A laboratory and in situ postexposure feeding assay with a freshwater snail [PDF]
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2013 Abstract Contaminant-driven feeding inhibition has direct and immediate consequences at higher levels of biological organization, by depressing the population consumption and thus hampering ecosystem functioning (e.g., grazing, organic matter decomposition).

Persistence and dynamic of forest snails in the Western Carpathians over the last 40 thousand years
Boreas, EarlyView.The glacial/interglacial cycles have shaped the landscape of temperate Europe for the past 2.5 million years, with open landscapes prevailing during the glacial and forested landscapes during the interglacial periods. However, the survival and recolonization strategies of temperate forest species during glacial phases remain poorly understood and hotly

Environment-dependent inbreeding depression in a hermaphroditic freshwater snail [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2003 Abstract Inbreeding depression was simultaneously studied under contrasted environments, laboratory and natural conditions, using individuals originating from 14 families of the freshwater snail Physa acuta. Both survival and growth of juveniles showed inbreeding depression under laboratory conditions.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Historical Biogeography of Spiny Lobsters in the Genus Panulirus (Achelata: Palinuridae)
Journal of Biogeography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aim Panulirus is the spiny lobster genus with the most living species, containing 22 recognised species split into two lineages distinguished by habitat preference. Diversification has been proposed to occur due to geographic events affecting the distribution of adults and the dispersal potential of long‐lived larvae by oceanic currents ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Understanding the feeding habits of predatory fish is essential for unravelling food web structures and implementing conservation strategies in riverine ecosystems. However, conventional lethal stomach content analysis methods are not necessarily appropriate for long‐term dietary studies, particularly for threatened species, as they require ...
