Article
Small lakes and ponds in karstic systems have received little attention in terms of mollusc research. Although these systems represent a refuge for lentic biota in most of the Mediterranean, there are virtually no ecological studies from many regions, including Albania. Therefore, we quantitatively studied mollusc assemblages at 58 sampling sites w...
Article
The number of non-native species has dramatically increased over the last decades in many aquatic habitats of central Europe. Although the spreading of alien mollusc species can poses a serious threat to many native species, no attempt has been made to assemble and analyse an extensive dataset collected over a long time span. So far, eight non-nati...

Freshwater mollusc diversity has repeatedly been found to peak in lowland stagnant waters, which are highly exposed to human-made degradation and the spread of non-native species. Despite the increasing loss of these habitats, little is known about the main predictors of their mollusc diversity patterns. Therefore, we aimed to determine the environ...

We analyse the diversity of aquatic molluscs of the river Orava in north-western Slovakia. The river Orava has been part of the protected area “Rieka Orava” since 1997 and included in NATURA 2000 as a Site of Community Importance since 2004. Although the malacofauna of the Orava reservoir had previously been partially investigated, the river itself...

This paper presents important faunistic records conducted in the Czech and Slovak Republics during 2023. We also include records generated before 2023, which have yet to be published, mainly because their correct identification was unavailable earlier. In a separate section we present records of unintentionally introduced species, reported for the...

This paper presents important faunistic records obtained from the territory of the Czech and Slovak Republics in 2022. Two new non-native species, Lauria cylindracea and Mieniplotia scabra, were recorded indoors, and also two new non-native species Cochlicella acuta and Testacella haliotidea were found outdoors in the Czech Republic. New occurrence...

Invasion of alien species is one of the major environmental problems in the globalised world. Therefore, identifying pathways for the introduction and spread of alien species can help to mitigate their impact on invaded ecosystems. This study focused on the freshwater snail Gyraulus chinensis, which invades Europe from eastern Eurasia, where it is...

During a detailed faunistic survey of the river Turiec in northern Slovakia in 2013–2022, we found 18 species of aquatic molluscs (8 gastropods and 10 bivalves) at 9 sites. The most species-rich assemblages were in the middle course of this river. The surprisingly low species richness in the lower course could be due to the heavily altered riverbed...

Species distribution and assemblage structuring are influenced by a combination of species dispersal mode and the dispersal routes used. Habitat connectivity is particularly important for passively dispersing taxa such as freshwater molluscs. In addition, current anthropogenic eutrophication affects the structure of assemblages by reducing native f...

Biological invasions are common among freshwater molluscs, with the North American planorbid gastropod Gyraulus parvus being reported from Europe (Germany) by the 1970s. It has since spread across Central and Western Europe, mostly living in artificial and highly modified habitats. However, considerable conchological and anatomical similarity exist...

Ve volné přírodě České republiky bylo doposud zaznamenáno osm druhů nepůvodních vodních měkkýšů. Jedná se o tři mlže: Corbicula fluminea (korbikula asijská), Dreissena polymorpha (slávička mnohotvárná), Sinanodonta woodiana (škeblice asijská) a pět druhů plžů: Ferrissia fragilis (člunka pravohrotá), Gyraulus parvus (kružník malý), Menetus dilatatus...
