Mechanisms creating community structure across a freshwater habitat gradient
TL;DR: Lentic freshwater habitats in temperate regions exist along a gradient from small ephemeral ponds to large permanent lakes, and fitness tradeoffs associated with a few critical traits of individuals often form the basis for species turnover along the gradient.

Effects of an omnivorous crayfish (Orconectes rusticus) on a freshwater littoral food web
TL;DR: Results support the existence of strong trophic interactions in the littoral zone, in which omnivorous crayfish control abundance of macrophytes, snails, and periphyton.

Community Regulation: Under What Conditions Are Bottom-Up Factors Important on Rocky Shores?
TL;DR: In this paper, the bottom-up processes can underlie variations in community structure that can have important consequences for the influence of top-down factors (e.g., trophic interactions) or bottom-down effects control communities.

Climate change effects on trematodiases, with emphasis on zoonotic fascioliasis and schistosomiasis.
TL;DR: The present review shows that trematodes, similarly as other helminths presenting larval stages living freely in the environment and/or larval Stage parasitic in invertebrates easily affected by climate change as arthropods and molluscs as intermediate hosts, may be largely more susceptible to climate change impact than those helminthiases in whose life cycle such phases are absent or reduced to a minimum.

Effects of Alien Species on Freshwater Mollusks in North America
TL;DR: Because of ineffective control of aliens in North America, they may be an increasingly important factor in molluscan distribution as new species arrive from other continents and established species spread throughout the continent.
