Habitat Structure Shapes Mollusc Assemblages in an Urban Semiarid River: Implications for Conservation and Public Health

Aquatic 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.

Macroinvertebrate Richness Importance in Coastal Tropical Streams of Esmeraldas (Ecuador) and Its Use and Implications in Environmental Management Procedures

International Journal of Ecology, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
This study was aimed at determining the performance of some indices and community attributes frequently used to assess river quality and test the role of macroinvertebrate taxa richness as element of bioindication in several coastal tropical streams of western Esmeraldas (Ecuador). In addition, a macroinvertebrate taxon list of this region was provided

Distribution and diversity of benthic macroinvertebrates in the Mohlapitsi River, South Africa

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2022
Freshwater ecosystems are facing degradation from human activities in the form of alterations of flow regimes, changes in land-use, and intensive water abstraction, in turn generating adverse effects on biodiversity and ecological functionality ...

Declines in Freshwater Mussels and Loss of Mussel–Invertebrate Interactions in the Subtropical Waterbodies of Dhaka, Bangladesh

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Freshwater mussels are a globally threatened taxon, but little is known about population trajectories for species outside Europe and North America. To contribute to understanding of mussel conservation status outside these regions, we surveyed mussel and other invertebrate populations in waterbodies across Dhaka, Bangladesh, to assess ...

Analisis Filogeni Thiaridae (Mollusca: Gastropoda) Papua Menggunakan Karakter Morfologi

JURNAL BIOLOGI PAPUA, 2018
The characteristics  morphology and variations of shell can be used to reconstruct the sequence and phylogenetic of Thiaridae. 34 characters and 2 outgroups of Bellamya sp. from Papua and Sulawesi were used to observe 27 species Thiaridae. Phylogenetic Analysis Using Parsimony (PAUP Software Version 4.0., Swofford) and the neighbour joining ...

The fossil record of freshwater Gastropoda – a global review

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 1, Page 177-199, February 2024.
ABSTRACT Gastropoda are an exceptionally successful group with a rich and diverse fossil record. They have conquered land and freshwater habitats multiple times independently and have dispersed across the entire globe. Since they are important constituents of fossil assemblages, they are often used for palaeoecological reconstruction, biostratigraphic ...

Trematodes obtained from the thiarid freshwater snail Melanoides tuberculata (Müller, 1774) as vector of human infections in Thailand

Zoosystematics and Evolution, 2014
Larval stages of trematodes obtained from the freshwater snail Melanoides tuberculata (Cerithioidea, Thiaridae) as intermediate host were studied by using cercarial emergence and crushing snails.
