Achatina fulica (Gastropoda: Pulmonata): Occurrence, environmental aspects and presence of nematodes in Sergipe, Brazil.

Brazilian journal of biology = Revista brasleira de biologia, 2020
The objective of this study was to identify the occurrence of Achatina fulica in the Great Aracaju-SE Territory. This research was developed during the months of June 2016 to May 2017. The plots methodology was used for the monthly collections, following

100 years of Haldane's rule

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 337-346, February 2023., 2023
Haldane's rule: when hybrids from one sex are absent, rare or sterile, that sex is always the heterogametic sex. Abstract Haldane's rule is one of the ‘two rules of speciation’. It states that if one sex is ‘absent, rare or sterile’ in a hybrid population, then that sex will be heterogametic.

Four records of new to Egypt gastropod species including the first reported Tropical Leatherleaf slug Laevicaulis alte (d’A. de Férussac, 1822) (Pulmonata: Veronicellidae)

Zoology and ecology, 2020
A survey of terrestrial mollusks was performed during their activity season in various spots of gardens, nurseries and agricultural fields in Cairo, Giza as well as in some neighboring areas between December 2014 and October 2018.

Early land plants: Plentiful but neglected nutritional resources for herbivores?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
In this paper, we explore the unknown reason(s) why herbivores rarely seem to attack early land plants like mosses and ferns. Our study, in which we looked at the performance of an arthropod and a gastropod on 15 species of such plants, yields surprising results that disqualify some of the common notions about early land plants.

Systematic revision of the genus Peronia Fleming, 1822 (Gastropoda, Euthyneura, Pulmonata, Onchidiidae)

ZooKeys, 2020
The genus Peronia Fleming, 1822 includes all the onchidiid slugs with dorsal gills. Its taxonomy is revised for the first time based on a large collection of fresh material from the entire Indo-West Pacific, from South Africa to Hawaii.

Extinction risk is linked to lifestyle in freshwater gastropods

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 12, Page 2357-2368, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Aim Freshwater ecosystems and their biota are severely endangered by global change today, and predicted extinction levels are skyrocketing for many taxa. Most studies have focused on entire clades, while approaches testing for selective extinction risk with respect to ecological traits are rare. As studies are typically based on modern faunas,

Seasonal turnover in community composition of stream‐associated macroinvertebrates inferred from freshwater environmental DNA metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 861-876, July 2021., 2021
Macroinvertebrate communities are crucial for biodiversity monitoring and assessment of ecological status in stream ecosystems. Here, we use environmental DNA metabarcoding of filtered water samples collected in both spring and autumn from five streams in Denmark to address seasonal turnover in community composition of stream macroinvertebrates.

Trophic structure of a pond community dominated by an invasive alien species: Insights from stomach content and stable isotope analyses

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 948-963, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Invaders affect native species across multiple trophic levels, influencing the structure and stability of freshwater communities. Based on the ‘trophic position hypothesis’, invaders at the top of the food web are more harmful to native species via direct and indirect effects than trophically analogous native predators are. However, introduced
