Seasonal variation in bay‐marsh sediment exchange through a back‐barrier salt marsh tidal creek

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Salt marsh resilience to sea‐level rise largely depends on the balance of sediment exchanges with surrounding bays. In this study, we investigate mechanisms that determine residual sediment fluxes using continuous measurements of bay‐marsh sediment exchange conducted in a tidal creek spanning 13 months (753 tidal cycles) in an intertidal marsh

A phylogeny of the land snails (Gastropoda: Pulmonata) [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2001
We have undertaken the first large-scale molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Stylommatophora. Sequences of the ribosomal RNA gene-cluster were examined in 104 species of snails and slugs from 50 families, encompassing all the currently recognized major groups. It allows an independent test of the present classification based on morphology.

Carbon sedimentation in shallow floodplain lakes

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Shallow lakes are increasingly recognized as important sites for organic carbon (OC) storage. However, the drivers of OC deposition in shallow floodplain lakes remain unclear due to complex terrestrial and aquatic interactions. Using 8 yr of monthly sediment trap data in a cross‐ecosystem experiment on six UK shallow lakes of varying riverine ...

Losers and winners: responses of grassland arthropods to land‐use components

Oikos, EarlyView.
Intensified land‐use in grasslands reduces biodiversity, particularly affecting arthropod populations. However, responses of individual species vary depending on their ecological traits and habitat requirements. Some species may tolerate or even benefit from intensive land‐use, while others, particularly specialists or those with narrow niches, are ...

A social license to operate theory for lethal control of crown‐of‐thorns starfish on the Great Barrier Reef

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Outbreaks of crown‐of‐thorns starfish (COTS) have been recorded on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) since 1962 and have considerable ecological and economic impact. Monitoring and control of COTS to predict, prevent and mitigate outbreaks is an important part of the ongoing protection of the GBR.

Toxic effect of clove oil on the survival and histology of various tissues of pestiferous land snail Achatina fulica (Bowdich, 1822)

, 2017
Achatina fulica is a global agricultural pest affecting subtropical and tropical areas including India. Nowadays using natural molluscicides for snail control is considered to be the most pragmatic approach.The aim of this study was to assess the ...

INTRODUCED LAND SNAILS AND SLUGS IN COLOMBIA [PDF]

Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2002
Twelve species of introduced land molluscs, including seven slug species, have been found in the cold zone above 2000 m altitude in the Departamentos Cundinamarca and Boyacá, and the Distrito Especial in Colombia. The introduced land molluscs remain generally restricted to disturbed environments, from which native species are often absent.

Mollusk Loves: Becoming With Native and Introduced Land Snails in the Hawaiian Islands

Island Studies Journal, 2022
Hawaiian island land snails once represented one of the most diverse archipelagic evolutionary radiations. Historically, indigenous Hawaiians (Kānaka maoli) and Westerners also heard some snails (kāhuli) sing.
