Assessing the Relationship Between Macroinvertebrate Metrics and Fine Sediment Index for Ecological Biomonitoring in the Little Akaki River, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. [PDF]
Ecol EvolHabitat quality had a positive correlation with percentage of Ephemeroptera, percentage of EOT, and Shannon diversity index (r = 0.833, r = 0.880, and r = 0.939, respectively). PSI had positive correlation with number of taxa, and ASPT‐ETHbios (r = 0.819, and r = 0.798, respectively). Most sites were heavily sedimented.

Statistical discrimination of sex inMelanoides tuberculata(Gastropoda: Thiaridae) [PDF]
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1996 Abstract Systematists may rely on morphometric differences among samples of specimens for the recognition of living and fossil species, even though morphometric differentiation may be caused by non-genetic factors, such as ecophenotypy, differential growth rates and taphonomic mixing.

Multiple invasions and predation: The impact of the crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus on invasive and native snails. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated predator–prey interactions involving Thiarid snails that invaded Martinique several decades ago and the recently introduced predator, the redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus), unveiling several critical insights: (1) Crayfish predation impact on snail survival: Our experiments indicate snail survival rates ranging from 50% to 80 ...
