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 ...

Effects of Salinity and Temperature on Survival, Growth, and Food Intake of Ramshorn Snail (<i>Helisoma anceps</i>). [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis 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

The Respiration of Freshwater Snails [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1959 ABSTRACT The oxygen consumption of some Danish freshwater snails was studied in relation to varying periods of starvation, varying temperatures, weight of animals and oxygen content of the water. The observed respiration is a moderately active metabolism, not a basal one.

ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS AND THE MAINTENANCE OF SEX IN A FRESHWATER SNAIL [PDF]
Evolution, 1998 Synergism among mutations can lead to an advantage to sexual reproduction, provided mutation rates are high enough (the mutational deterministic hypothesis). Here we tested the idea that competition for food can increase the advantage to sexual reproduction, perhaps by increasing the synergism among mutations in asexual individuals.
