Identifying potential emerging invasive non‐native species from the freshwater pet trade
People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1948-1961, December 2023., 2023 Abstract An increasingly globalised world has facilitated the movement of non‐native species (NNS) via the poorly regulated international pet trade. While focus is increasingly being placed on preventative action to combat invasive NNS—often cheaper and less difficult than the management of established populations—successful prevention requires ...

Statistical discrimination of sex in Melanoides tuberculata (Gastropoda: Thiaridae) [PDF]
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1996 Abstract Systematists may rely on morphometric differences among samples of specimens for the recognition of living and fossil species, even though morphometric differentiation may be caused by non-genetic factors, such as ecophenotypy, differential growth rates and taphonomic mixing.

A global review of problematic and pathogenic parasites of farmed tilapia
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 15, Issue S1, Page 92-153, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Over the past 80 years, tilapia have been translocated globally for aquaculture; active production is recorded in >124 countries. Of 7 million tonnes of tilapia produced in aquaculture, 79% is from 79 countries outside the natural range of tilapia.

Melanoides tuberculata (Müller, 1774): northeastern dispersal in the São Francisco basin, Brazil [PDF]
Check List, 2013 Melanoides tuberculata (Müller, 1774) (Gastropoda: Thiaridae) is the exotic species with the widest distribution among the freshwater macrobenthos in Brazil. The snail is a threat to native species and has medical and economical importance. In this study

Lacustrine mollusc radiations in the Lake Malawi Basin : experiments in a natural laboratory for evolution [PDF]
, 2012 In terminal Pliocene-early Pleistocene times, part of the Malawi Basin was occupied by paleo-lake Chiwondo. Molluscan biostratigraphy situates this freshwater lake either in the East African wet phase between 2.7-2.4 Ma or that of 2.0-1.8 Ma.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2089-2099, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Freshwater molluscs are hosts for diverse metazoan symbionts. However, apart from the digenean helminths, symbionts of molluscs are underreported worldwide. Therefore, this study focused on the diversity of oligochaetes, leeches, mites, insect larvae and nematodes associated with gastropods and bivalves from Lake Victoria, East Africa. Overall,

Recurrent camouflaged invasions and dispersal of an Asian freshwater gastropod in tropical Africa [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Non-indigenous taxa currently represent a large fraction of the species and biomass of freshwater ecosystems. The accumulation of invasive taxa in combination with other stressors in these ecosystems may alter the habitats to which native ...

Austral Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 7, Page 1480-1494, November 2022., 2022 Abstract Trophic niche analysis can be used to assess ecological opportunities available to alien species in areas of introduction that might aid their establishment, define their functional role and inform on their potential impacts. This study assessed the trophic niche utilized by an invasive population of the Australian redclaw crayfish, Cherax ...
