The morphology, genetic structure, and haplotype distribution of the invasive freshwater snails Biomphalaria straminea and Physa acuta in Guangdong, China [PDF]
Tropical Medicine and HealthBackground Biomphalaria and Physa (order Gastropoda) serve as vectors and reservoirs for infectious agents that affect both humans and animals. This study provides updated insights into the epidemiology, morphology, phylogeny, and haplotype diversity of ...

Interactions between two functionally distinct aquatic invertebrate herbivores complicate ecosystem- and population-level resilience [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Resilience, the capacity for a system to bounce-back after a perturbation, is critical for conservation and restoration efforts. Different functional traits have differential effects on system-level resilience. We test this experimentally in a lab system

The heritability of shell morphometrics in the freshwater pulmonate gastropod Physa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The cosmopolitan freshwater pulmonate snail Physa acuta hybridizes readily with Physa carolinae in the laboratory, although their F1 progeny are sterile. The two species differ qualitatively in shell shape, the former bearing a more globose shell and the
