Refining the biogeographical scenario of the land snail Cornu aspersum aspersum: Natural spatial expansion and human-mediated dispersal in the Mediterranean basin [PDF]

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2018
The land snail Cornu aspersum aspersum, native to the Mediterranean region, has been the subject of several anatomical and molecular studies leading to recognize two divergent lineages, named "East" and "West" according to their geographical distribution in North Africa.

The effects of loose, firm, fine, and coarse substrates on the movement of the red flour beetle

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 662-674, April 2025.
The study focused on the impact of substrate roughness on movement properties, utilizing the red flour beetle as a model organism. Findings revealed significant variations in movement behavior between rough and smooth substrates, with beetles traveling longer distances on smooth surfaces compared to sandpaper and loose sand.

Population monitoring and conservation implications of intra‐ and interspecific nest occupation rates in swallows

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
The long‐term monitoring of nests may constitute a reliable and affordable method, with the help of citizen science, for assessing changes in breeding population sizes and conservation threats of mud‐nest building hirundines worldwide. Breeding adults, and completely built and destroyed nests of red‐rumped swallows Cecropis daurica (a1–a5), barn ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Silene uniflora‡

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 9, Page 2135-2157, September 2024.
Sea Campion (Silene uniflora) flowers throughout the summer on cliffs, dunes and shingle, mainly around the Atlantic and Baltic coasts of Europe. Plants may have hermaphrodite flowers, female‐only flowers or both. Long‐tongued Hymenoptera and night‐flying moths are important pollinators, and they commonly also transmit a castrating fungal disease ...

Uptake and biological responses in land snail Cornu aspersum exposed to vaporized CdCl2

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2018
The uptake of Cd and some biomarkers of exposure and effects have been investigated in specimens of land snail Cornu aspersum exposed to vaporized CdCl2 (10mg/L) for 7 days. The Cd levels quantified in snail's whole bodies confirmed Cd bioavailability trough vaporization and an higher accumulation in the midgut gland compared to the foot.

Diagnosis and management of Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii detected in an oral mass in a pink‐tongued skink (Cyclodomorphus gerarrdii)

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 102, Issue 8, Page 416-422, August 2024.
Cryptococcus is an encapsulated yeast that is found in both yeast and hyphal forms. Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii are the most medically important species, causing disease in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. A large, friable, sublingual mass was surgically resected from the oral cavity of a pink‐tongued skink ...
