Microhabitat preferences of Biomphalaria pfeifferi and Lymnaea natalensis in a natural and a man-made habitat in southeastern Tanzania. [PDF]
, 2000 Schistosoma mansoni is an important human parasitic disease which is widespread throughout Africa. As Biomphalaria pfeifferi snails act as intermediate host, knowledge of their population ecology is an essential prerequisite towards understanding disease

The freshwater prosobranch snails fagotia in Turkey
, 2020 The three recent species of the Prosobranch freshwater snails Fagotia (Melanopsinae) live in Turkey. Two of them are of pontian origin. But only one seems to be endemic in the Central Anatolian tableland. The way of immigration is explained by means of the geological development in the Pleistocene and a connection to the other pontian species is ...

Camouflaged or tanned: plasticity in freshwater snail pigmentation [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2013 By having phenotypically plastic traits, many organisms optimize their fitness in response to fluctuating threats. Freshwater snails with translucent shells, e.g. snails from the Radix genus, differ considerably in their mantle pigmentation patterns, with snails from the same water body ranging from being completely

Molecular Evolution of Freshwater Snails with Contrasting Mating Systems [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2015 Because mating systems affect population genetics and ecology, they are expected to impact the molecular evolution of species. Self-fertilizing species experience reduced effective population size, recombination rates, and heterozygosity, which in turn should decrease the efficacy of natural selection, both adaptive and purifying, and the strength of ...

What explains the invading success of the aquatic mud snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Hydrobiidae, Mollusca)? [PDF]
, 2008 The spread of non-native species is one of the most harmful and least reversible disturbances in ecosystems. Species have to overcome several filters to become a pest (transport, establishment, spread and impact). Few studies have checked the traits that
