. Potamopyrgus antipodarum is an invasive freshwater mollusc in Europe introduced from Australasia in the late 19th century and now commonly distributed throughout the continent. It has frequently been used as a model species for a range of ecological disciplines, and recently has been increasingly utilised for ecotoxicological work, particularly the impact of endocrine disrupting chemicals. However,...
The effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC) on molluscs in both marine and freshwater polluted environments are a continuing area of concern resulting in many field and laboratory studies. However, molluscs are commonly infected with trematode parasites which, in order to obtain sufficient nutrients for their own development, naturally disrupt the functioning of the endocrine system of the...
A long-term study of a molluscan–trematode community in the Basingstoke Canal, UK, was undertaken over the period 1970–2003 which coincided with a significant restoration program involving substantial anthropogenic changes to the canal’s ecosystem. The aim of this study was to correlate these changes with alterations in the molluscan–trematode community, focusing on fluctuations in the prevalence...
