Microplastics Affect Rates of Locomotion and Reproduction via Dietary Uptake in Globally Invasive Snail Physa acuta [PDF]
Water, 2023 Given the omnipresence and potential of entering the food web, the recently emerged pollutant microplastics (MPs) has become a global threat. The impacts of MPs in marine ecosystems are well documented, but the freshwater environment is relatively ...

Both nuclear and cytoplasmic polymorphisms are involved in genetic conflicts over male fertility in the gynodioecious snail Physa acuta. [PDF]
Evolution; international journal of organic evolutionGynodioecy, the coexistence of hermaphrodites with females, often reflects conflicts between cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) genes and nuclear genes restoring male fertility. CMS is frequent in plants, and has been recently discovered in one animal: the
