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

open access: yesAfrican 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.

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.

Fish predation cues induce drifting and emergence in an experimental stream mesocosm system

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S364-S376, December 2025.
Abstract Predator–prey interactions are important drivers of adaptation in aquatic communities, shaping the behavior of invertebrates with cascading effects on community dynamics. Behavioral responses, such as moving with the downstream current (drift) or altering the timing of emergence, are strategies that reduce the risk of predator encounters ...

The Nature of Oceanic Dispersal in the Diversification Process on Insular Systems in Asia

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim To clarify the characteristics and contribution of oceanic dispersal (OD), a representative of long‐distance dispersal, to phylogenetic diversification on insular systems. Location Eastern Eurasia. Time Period Post‐Neogene. Major Taxa Studied Freshwater snails of the genus Gyraulus (Mollusca: Gastropoda). Methods We conducted comprehensive

Estimating Species Distributions of Sphaeriid Clams in the Western United States: Implications for Conservation

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Species distributions are structured by dispersal potential and responses to vicariance events. Populations of less‐vagile species can become spatially isolated in insularised habitats leading to allopatric speciation. In heavily fragmented aquatic systems, such species often contribute to high rates of endemism. Sphaeriid clams are a globally

South American Great Basin: Limnogeological analysis of the Salina del Bebedero Basin, Argentina (Late Pleistocene‐recent)

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 739-763, April 2025.
. The Bebedero tectonic depression in San Luis province, Argentina, is a closed drainage basin that has formed as a result of block‐faulting and rifting processes. The Bebedero lake exhibits notable similarities to the endorheic watersheds of the western United States, particularly those of Death Valley, the Saline Valley and, to a lesser extent, the ...

Going to the archives: Combining palaeoecological and contemporary data to support river restoration appraisals

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 23-36, January 2025.
Abstract River restoration practices are being increasingly implemented to help offset the global degradation of freshwater ecosystems. The ecological success of such projects is typically determined via post‐project appraisals comparing restored conditions against specified baselines (e.g., pre‐project and/or non‐restored data), but such approaches ...
