Climate change affects litter decomposition in the benthic and hyporheic zones of stream mesocosms
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Leaf litter decomposition is crucial for the functional ecology of streams, governing nutrient cycling, energy flows and food web configurations. Climate change affects stream ecosystem properties by altering temperature, sediment composition and flow regimes, hence ...

An Annotated Draft Genome for Radix auricularia (Gastropoda, Mollusca)
Molluscs are the second most species-rich phylum in the animal kingdom, yet only eleven genomes of this group have been published so far. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of the pulmonate freshwater snail Radix auricularia.

ABSTRACT Environmental and biological factors strongly shape fish diets, yet little is known about such influences in flooded Karst Dolines of the Neotropical region. This study examined the diet of Deuterodon luetkenii and assessed its temporal and ontogenetic variation in Lagoa Misteriosa, a karstic lagoon. Fish were sampled bimonthly over 1 year and

Long‐Term Mobility of a Harvested, Rocky‐Reef Gastropod
ABSTRACT Stocks of Turbo militaris (Turbinidae) are under increasing harvesting pressure, but management is currently hampered by data deficiency. Management decisions for rocky‐reef gastropod fisheries should consider long‐term species mobility, yet this is often poorly understood. Therefore, mark‐recapture was used to evaluate annual displacement and

Biology and Food Habits of the Invasive Snail Allopeas gracile (Gastropoda: Subulinidae)
The biology of the widely occurring but poorly known terrestrial snail Allopeas gracile (Hutton, 1834) (Gastropoda: Subulinidae) was determined, emphasizing food relationships. Isolated snails reproduced without cross fertilization.

Function of the Osphradium in Bullia (Gastropoda) [PDF]
Krijgsman and Brown1 have recently described a technique for operating on fully extended and immobilized marine Gastropoda. We have now used this ‘water-rigour’ method on 124 individuals of Bullia laevissima (Gmelin) preparatory to severing their osphradial nerves in order to discover the function of the osphradium.

ABSTRACT Aim Thuridilla Bergh, 1872, is a lineage of herbivorous sea slugs externally distinguished by bright colours and distinctive patterns of lines and spots. Recent work revealed an exceptionally rapid, cryptic radiation of 13 species in the Indo‐Pacific, raising questions about mechanisms of speciation in this group.

Reduced Adult Neurogenesis in Humans Results From a Tradeoff Rather Than Direct Negative Selection
Embryonic radial glia (RG) generate neurons, glial cells, and later adult neural stem cells, which sustain adult neurogenesis (top, left to right). Human‐specific genetic modifications (blue arrow), selected to boost early RG neurogenic activity, may lead to premature RG exhaustion and reduced adult neurogenesis in the human brain (bottom).

Relating Depth and Diversity of Bivalvia and Gastropoda in Two Contrasting Sub-Arctic Marine Regions
The need to understand species distribution- and biodiversity patterns in high-latitude marine regions is immediate as these marine environments are undergoing rapid environmental changes, including ocean warming and ocean acidification. By the year 2100,
