Physico-chemical variables determining the invasion risk of freshwater habitats by alien mollusks and crustaceans [PDF]
, 2012 The aim of this study was to assess the invasion risk of freshwater habitats and determine the environmental variables that are most favorable for the establishment of alien amphipods, isopods, gastropods, and bivalves.

Genome Architecture and Speciation in Plants and Animals
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.ABSTRACT There have been numerous treatments of specific topics in speciation, but surprisingly few papers have compared patterns and processes of speciation across different organismal groups. In this review, we partially address this gap by asking how variation in genome architecture impacts speciation across the plant and animal kingdoms.

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.

Experimental evidence of inbreeding avoidance in the hermaphroditic snail Physa acuta [PDF]
, 2018 Inbreeding depression should select for inbreeding avoidance behaviours. Here we test this hypothesis in two populations of the simultaneous hermaphroditic freshwater snail Physa acuta.

Body size–dependent gender role in a simultaneous hermaphrodite freshwater snail, Physa acuta [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 2004 We examined whether gender role in the simultaneous hermaphrodite freshwater snail, Physa acuta, is determined by relative body size in a manner predicted by the size-advantage model. We observed the body-size combinations of pairs in the laboratory by using field-collected populations. Smaller individuals tended to play the ‘‘male’’ role (sperm donor),

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

Gender-role alternation in the simultaneously hermaphroditic freshwater snail Physa acuta: not with the same partner [PDF]
, 2018 In simultaneous hermaphrodites, gender conflicts that arise from two potential mates sharing the same gender preference may be solved through conditional reciprocity (or gamete trading).

Principal response curves technique for the analysis of multivariate biomonitoring time series [PDF]
Although chemical and biological monitoring is often used to evaluate the quality of surface waters for regulatory purposes and/or to evaluate environmental status and trends, the resulting biological and chemical data sets are large and difficult to ...
