Treubia, 2018 The freshwater gastropod Tarebia H. Adams & A. Adams, 1854, are found in rivers, lakes, and other limnetic habitats. In Indonesia, Tarebia granifera (Lamarck, 1822) is the only species within the genus that has a wide distribution. The systematics and identity of this species are still doubtful due to high variation in shell morphology, especially ...

Cercarial fauna of freshwater snails in selected agricultural areas in Laguna, Philippines [PDF]
Helminthologia, 2019 Freshwater snails serve as one of trematodes’ intermediate hosts. Previous studies on trematode larval stages in the Philippines have largely focused on species with public health importance.

Chemical cues released by an alien invasive aquatic gastropod drive its invasion success. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Chemical cues provide aquatic organisms with sensory information that guides behavioural responses and thus interactions among themselves, each other and the environment. Chemical cues are considered important for predator avoidance, foraging,

The role of gastropods in African swine fever virus ecology [PDF]
Virology JournalThe spread of the African swine fever virus (ASF virus) genotype ii in the Eurasian region has been very successful and often inexplicable. The virus spreads rapidly and persists in areas with wild boar populations, but areas without feral pig ...

Three reasons why expanded use of natural enemy solutions may offer sustainable control of human infections. [PDF]
People Nat (Hoboken), 2022 Abstract Many infectious pathogens spend a significant portion of their life cycles in the environment or in animal hosts, where ecological interactions with natural enemies may influence pathogen transmission to people. Yet, our understanding of natural enemy opportunities for human disease control is lacking, despite widespread uptake and success of ...

Effects of river regulation on aquatic invertebrate community composition: A comparative analysis in two southern African rivers. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study compared aquatic invertebrate communities between a regulated and unregulated river and sought to determine whether the largest inland lake of the region, which receives water from both rivers, resembles the aquatic invertebrate communities of either river.

Population structure of an invasive parthenogenetic gastropod in coastal lakes and estuaries of northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundEstuaries and coastal lakes receive little attention despite being heavily invaded by non-indigenous invasive species (NIS). In these situations, studies of population dynamics in invaded habitats can provide valuable insights into how NIS ...

A Method for Conveying Confidence in iNaturalist Observations: A Case Study Using Non-Native Marine Species. [PDF]
Ecol EvolData quality, reliability and accuracy have long been recognised as barriers to unlocking the full potential of citizen science derived data. This study developed a score to assign confidence in iNaturalist observations and streamline the verification process.

A review of the reported and future potential ecological impacts of the invasive freshwater snail Tarebia granifera in South Africa. [PDF]
African Journal of Aquatic ScienceThe Southeast Asian gastropod Tarebia granifera is an invasive freshwater snail across several continents. Our review summarises the impacts of this invasive snail on invaded aquatic ecosystems. The most important impacts are those related to their ability to reproduce quickly and reach high densities within invaded ecosystems.

Gastropods alien to South Africa cause severe environmental harm in their global alien ranges across habitats. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2018 This study assesses global impacts of alien gastropods using two novel impact scoring schemes to compare impact severity between species, as well as environmental and socioeconomic impacts, and to understand how impacts relate to habitats, impact mechanisms, and life‐history traits.
