Behind invasive species.
This photo taken in Lianjiang, China shows the pink eggs of Pomacea canaliculata (apple snail) sticking to a stock and Pistia stratiotes (water lettuce) floating on the water surface in a pond. The two invasive species have replaced native species and become the dominants in the ecosystem. Furthermore, P. canaliculata has become the primary source of infection of Angiostrongylus cantonensis in China (see Lv et al., doi:10.1371/journal.pntd.0000368).
