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

Molluscs are among the most ancient, diverse, and important of all animal taxa. Even so, no
individual mollusc species has emerged as a broadly applied model system in biology. We …

Resident microbes (microbiota) can shape host organismal function and adaptation in the
face of environmental change. Invasion of new habitats exposes hosts to novel selection …

Climate change may force organisms to adapt genetically or plastically to new
environmental conditions. Invasive species show remarkable potential for rapid adaptation …

Early detection of invasive species allows for a more rapid and effective response.
Restoration of the native ecosystem after an invasive population has established is …

Anthropogenic biological invasions represent major concerns but enable us to investigate
rapid evolutionary changes and adaptation to novel environments. The goldfish Carassius …

A growing body of research suggests that many clonal populations maintain genetic
diversity even without occasional sexual reproduction. The purpose of our study was to …

Understanding how and why some species or lineages become invasive is critically
important for effectively predicting and mitigating biological invasions. Here, we address an …

Potamopyrgus antipodarum is a New Zealand freshwater snail that is invasive worldwide.
While native P. antipodarum populations are characterized by frequent coexistence between …

Traits in species that influence invasion success may vary in populations across its invaded
range. The aquatic New Zealand mud snail, Potamopyrgus antipodarum, reproduces …
