Plant and Animal-Type Feedstuff Shape the Gut Microbiota and Metabolic Processes of the Chinese Mitten Crab Eriocheir sinensis

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
In animals, growth and development are strongly correlated with the gut microbiota and metabolic profiles. In this study, gut microbiome communities, metabolic profiles, and growth performance of Eriocheir sinensis under three dietary feed types based on

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.

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.

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 ...

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.
