Thirty years of slug control using the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita and beyond
Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 10, Page 3408-3424, October 2023., 2023 The nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a parasite of slugs and snails and has been formulated into a biological control agent for use across northern Europe since 1994. Here, we review all research on P. hermaphrodita that has been carried out over the last 30 years and suggest future priorities.

Target‐capture probes for phylogenomics of the Caenogastropoda
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1372-1388, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Target‐capture approaches have facilitated a rapid growth in the field of phylogenomics but few probe sets exist for molluscs, an exceptionally rich phylum with unparalleled ecological and morphological diversity. We designed and tested the first universal probe set using Phyluce to capture ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and exon loci from the

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Malacological and parasitological studies were conducted from April 2020 to March 2021 to determine the abundance and distribution of molluscs and cercariae of Schistosoma spp and Fasciola gigantica. Collected molluscs are exposed to strong light to induce cercarial release. Mollusc densities were higher at station 1 (Gamak) than in station 8 (Patakai),

Development of a flow‐sensitive macroinvertebrate index for Australian rivers
River Research and Applications, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 846-862, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Hydrologically sensitive macroinvertebrate indices have been developed in Europe, the Americas and New Zealand to serve many purposes such as monitoring ecological responses to drought, flow regulation, water extraction and the provision of environmental flows.

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 Abstract Exotic species invasions have profound effects on native ecosystems, with the ecological effects of non‐native plants being especially pervasive. We investigated the impacts of a plant invasion on benthic invertebrate assemblages in intertidal wetlands of the Yellow River Delta, comparing benthic communities associated with exotic Spartina ...

River Research and Applications, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 675-680, May 2021., 2021 Abstract Artificial channels are common features in lowland agricultural catchments, and are a potentially significant habitat for aquatic species. Recent studies have suggested communities in managed rivers and artificial channels are broadly similar, but with some compositional differences.

The Serbian Lake System: a stepping stone for freshwater molluscs in the middle Miocene
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 6, Issue 4, Page 533-569, November 2020., 2020 Abstract The first in‐depth revision of a lacustrine freshwater mollusc fauna of the Serbian Lake System (SLS) is carried out. We describe and discuss well‐preserved faunas from two localities in central and southern Serbia (Mađere and Medoševac), along with the reinvestigation of type material of several species described in the late nineteenth and ...

NUTRITIONAL BUDGET FOR THE FRESHWATER SNAIL BITHYNIA GRAECA (GASTROPODA: BITHYNIIDAE) [PDF]
Journal of Molluscan Studies, 1996 The nutritional budget of Buhynia graeca (Westerlund) was studied using samples of a snail population of Lake Kerkini (N Greece). A laboratory investigation of food consumption and assimilation in B. graeca was undertaken using Aufwuchs as food. On the basis of this investigation estimates of natural consumption and assimilation efficiencies were made.
