Colonisation History of Freshwater Snails Across the Atlantic and Mediterranean Islands: Insights From Mercuria (Littorinimorpha, Hydrobiidae)

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Islands harbour unique biodiversity, and depending on their geological origin, they have fundamentally different colonisation histories: continental islands may contain relict faunas shaped by vicariance and sporadic gene flow, whereas oceanic islands must have been colonised across open seas, often through long‐distance dispersal events ...

Integrating Acoustic Telemetry and Stable Isotope Data Reveals Overlap in Resource Use by Large‐Bodied Fishes in a Temperate Lake

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Temperate lake ecosystems undergo seasonal shifts that disproportionately alter the availability of suitable habitat for fishes of different thermal guilds. While many studies have investigated fish habitat use patterns, few have estimated the degree to which fish species overlap in space across seasons from a three‐dimensional perspective ...

A Spatial Clustering Approach of Economic Activities: An Application to the Agribusiness Sector in Brazil's Midwest Region

Geographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of economic activities is central to regional economics. However, empirical tools for comparing industries based on the similarity of their spatial distributions remain limited. Traditional cluster analysis typically ignores geographical distance and connectivity, while spatial methods focus on clustering places rather

Stochastic processes govern gut bacterial community assembly in a Schistosoma mansoni-transmitting snail, Biomphalaria straminea.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
BackgroundStudies have revealed extensive taxonomic classifications and patterns of gut microbial diversity in snails, with limited focus on community assembly processes.

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 ...

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.

Snail intermediate host occurrence recorded by citizen scientists in rural Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo

GigaByte
Snail-borne parasitic diseases, such as schistosomiasis and fascioliasis, pose significant public health and economic challenges worldwide. Schistosomiasis affects over 250 million people globally, with most cases in sub-Saharan Africa, while ...

Fluid Toxicities: Violent Affective Ecologies in Cartagena, Colombia

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Water is at the centre of climate change emergency concerns in coastal cities. It constitutes here a fluid entry point to investigating the socio‐ecological politics of toxicities for residents dwelling with and against contaminated waters in Cartagena, Colombia's urban extensions.

Widespread Association of Ciliates Colonizing Gills of Shrimps Inhabiting Vents and Seeps Across the Pacific Ocean

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacterial symbiosis is well‐documented in chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems, but associations with microeukaryotes remain overlooked. In this study, using scanning electron microscopy and 18S rDNA barcoding, we investigate the presence, diversity, and biogeographic patterns of ciliate epibionts associated with two deep‐sea caridean families ...

A Review of Rice–Fish Farming in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam: Practices, Challenges and Future Perspectives

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Rice and fish are staple foods essential for food security, supplying carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids and fatty acids vital to human nutrition. In Vietnam, they also underpin local and national economies. Rice is predominantly cultivated in irrigated systems under diverse ecological and hydrological conditions, particularly in flood‐prone
