We accordingly conducted a seasonal sampling during 2018\u20132019 in order to characterize the gametic cycle and establish the size of this gastropod at gonadal maturity. Three reproductive stages were identified: the mature in autumn; the spawn, which begins in winter but occurs mainly in the spring, followed by the post-spawn in summer, where an absence of gonadal rest was evidenced. In the fall, in maturity resorption was observed in addition to abundant primary spermatocytes, secondary spermatocytes, and growing vitellogenic oocytes. At the same time, could correlate the degree of spermioviduct development with the stage of gonadal development. Moreover, we used a logistic regression to calculate the size at gonadal maturity, which was established at the total shell length of 12 mm. In addition, we found that at the beginning of reproductive development those gastropods are protogynous hermaphrodites, but after reaching gonadal maturity became simultaneous hermaphrodites. Finally, <jats:italic>B. bonariensis<\/jats:italic> also proved to be an iteroparous species. The information provided here will be essential for delineating and establishing population control strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7717\/peerj.15221","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,18]],"date-time":"2023-04-18T07:45:53Z","timestamp":1681803953000},"page":"e15221","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Gametic cycle and gonadal maturity of <i>Bulimulus bonariensis<\/i> (Rafinesque, 1833) (Gastropoda: Bulimulidae), in a rural area of Buenos Aires, Argentina"],"prefix":"10.7717","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Ana Carolina","family":"D\u00edaz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Divisi\u00f3n Zoolog\u00eda Invertebrados, Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stella Maris","family":"Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Divisi\u00f3n Zoolog\u00eda Invertebrados, Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina"},{"name":"CIC, La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alejandra","family":"Rumi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Divisi\u00f3n Zoolog\u00eda Invertebrados, Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina"},{"name":"CONICET, La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"4443","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.7717\/peerj.15221\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"89","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00605480","article-title":"Circannual and circadian rhythms in the snail Helix aspersa M\u00fcller and the photoperiodic control of annual activity and reproduction","volume":"142","author":"Bailey","year":"1981","journal-title":"Journal of Comparative Physiology"},{"key":"10.7717\/peerj.15221\/ref-2","first-page":"160","volume-title":"Spawning: biology, sexual strategies and ecological effects","author":"Baqueiro\u00a0C\u00e1rdenas","year":"2014"},{"key":"10.7717\/peerj.15221\/ref-3","article-title":"Desarrollo de un modelo de predici\u00f3n de actividad de la babosa Deroceras reticulatum (M\u00fcller, 1774) aplicable al control de plagas en zonas agr\u00edcolas de galicia","author":"Barrada\u00a0Beiras","year":"2003","journal-title":"Tesis de Doctorado"},{"issue":"3","key":"10.7717\/peerj.15221\/ref-4","first-page":"13","article-title":"Aspectos b\u00e1sicos sobre la clasificaci\u00f3n, recolecci\u00f3n, toma de datos y conservaci\u00f3n de los moluscos","volume":"51","author":"Barrientos","year":"2003","journal-title":"Revista de Biolog\u00eda Tropical"},{"key":"10.7717\/peerj.15221\/ref-5","first-page":"1","article-title":"Systematics, phylogeny and zoogeography of Bulimulinae (Mollusca)","volume":"168","author":"Breure","year":"1979","journal-title":"Zoologische Verhandelingen"},{"issue":"1","key":"10.7717\/peerj.15221\/ref-6","first-page":"19","article-title":"Maturation of the reproductive tract of Neohelix major (Binney) (Pulmonata: Polygyridae)","volume":"8","author":"Cuezzo","year":"1990","journal-title":"American Malacological Bulletin"},{"issue":"2","key":"10.7717\/peerj.15221\/ref-7","first-page":"121","article-title":"Annual gonadal cycle of the land snail Scutalus tupacii (Pulmonata: Bulimulidae)","volume":"10","author":"Cuezzo","year":"1993","journal-title":"American Malacological Bulletin"},{"issue":"1\u20132","key":"10.7717\/peerj.15221\/ref-8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"135","DOI":"10.4002\/040.056.0210","article-title":"Species catalogue of Orthalicoidea in Argentina (Gastropoda: Stylommatophora)","volume":"56","author":"Cuezzo","year":"2013","journal-title":"Malacologia"},{"key":"10.7717\/peerj.15221\/ref-9","first-page":"297","article-title":"Mollusca","volume-title":"Reproductive biology of invertebrates.
