Novel environments induce variability in fitness‐related traits
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023 Snails expressed much greater variability in specific growth rates in novel, transplanted sites relative to their natal site (a; p < .001). Populations expressed moderately higher variability in aperture area in novel sites relative to their natal site (b; p ≤ .020) and no difference in variability in aperture shape (ratio of aperture width to aperture

On the use of antibiotics in plasticity research: Gastropod shells unveil a tale of caution
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 5, Page 1055-1064, May 2023., 2023 This study investigates the invasive cosmopolitan gastropod Physella acuta, an established plasticity model system. Its results highlight that antibiotic treatment has the potential to uncover a larger extent of risk‐induced morphological antipredator plasticity but might counterintuitively distort plasticity estimates for natural populations where ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 947-958, April 2023., 2023 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Contemporary ecosystems commonly support multiple non‐native species, which can alter community structure and directly or indirectly interact with one another. Novel interactions between invasive species can result in the facilitation or suppression of one or both ...

Influence of Water Temperature on the MXR Activity and P-glycoprotein Expression in the Freshwater Snail, Physa acuta (Draparnaud, 1805) [PDF]
, 2017 P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated multixenobioticresistance (MXR) is a mechanism analogous to multidrug resistance, which has been extensivelycharacterized in mammalian tumours.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 The life history traits (life span and growth), annual secondary production, and population size structure of Asia widespread pulmonate Radix swinhoei were carefully and systematically examined across 1 year in nearshore regions of a hypereutrophic plateau lake, Lake Dianchi. The maximum potential life span of R.

Molecular Phylogenetics of Physa acuta (Pulmonata: Basommatophora): an Invasive species in Central Punjab Pakistan [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2023 Abstract Physids belong to Class Gastropoda; belong to Phylum Mollusca and being bioindicators, intermediate hosts of parasites and pests hold a key position in the ecosystem. There are three species of Genus Physa i.e. P. fontinalis, Physa acuta and P.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022 Environmental factors can have profound effects on the strength and direction of selection and recent studies suggest that such environmentdependent selection can be sex‐specific. We manipulated diet quality in an insect model finding no sex‐specific effect of dietary stress on reproductive success.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022 In invasive populations of the New Zealand Mud Snail in Europe shell morphology, which is fitness relevant, is sensitive to temperature. The genetic variation underlying size and shape is very limited. As temperature is obviously not the sole factor influencing shell morphology, their interaction will probably not be a factor limiting population ...

River Research and Applications, Volume 38, Issue 8, Page 1362-1373, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Invasive alien species continue to spread and proliferate in waterways worldwide, but environmental drivers of invasion dynamics lack assessment. Knowledge gaps are pervasive in the Global South, where the frequent heavy human‐modification of rivers provides high opportunity for invasion.
