The aim of this paper is to describe and analyse the present Swedish fauna freshwater snails, based on material in museum collections, literature, records conservation reports databases. comprises 50 species (42 indigenous 8 introduced). Moreover, 31 out belong superorder Hygrophila. species’ zoogeography, ecology status are highlighted. distributions can roughly be classified according four different geographical groups patterns. 23 have their northern limit within or close limes norrlandicus, an important biogeographical transition zone Central Sweden. history exploration groups/species with taxonomical/determination problems discussed. six species, which National Red List, discussed detail. Main threats include exploitation rivers changing insolation small water bodies due vegetation alteration, eutrophication drainage. threat national list general European compared show a high degree agreement.

Returners and New Arrivals After the Crash: Intermediate Hosts and Global Invaders Dominate Gastropod Fauna of Lake Naivasha, Kenya

Diversity, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(4), P. 265 - 265

Published: April 9, 2025

Aquatic alien species (AAS) have had a major impact on freshwater ecosystems, including Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Here, the ecosystem has undergone tremendous changes and multiple introductions over past 100 years, molluscs experienced decline diversity. The East African Rift Lakes steady rise lake levels since 2010. We investigated of recent lakes’ by determining current mollusc diversity its composition. also reconstruct history faunal change turnover last years discuss future implications One Health context. combined effects rising water crayfish Procambarus clarkii are likely to be responsible for resurgence Naivasha’s fauna. fauna consists three global invaders American origin, one which is new Africa (Pseudosuccinea columella) another only recently begun spread (Pomacea canaliculata). A further native Africa, two known from historical records, while (Bulinus forskalii). All public health (Biomphalaria sudanica) veterinary tropicus, Bulinus forskalii) concern. biodiversity reached same level as times, but composition remarkably different.
