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.

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
