Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are ubiquitous emerging pollutants in
the environment. Although MPs/NPs' hazardous effects have been described at different …

Non‐native freshwater snails can play important roles as consumers, hosts, and prey.
Despite their potential ecological importance, global patterns in non‐native snail taxonomy …

Aim The introduction of aquatic non‐indigenous species (ANS) has become a major driver
for global changes in species biogeography. We examined spatial patterns and temporal …

With the biodiversity crisis continuing unchecked, we need to establish levels and drivers of
extinction risk, and reassessments over time, to effectively allocate conservation resources …

Although terrestrial gastropods are remarkably diverse, our knowledge of them is still
lacking, especially for species from the Global South. As such, new tools to help researchers …

An ample variety of parasitic associations are found between mollusks and nematodes, in
which the mollusks may act as intermediate, paratenic or definitive hosts. Some free-living …

We present the first inventory and status assessment of the alien flora of Oman, mainly
based on field data collected from 1998 to 2021. The study provides (i) a comprehensive …

Biological invasions and climate change are important drivers of biodiversity loss. In
freshwater ecosystems, golden and zebra mussels are two highly aggressive invasive …

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 objective of this study is to understand how the taxonomic and functional structures of
benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages respond to variations in the densities of Corbicula …
