This study compares acceptance rates and outcomes of solicited preprints versus traditional submissions in Proceedings B, finding higher acceptance rates and visibility for solicited preprints.

The paper examines how genetic variation within a snail species affects immune responses to heat stress, finding trait-specific and genotype-dependent immune suppression under heatwave conditions.

The paper quantifies elemental composition in different tissues of polyploid snails and finds ploidy affects multielemental allocation, with stronger effects in mineralized tissues.

The paper presents the first genome assembly of Potamopyrgus antipodarum, revealing a recent whole-genome duplication and its potential role in asexuality transitions.

The paper measures nuclear genome size variation in Potamopyrgus antipodarum, finding higher genome content in sexual individuals and evidence for a recent whole-genome duplication.

This study examines the effects of dimethyl phthalate exposure on male freshwater snails, finding reduced mating frequency and altered sperm morphology at high concentrations.

The paper identifies population-specific genomic responses to coevolving parasites in the freshwater snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum using gene expression and sequence evolution analyses.

The paper provides annotated transcriptomes of Microphallus trematodes from two New Zealand snail species and identifies candidate genes related to parasitism and salinity stress.
