Impact of Salinity on the Gastrointestinal Bacterial Community of Theodoxus fluviatilis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Differences in salinity are boundaries that act as barriers for the dispersal of most aquatic organisms. This creates distinctive biota in freshwater and brackish water (mesohaline) environments.

THE FLUSHING FOR LEAD IN FRESHWATER SNAIL FILOPALUDINA JAVANICA (VON DEM BUSCH, 1844) [PDF]
Russian Journal of Agricultural and Socio-Economic Sciences, 2017 Increasing industrial activities in Lamongan District is assumed to be followed by the increase on the amount of liters in rivers and ponds. Freshwater snails (Filopaludina javanika v.d Busch 1844) that live in rivers and ponds are always exposed to ...

Whole genome analysis of a schistosomiasis-transmitting freshwater snail [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 AbstractBiomphalaria snails are instrumental in transmission of the human blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni. With the World Health Organization's goal to eliminate schistosomiasis as a global health problem by 2025, there is now renewed emphasis on snail control. Here, we characterize the genome of Biomphalaria glabrata, a lophotrochozoan protostome, and

PHYSID SNAILS AS SENTINELS OF FRESHWATER NEMATOMORPHS
Journal of Parasitology, 2001 Freshwater nematomorphs, or gordiids, are parasitic as larvae, but free-living in aquatic environments as adults. Studies based on the collection of adults have reported gordiids to be widespread, but discontinuous in distribution. However, a relatively short adult life span and unknown life history make the detection of adults difficult.

Exposure to parasites increases promiscuity in a freshwater snail [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2014 Under the Red Queen hypothesis, outcrossing can produce genetically variable progeny, which may be more resistant, on average, to locally adapted parasites. Mating with multiple partners may enhance this resistance by further increasing the genetic variation among offspring.

Taxonomy, Conservation, and the Future of Native Aquatic Snails in the Hawaiian Islands
Diversity, 2021 Freshwater systems are among the most threatened habitats in the world and the biodiversity inhabiting them is disappearing quickly. The Hawaiian Archipelago has a small but highly endemic and threatened group of freshwater snails, with eight species in ...

Clonal diversity driven by parasitism in a freshwater snail [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2013 AbstractOne explanation for the widespread abundance of sexual reproduction is the advantage that genetically diverse sexual lineages have under strong pressure from virulent coevolving parasites. Such parasites are believed to track common asexual host genotypes, resulting in negative frequency‐dependent selection that counterbalances the population ...
