Phenotypic Integration Facilitates Plasticity Through Reorganization of Traits Under Multiple Stress: Evidence From Asexual Water Flea Genotypes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study demonstrates that phenotypic integration, the coordinated covariation among traits, is itself a plastic and context‐dependent property in clonal Daphnia. Contrary to the classic constraint model, we found that stronger integration can facilitate greater plasticity, particularly under low‐food conditions, with differential plasticity between ...

Molecular Diversity of the Genus Plagiorchis Lühe, 1899 in Snail Hosts of Central Europe with Evidence of New Lineages

Diversity
Cercariae of Plagiorchis spp. are frequently reported in European freshwater snails, but their true diversity is difficult to estimate due to subtle differences in morphology.

Effects of Salinity and Temperature on Survival, Growth, and Food Intake of Ramshorn Snail (Helisoma anceps)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study examines how salinity and temperature affect the survival, growth, and food intake of the freshwater snail Helisoma anceps. Snails exposed to salinities of 10 ppt and above died within 48 h, while growth and food intake decreased as salinity increased. The results provide information on the environmental limits of H. anceps and its use under

Anthropogenic Disturbance Shapes Native–Alien Community Patterns Across Urban–Rural Gradients in a Neglected Invertebrate Model System

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Urbanisation and habitat disturbance are well‐known to promote the spread of opportunistic and alien species, but their effect on alien land snails has seldom been investigated. This research aimed to test whether alien snails presence and abundance can be influenced by proximity to roads, water sources and human structures, as well as the site size ...

Artificial light at night and an invasive snail synergistically enhance the invasion of a nonnative macrophyte

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Herbivory shapes plant invasion outcomes, yet its role in aquatic plant invasions under artificial light at night (ALAN) remains poorly understood. We conducted three experiments using an invasive macrophyte Myriophyllum aquaticum, a native macrophyte community comprising Vallisneria natans, Hydrilla verticillata, Myriophyllum spicatum, as ...

Knowledge gaps and areas for synthesis in experimental studies of context‐dependent predation risk

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract A growing number of experimental studies address whether the anti‐predator trait responses of prey are associated with costs to prey fitness (non‐consumptive effects) or to the fitness of other species (trait‐mediated indirect effects). Because ecologists remain keen to determine when these risk effects matter, there is a need to know how much

The Global South's OCBIL Theory Helps Elucidate Evolution, Ecology, and Conservation in Biological and Cultural Diversity

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Ecological theory has been shaped disproportionately by studies conducted in young, disturbance‐prone, relatively fertile landscapes (YODFELs), mostly in the Global North. Yet, many megadiverse regions in the Global South are dominated by old, climatically buffered, infertile landscapes (OCBILs), resulting in fundamentally different patterns that ...

Composition and Distribution of Snail Fauna in Water Bodies around Irrigation Schemes of Benue River Valley, Yola Area, Adamawa State, Nigeria

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management
Freshwater snails that act as intermediate host and some abiotic environmental factors plays a prominent roles in these infections. The objective of this paper as to assess the composition and distribution of the snail fauna in water bodies around ...

Total synthesis and structural characterization of a novel protein scaffold from the snail Biomphalaria glabrata

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Disulfide‐rich miniproteins constitute compact and highly stable scaffolds of growing interest for molecular and structural engineering. Schistosomins are ~80‐residue proteins conserved across gastropods that form a long‐standing orphan family whose structure and biological roles have remained unknown.
