Gastropod molluscs of the superfamily Neritacea (or order Neritacea: see Morton & Yonge, 1964) are found in marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments; but despite these wide differences in habitat the general anatomical organization is similar in all the members of the group. In particular the organization of the renal system appears to be very similar in marine and freshwater species, an...

Abstract Intertidal rock pools support diverse assemblages. While there is much research on the importance of in supporting mobile diversity rocky shores, limited knowledge regarding role physical features (microhabitats) within these habitats. Understanding that crucial to conserve and potentially mimic important intertidal habitats restoration projects. Here, we classified quantified types fe...

Mangroves have an important role in mitigation and a significant contribution to the wealth of macrofauna. The success mangrove management has significantly affected diversity macrofauna which are associated biota. research objectives were investigate composition mangroves mollusc communities, ecological conditions waters, evidence ecosystem services mitigation. data sources faunal, ecological,...

Bensthic communities along the coastal basins are an indication of ecosystem health but highly susceptible owing to manmade activities. This study envisages thermal tolerance in sea snails Monodonta canalifera , Nerita albicilla and Tylothais savignyi inhabiting around outfall intake structures Karachi Nuclear Power Plant (KANUPP). To test adaptability vulnerability, a lethality protocol under ...
