology in the service of control are also considered.
