Freshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2089-2099, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Freshwater molluscs are hosts for diverse metazoan symbionts. However, apart from the digenean helminths, symbionts of molluscs are underreported worldwide. Therefore, this study focused on the diversity of oligochaetes, leeches, mites, insect larvae and nematodes associated with gastropods and bivalves from Lake Victoria, East Africa. Overall,

Freshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 8, Page 1411-1427, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Tropical freshwater invertebrate species are becoming extinct without being described, and effective conservation is hampered by a lack of taxonomic and distribution data. DNA metabarcoding is a promising tool for rapid biodiversity assessments that has never been applied to tropical freshwater invertebrates across large spatial and taxonomic ...

Farming practice affects rice field animal biota during cultivation but not fallow periods in Taiwan
Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Rice is one of the most important staple foods in the world, with irrigated rice paddies largely converted from natural wetlands. The effectiveness of rice fields in preserving species depends partially on management practices, including the usage of pesticides. Previous studies have focused predominantly on the cultivation period, leaving the

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 97-111, January 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Effective control of invasive species and conservation of native biodiversity requires accurate species identification. Several species of apple snails (Ampullariidae: Pomacea) from South America have become widespread pests in Asia since their introduction in the early 1980s, but their taxonomic uncertainty has hindered our understanding ...

Sex-related differential growth in Pomacea canaliculata (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae) [PDF]
Journal of Molluscan Studies, 1998 In dioecious freshwater prosobranchs it is almost a commonplace that females reach larger sizes than males. Such a condition was mentioned, for example, for members of the families Viviparidae-, Bithyniidae, Pleuroceridae-, Hydrobiidae (unpublished own data) and Ampullariidae''.

Going with the flow? Diversification of gastropods reflects drainage evolution in Africa
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 48, Issue 7, Page 1579-1593, July 2021., 2021 Abstract Aim The roles of geodynamics, climatic variability and landscape evolution in shaping aquatic biodiversity patterns on the African continent remain poorly understood. We studied the geographical origin and phylogenetic relationships of an Afrotropical freshwater snail genus to examine the role of drainage evolution on diversification and range

A new species of Pila (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae) from Mizoram, India
Molluscan Research, 2021 Family Ampullariidae consists of 11 genera of freshwater snails distributed pan-tropically in the Old and the New World. One of the ampullarid genera, Pila, is distributed in Africa and Asia and consists of 28 species. Here we describe the sixth member of the genus Pila from India. Pila mizoramensis n. sp.

A Bibliometric Analysis of Research on Apple Snails (Ampullariidae)
Agronomy, 2023 Apple snails (ASs), the freshwater snails of the family Ampullariidae, are widely spread in tropical and subtropical regions. Owing to their strong invasiveness and harmful effects on agricultural production and ecosystems, they have attracted considerable attention. However, less research has been conducted on the whole picture of the current research

Survivorship of geographic Pomacea canaliculata populations in responses to cold acclimation
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 8, Page 3715-3726, April 2020., 2020 Survival of Pomacea canaliculata depends on their shell height and the level of low temperature. P. canaliculata population from the mid‐subtropical zone exhibit the highest viability over the cold thermal range. Abstract Pomacea canaliculata, a freshwater snail from South America, has rapidly established natural populations from south to north ...

On Pomacea sordida (Swainson, 1823) (Prosobranchia, Ampullariidae) [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1989 A description of Pomacea sordida (Swainson, 1823) collected in Caxias and Nova Iguaçu, state of Rio de Janeiro, is presented. The shell is globose, heavy, whith greenish or horn-colored periostracum and dark spinal bands; apex subelevated, 4-5 moderately shoudered whorls, increasing rather rapidly and separated by deep suture.
