The genome sequence of the Whirlpool Ramshorn snail, Anisus vortex (Linnaeus, 1758) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2023
We present a genome assembly from an individual Anisus vortex (the Whirlpool Ramshorn snail; Mollusca; Gastropoda; Hygrophila; Lymnaeoidea; Planorbidae). The genome sequence is 869.5 megabases in span.

Revealing hidden sources of uncertainty in biodiversity trend assessments

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.
Idiosyncratic decisions during the biodiversity trend assessment process may limit reproducibility, whilst ‘hidden' uncertainty due to collection bias, taxonomic incompleteness, and variable taxonomic resolution may limit the reliability of reported trends.

Stream Invertebrate Responses to Fine Sediment Depend on the Organic and Inorganic Components

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Excess fine sediment ( < 2 mm) is a pervasive stressor of aquatic systems at a global scale. To date, most research quantifying ecological response to deposited fine sediment has been conducted without distinguishing between the organic and inorganic components of fine sediment, leaving mechanistic understanding of how fine sediment affects ...

The South-American distribution and southernmost record of Biomphalaria peregrina—a potential intermediate host of schistosomiasis [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Schistosomiasis remains a major parasitic disease, endemic in large parts of South America. Five neotropical species of Biomphalaria have been found to act as intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni in natural populations, while others have been shown ...

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

Observação do comportamento biológico de Biomphalaria glabrata de concha anômala Observations on the biological behaviour of Biomphalaria glabrata with an anomalous shell

Revista de Saúde Pública, 1975
Foi encontrado na criação de Biomphalaria glabrata em laboratório, um caramujo vivo com anomalia na concha. A anomalia consiste na mudança de nível das voltas. O exemplar foi isolado para estudo de seu comportamento biológico.

A dataset of individual wet weights of benthic macroinvertebrates

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 696-715, December 2024.
Abstract Biomass estimates are crucial for modeling and understanding energy flow through ecosystems. Many modeling frameworks rely on published body weights of organisms to convert density estimates to biomass. However, published body weight data are limited to few taxa in a limited number of systems. Here we present mean individual weights for common

True metabolizable energy of foods consumed by lesser scaup (Aythya affinis)

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 48, Issue 4, December 2024.
Estimating true metabolizable energy (TME) of available foods has become a common way for resource managers to increase reliability in energetic carrying capacity estimates and precision of management actions. We estimated nitrogen adjusted TME of five common foods of lesser scaup (Aythya affinis) by conducting feeding trials with wild birds.

Natural and experimental infection of planorbids from the Island of Santa Catarina (Brazil) Infecção natural e experimental de Planorbídeos da Ilha de Santa Catarina (Brasil)

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 1992
Studies on eight localities on the Island of Santa Catarina revealed the presence of three species of the molluscan family Planorbidae: Biomphalaria tenagophila, Drepanotrema cimex and Biomphalaria oligoza, the first one being naturally infected by ...
