Habitat Structure Shapes Mollusc Assemblages in an Urban Semiarid River: Implications for Conservation and Public Health

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Fine‐scale environmental drivers shape freshwater mollusc assemblages in urban semiarid rivers. We examined how substrate composition and water chemistry influence mollusc richness and abundance along a polluted stretch of a river in the Brazilian semiarid region. Surveys at five sites recorded 2479 individuals.

Ecophenotypic plasticity leads to extraordinary gastropod shells found on the "Roof of the World" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The often extraordinary shell forms and shapes of gastropods found in palaeolakes, such as the highly diverse Gyraulus fauna of the famous Steinheim Basin, have been puzzling evolutionary biologists for centuries, and there is an ongoing debate whether ...

Influence of Fluvial Structure on Benthic Macroinvertebrates in a Restored Meandering River, Geul Basin, Netherlands

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January‐February 2026.
ABSTRACT Benthic macroinvertebrates are indicators of water quality and riparian ecosystem health. Their abundance and distribution in streams are associated with river basin environmental factors, including stream biotic and abiotic fluvial processes. We examined benthic macroinvertebrate diversity and abundance in relation to large wood (LW) and pool‐

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

open access: yesPeerJ, 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 ...

Invasive Eurasian Minnow Alters the Trophic Niche and Growth of Brown Trout in High‐Latitude Lakes

open access: yesEcology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive species pose a major threat to aquatic ecosystems, particularly in high‐latitude lakes which are characterised by low biodiversity. In northern Europe, the Eurasian minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus) has colonised lakes historically dominated by salmonids, raising concerns about the impacts of invasive cyprinids on native fish populations and

First record of Helobdella hyalina (Hirudinea; Glossiphoniidae) in the mantle cavity of Planorbidae from lentic environments in a Buenos Aires province, Argentina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Biomphalaria peregrina (D’Orbigny, 1835) and Drepanotrema kermatoides (D’Orbigny, 1835) were first reported as hosts of Helobdella hyalina Ringuelet, 1942. Both are important species from the Río de La Plata river basin in Argentina.
