Susceptibility of lymnaeid snails to Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica (Digenea: Fasciolidae): a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
PeerJBackground Fasciolosis is a food-borne disease that causes major economic losses, globally. This zoonotic disease is caused by Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica species which employ freshwater snails from the family Lymnaeidae as their ...

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2015 Snails of the family Lymnaeidae, as Pseudosuccinea columella, are the intermediate hosts of Fasciola hepatica, the causative agent of fasciolosis in human and livestock all over the world. A thorough knowledge of snail biology is essential for describing

The role of refuges in biological invasions: A systematic review
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 8, Page 1244-1271, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Ecological refuges buffer organisms against stressors and mediate a range of species interactions. However, their role in the context of biological invasions has yet to be synthesized, despite the increasing prevalence and impact of non‐native species.

Niche filtering, competition and species turnover in a metacommunity of freshwater molluscs
Oikos, Volume 2022, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022 Metacommunity structure reflects the interplay of various processes, including niche filtering, extinction/colonization and interspecific interactions. Spatial patterns of species distributions are often analyzed to infer these processes. However, such inferences rely on often unrealistic equilibrium assumptions, and remain ambiguous, as different ...

Stable isotope mixing models demonstrate the role of an invasive plant in wetland songbird food webs
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 10, Issue 4, July-August 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise Invasive plants in wetlands are often ecosystem engineers, mediating changes in ecosystem functions like trophic support. We documented the impacts of Lepidium latifolium, an invasive plant, on the food web of omnivorous birds (Suisun song sparrows, Melospiza melodia maxillaris) in a tidal wetland of northern California, USA.

The immunobiological interplay between Pseudosuccinea columella resistant/susceptible snails with Fasciola hepatica: Hemocytes in the spotlight [PDF]
Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2020 The Fasciola hepatica/Pseudosuccinea columella interaction in Cuba involves a unique pattern of phenotypes; while most snails are susceptible, some field populations are naturally resistant to infection and parasites are encapsulated by snail hemocytes. Thus, we investigated the hemocytes of resistant (R) and susceptible (S) P. columella, in particular

The effect of mating on female reproduction across hermaphroditic freshwater snails
Invertebrate Biology, Volume 139, Issue 1, March 2020., 2020 Abstract Sexual conflicts often arise between mating partners because each sex tries to maximize its own reproductive success. One major male strategy to influence a partner's resource allocation is the transfer of accessory gland proteins. This has been shown to occur in simultaneous hermaphrodites as well as in organisms with separate sexes. Although
