Abstract Lake Menjer is one of the crater lakes located in highland Central Java, Indonesia, which has received multiple stressors from anthropogenic activities. Benthic macroinvertebrates as a key indicator for water quality were little known there.

This article aims to reconstruct the invasion of ear-shaped pond snail, Radix auricularia (Linnaeus, 1758), Lake Baikal, East Siberia. species is widely distributed in Palaearctic and Northern America, since early 20th century has formed abundant sustained populations Baikal. The data provided on morphological genetic variability R. help better describe delineate species. With an integrative ap...

The effect of sub-lethal feeding of bait formulations containing molluscicidal component of Ferula asafoetida (ferulic acid, umbelliferone), Syzygium aromaticum (eugenol) and Carum carvi (limonene) on biochemical changes in the ovotestis of snail Lymnaea acuminata were studied. Bait formulations feeding to L. acuminata were studied in clear glass aquaria having diameter of 30 cm. Baits were pre...
