Size-assortative mating in simultaneous hermaphrodites: an experimental test and a meta-analysis [PDF]
, 2015 Assortative mating by size has been argued to be widespread in the animal kingdom. However, the strength of size-assortative mating is known to vary considerably between species and the underlying mechanisms promoting this inter-specific variation remain

Haplotype variation in the Physa acuta group (Basommatophora): genetic diversity and distribution in Serbia [PDF]
Mediterranean Marine Science, 2016 The genus Physa (= Physella) includes the most abundant and diverse freshwater gastropods native to North America. Due to their invasive nature many species occur throughout the world. The most abundant species, Physa acuta, has been introduced to Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia by human commerce and migrating birds.

Spatio-temporal co-occurrence of alien and native molluscs : a modelling approach using physical-chemical predictors [PDF]
, 2017 The invasion of alien species can have serious economic and ecological impacts. Ecologically, invasions often lead to an increased rate of native species replacement and decreased biodiversity.

Effect of spatial variation on salinity tolerance of macroinvertebrates in Eastern Australia and implications for ecosystem protection trigger values [PDF]
, 2008 Salinisation of freshwater has been identified as a serious environmental issue in Australia and around the world. Protective concentrations (trigger values) for salinity can be used to manage salinity impacts, though require locally relevant salinity ...

Matching maternal and paternal experiences underpin molecular thermal acclimation
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 15, August 2025.Abstract The environment experienced by one generation has the potential to affect the subsequent one through non‐genetic inheritance of parental effects. Since both mothers and fathers can influence their offspring, questions arise regarding how the maternal, paternal and offspring experiences integrate into the resulting phenotype.

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

Biochemical responses to the toxicity of the biocide abamectin on the freshwater snail Physa acuta
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2014 The toxic effects of abamectin (ABM), an anthelmintic drug, on the snail, Physa Acuta, and the biochemical responses to the exposure stress were evaluated. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione S-transferase (GST), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and nitric oxide synthase (NOS), and the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA)

When One Global Invasion Hides Another—Cryptic Interspecific Invasion in Freshwater Gastropods
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Cryptic invasions are an understudied phenomenon among species invasions, especially in freshwater invertebrates. We study the gastropod family Physidae, including the global invaders Physella acuta and several enigmatic Stenophysa species, their phylogenetic relationships and the presence of native species among African Physidae. We infer
