The fossil record of freshwater Gastropoda - a global review
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2023 Sep 12. doi: 10.1111/brv.13016. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGastropoda are an exceptionally successful group with a rich and diverse fossil record. They have conquered land and freshwater habitats multiple times independently and have dispersed across the entire globe. Since they are important constituents of fossil assemblages, they are often used for palaeoecological reconstruction, biostratigraphic correlations, and as model groups to study morphological and taxonomic evolution. While marine faunas and their evolution have been a common subject of study, the freshwater component of the f...

Defence against the intergenerational cost of reproduction in males: oxidative shielding of the germline
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2023 Sep 12. doi: 10.1111/brv.13012. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTReproduction is expected to carry an oxidative cost, yet in many species breeders appear to sustain lower levels of oxidative damage compared to non-breeders. This paradox may be explained by considering the intergenerational costs of reproduction. Specifically, a reduction in oxidative damage upon transitioning to a reproductive state may represent a pre-emptive shielding strategy to protect the next generation from intergenerational oxidative damage (IOD) - known as the oxidative shielding hypothesis. Males may be particularly li...

A broad-taxa approach as an important concept in ecotoxicological studies and pollution monitoring
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2023 Sep 12. doi: 10.1111/brv.13015. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAquatic invertebrates play a pivotal role in (eco)toxicological assessments because they offer ethical, cost-effective and repeatable testing options. Additionally, their significance in the food chain and their ability to represent diverse aquatic ecosystems make them valuable subjects for (eco)toxicological studies. To ensure consistency and comparability across studies, international (eco)toxicology guidelines have been used to establish standardised methods and protocols for data collection, analysis and interpretation. However...
