Abstract The New Zealand mud snail (Potamopyrgus antipodarum; NZMS) is among the
most globally widespread aquatic invaders, occurring in 39 countries and 5 continents …

The impacts of biological invasions remain poorly known for some habitats, regions and
taxa. To date, there has been no comprehensive effort to review and synthesize the impacts …

The movement of species is among the most serious environmental threats of the new
millennium, as the transplantation of species beyond their native or historical range has …

The processes that lead to a successful invasion are complex. Here, we investigated life
history characteristics potentially explaining the invasion success of Potamopyrgus …

Relative to the numerous studies focused on mammalian schistosomes, fewer include avian
schistosomatids particularly in the southern hemisphere. This is changing and current …

Global changes in climate and human impact favour invasions of aquatic organisms. Along
with habitat modification, the abundance of invasive species might increase, leading to their …

Invasive freshwater species, such as the exotic mollusc Potamopyrgus antipodarum (New
Zealand mudsnail), can frequently survive under harsh conditions, including brackish and …

Springs are unique aquatic environments that support specific biota, including endemic
species and rare species listed in Red Lists. Due to their usually small size, springs are …

The species of the genus Potamolithus inhabiting the southwestern basin of the Andes are
difficult to distinguish due to small size and similar shell morphology. Only Potamolithus …
