A Contribution Toward Understanding Trematode Diversity in Freshwater Snails of the Southwestern Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. [PDF]
J Trop MedBackground Freshwater snails serve as intermediate hosts for trematode parasites and play a key role in transmitting various parasitic diseases. Snail‐borne trematodiases pose important public and veterinary health risks in South Asia, where freshwater snails sustain transmission in agricultural and periurban waters.

Freshwater Snails at the Biodiversity-Climate-Health Nexus: A Call to Recognize Neglected Models for Eco-Evolutionary and One Health Research. [PDF]
Ecol EvolFreshwater snails occupy a unique position at the intersection of biodiversity, climate, and health. I argue that their ecological plasticity, reproductive diversity, and role as parasite hosts make them powerful yet overlooked model systems for integrating eco‐evolutionary dynamics with One Health challenges.

Interactive Effects of Two Global Contaminants on Behavioral Variation in Brine Shrimp. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWildlife is often exposed to multiple pollutants with unknown joint effects. We tested how two aquatic pollutants at realistic levels alter activity in Artemia. Phenanthrene reduced average activity but not when mixed with 2,4‐dichlorophenol. Both pollutants and their mix reduced behavioral plasticity but not individuality, highlighting the importance ...

Field surveys reveal physicochemical conditions promoting occurrence and high abundance of an invasive freshwater snail (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) [PDF]
Aquatic Invasions, 2023 Environmental conditions promoting the occurrence and high abundance of non-native taxa are linked to critical stages of species invasions: establishment, whether a site can sustain a population of the non-native taxon, and impact, the extent to which ...

Impacts of Land Use and Water Quality on Macroinvertebrate Diversity Under Human Disturbance in the Lake Chaohu Basin, China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur study revealed that human activities drive changes in macroinvertebrate diversity through the combined effects of land use and water quality. The results showed that sensitive taxa (Semisulcospira cancelata) dominated in low disturbance areas, Bellamya (Bellamya aeruginosa) and Alocinma (Alocinma longicornis) were predominant in moderate ...
