Using Natural History Collections to Determine the Relative Changes in Diversity and Distribution of Freshwater Molluscs in KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Research using natural history collections to track anthropogenic activities has recently been on the rise. Natural history collections have been utilised beyond their traditional taxonomic and systematic roles, generating data that shape present and future research.

Karyological Features of the Genus Planorbarius (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Bulinidae) of the Ukranian Fauna [PDF]

, 2007
The absence of significant distinctions between the species of the genus Planorbarius in the narrow sense (P. corneus, P. banaticus, P. purpura, and P. grandis) has been established. All investigated species had identical chromosomal formulas (2n= 30 m +

Evidences That Host Genetic Background More Than the Environment Shapes the Microbiota of the Snail Bulinus truncatus, an Intermediate Host of Schistosoma Species

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbiota have emerged as fundamental regulators of host physiology, shaping both ecological interactions and evolutionary trajectories. Yet, the determinants of microbiota diversity and structure in wild populations—particularly the respective roles of host genetics and environmental context—are still poorly understood.

First record of the North American cryptic invader Ferrissia fragilis (Tryon, 1863) (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Planorbidae) in the Middle East [PDF]

, 2014
Some gastropod specimens belonging to the planorbid genus Ferrissia were recently collected in Lebanon and in Iraq, where the autochthonous species Ferrissia clessiniana (Jickeli, 1882) is supposed to occur.

Effects of Lateral Hydrological Connectivity on Aquatic Invertebrate Assemblages in Floodplains, Oxbow Lakes and the Main River Channel of the Savannah River, Southeastern USA

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Within river corridors, hydrological connectivity drives the local abiotic and biotic processes, shapes ecosystem functioning and promotes biodiversity. However, hydrological cycling is changing due to climate change, and drought is intensifying and becoming more frequent in many regions of the world, making it critical to understand the ...

Genetical exchanges between one Biomphalaria glabrata (Gastropoda: Planorbidae) and a varying number of partners Trocas genéticas entre uma Biomphalaria glabrata (Gastropoda: Planorbidae) e um número variado de parceiros

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1987
When one pigmented Biomphalaria glabrata is mated with 1 to 20 albino snails, the percentage of albino parent producing pigmented offspring decreases while the percentage of parent laying albino offspring increases.
