Temperature drives asymmetric competition between alien and indigenous freshwater snails (Physa acuta vs. Physa fontinalis)

open access: gold, 2015
Biological invasion represent one of the major threats to global biodiversity as alien species often displace indigenous species. However, knowledge of the mechanisms behind such displacements and the driving factors of the competitive superiority of the alien species still remain rare.

Invaders as Diluents of the Cercarial Dermatitis Etiological Agent [PDF]

open access: yesPathogens, 2021
Research on alien and invasive species focuses on the direct effects of invasion on native ecosystems, and the possible positive effects of their presence are most often overlooked.

Ovoposició en poblacions de "Physa acuta" "(Gastropoda: Pulmonata)" mantingudes al laboratori [PDF]

open access: yesButlletí de la Institució Catalana d'Història Natural, 1981
The ovipositional parameter, number of egg masses/snailxday, has been recorded in laboratory-kept populations of Physa acuta in the period 1973-1975. The results show a clear non circadian rhythm with a period slightly over 3 days long, and whose extent ...

The effects of naproxen sodium on the growth, reproduction, survival, and feeding of a freshwater pond snail [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ
Over-the-counter drugs are emerging contaminants in the environment. These contaminants often affect aquatic communities, including freshwater invertebrates. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly found in aquatic ecosystems worldwide

Freshwater Snails at the Biodiversity-Climate-Health Nexus: A Call to Recognize Neglected Models for Eco-Evolutionary and One Health Research. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Freshwater 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.
