Pesticide‐Free Rice Paddies Promote Diverse and Distinct Aquatic Invertebrate Communities in Cool‐Temperate Agroecosystems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Freshwater wetlands are disappearing across agricultural landscapes, prompting interest in pesticide‐free rice paddies as multifunctional habitats. Across 2 years, rice paddies supported higher local macroinvertebrate density and richness than nearby natural wetlands, although wetlands maintained greater regional diversity and more heterogeneous ...

No effects of waterproof marking on the behaviour and growth of Physa acuta Draparnaud, 1805 (Gastropoda: Hygrophila: Physidae) in the laboratory

open access: yesFolia Malacologica, 2021
Physa acuta Draparnaud, 1805 is one of the most common freshwater gastropod species, with worldwide distribution. It is an effective periphyton grazer and a potential keystone species in shallow-water systems, where it can boost macrophyte well-being and thus help maintain high water clarity even in nutrient-rich habitats. P.

Assessing the Conservation Status, Drivers of Threat and Available Occurrence Records of Sub‐Saharan African Freshwater Molluscs: Gaps and Patterns

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater molluscs are key bioindicators of ecosystem health, yet their conservation status and data coverage in sub‐Saharan Africa remain poorly understood. Mollusca is the third most evaluated phylum on the IUCN Red List in Africa, with 1394 species assessed (656 freshwater), of which 39.6% are Least Concern and 12% Critically Endangered ...

Macroinvertebrados bentónicos y calidad del agua en un tramo del río Bogotá. Cajicá-Colombia

open access: yesRevista U.D.C.A Actualidad & Divulgación Científica, 2013
Entre febrero y septiembre de 2011, se tomaron muestras de sustrato blando en aguas someras, en tres sectores de un tramo rural del río Bogotá, ubicado en el área de Cajicá (Cundinamarca). Dada la importancia del río para la Sabana de Bogotá, el objetivo

Phylogeography and genetics of the globally invasive snail Physa acuta Draparnaud 1805, and its potential to serve as an intermediate host to larval digenetic trematodes

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Physa acuta is a globally invasive freshwater snail native to North America. Prior studies have led to conflicting views of how P. acuta populations are connected and genetic diversity is partitioned globally.

Long‐term reduction of invasive killer shrimp (Dikerogammarus villosus) density following removal of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) shells and coarse substrate on UK lake beds

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
Working with Citizen Scientists, researchers tested manual removal of coarse cobbles and zebra mussel shells from fine‐sediment lake beds to reduce invasive killer shrimp densities. Killer shrimp use these features for habitat, and after clearing them from 3 × 3 m sections of lakebed, killer shrimp densities were reduced by over 90% in these sections ...

Biofilms, Bugs, and the Built Environment: Exploring Local and Landscape Drivers of Diatom and Macroinvertebrate Assemblages in Urban Stormwater Ponds

open access: yesWater Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 7, July 2026.
Urban stormwater ponds support pollution‐tolerant diatom and macroinvertebrate assemblages that are shaped more by local water quality, contaminants, and habitat features than by surrounding land use. Integrating biological monitoring can better inform stormwater management and urban biodiversity planning.
