“…The artesian spring hydrobiid fauna is unlike that found in other aquatic systems (Perez et al 2005) and attests to the uniqueness and prolonged existence of these habitats. Comparisons with most other aquatic habitats and invertebrate groups are difficult, either because they are insufficiently collected at a continental scale or because they are largely represented by widely distributed, readily dispersed species.…”

“…Hydrobiids have undergone extensive radiations in streams and rivers in SE Australia and Tasmania (e.g., Ponder et al 1993;Clark et al 2003) but in the arid zone are nearly all confined to artesian springs. Here they have undergone extensive diversification within five genera (three endemic to these springs) (Ponder et al 1989(Ponder et al , 1996Ponder and Clark 1990;Ponder 2004b;Perez et al 2005). An exception is a species of Austropyrgus Cotton, 1942 that lives in springs fed from local ground water in the Flinders Ranges and is otherwise widespread in SE Australia with many taxa (Clark et al 2003 Smith et al 2002), one of which is found in northern Australia and the other through the eastern half of the mainland.…”

“…The radiation of hydrobiid gastropods in these springs comprises about 35 species-group taxa (several undescribed and a few in non-arid-zone springs) and has been rather well studied (Colgan and Ponder 1994, 2001Ponder 1995Ponder , 2004bPonder et al 1989Ponder et al , 1996Ponder and Clark 1990;Perez et al 2005). Molecular studies have shown that hydrobiids have undergone monophyletic radiations in each of the major spring complexes in which they occur (Perez et al 2005).…”

A few hydrobiids related to those in the Queensland artesian springs have recently been found in springs just off the GAB (WFP and CS, pers.…”

Important freshwater systems found in arid areas range from springs to waterholes and rivers�� Periods of extreme aridity in the Pleistocene, especially during the last glacial period, resulted in the drying of most freshwater systems apart from a few permanent water holes and artesian springs�� The present composition of the freshwater molluscan fauna reflects this history and is a mix of recent recolonisers and relictual taxa�� A database of 5,047 records of freshwater molluscs was compiled from museum records for continental Australia and interrogated for the purposes of examining distributional trends for inland arid and semi-arid Australia�� Endemism and species richness were examined at species, genus and family level�� Of the 125 species-group taxa included in the analysis, 42 (33�� 6%) are narrow-range endemics (occupying three or fewer 10 km 2 grid squares�� Of these endemics, 33 (78�� 6% of the narrow range endemics and 26�� 4% of the remaining taxa are found only in artesian springs associated with the Great Artesian Basin�� In addition to molluscs, these springs contain many other indigenous aquatic invertebrates and fishes and several rare or indigenous plants�� A few large permanent waterholes also contain endemic taxa�� Most molluscs found in intermittent waters adopt strategies to avoid desiccation or to facilitate dispersal and are generally widely distributed�� The presence of molluscan and other (fishes, turtles) endemics in some large arid zone waterholes suggests that those habitats may have persisted through the last glacial�� The continued existence of many of these habitats, and thus their inhabitants, is under threat from human activities relating to water use and modification of habitats��

“…In our analyses we used molecular markers frequently applied for taxonomic or phylogenetic studies, i.e. sequences of mitochondrial 3'COI (loaiza et al 2013, zeineDDine et al 2014) and 5'COI (RemiGio & hebeRt 2003, runDell et al 2004, Perez et al 2005, kane et al 2008, Falniowski et al 2009, Falniowski & szaRowska 2011, szaRowska et al 2013 gene fragments as well as nuclear ITS2 fragment of rDNA gene (baRGues & mas-coma 2005, källeRsJö et al 2005, Puslednik et al 2009, baRGues et al 2012, loaiza et al 2013). The nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial 5'COI gene ("barcode sequence") differentiate between the above three lymnaeids at the level of 14.0-20.8%.…”

Analyses of nucleotide sequences of 5'-and 3'-ends of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (5'COI, 3'COI) and fragments of internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) of nuclear rDNA gene confirmed the status of Stagnicola corvus (Gmelin), Lymnaea stagnalis L. and Ladislavella terebra (Westerlund) as separate species. The same results showed that Stagnicola palustris (O. F. Müll.) and S. turricula (Held) could also be treated as separate species, but compared to the aforementioned lymnaeids, the differences in the analysed sequences between them were much smaller, although clearly recognisable. In each case they were also larger than the differences between these molecular features of specimens from different localities of S. palustris or S. turricula. New data on the distribution of S. palustris and S. turricula in Poland showed -in contrast to the earlier reports -that their ranges overlapped. This sympatric distribution together with the small but clearly marked differences in molecular features as well as with differences in the male genitalia between S. palustris and S. turricula strongly support the view that they are separate species and not two subspecies within S. palustris.

1. Freshwater gastropods are a major component of aquatic communities in arid regions. The isolation of aquatic habitats and poor dispersal abilities of organisms has resulted in the evolution of endemic species with small ranges. Human demands for water threaten the integrity of desert spring systems and as a result many freshwater snails from these regions are of conservation concern.2. One widespread lymnaeid species in North America, Stagnicola caperata (Say, 1829), exhibits distinct shell morphologies among populations in the south-west United States. Because S.caperata is listed as endangered by the State of New Mexico owing to degradation of wetland habitats, accurate taxonomic assessment among populations is required in order to understand threats to the survival of this taxon. A holistic approach (morphometrics, phylogenetics, and reproductive anatomy) was used to investigate the taxonomic affinities of S. caperata in the south-west United States by comparing these populations with topotypes. 3. Morphometric analyses revealed similar levels of variation among populations, with large overlaps in shell morphologies. Both phylogenetic analysis and reproductive anatomy revealed the presence of two Stagnicola species in these populations: all populations except the Big Costilla Peak (BCP) population were referable to the nomen S. caperata, while BCP was Stagnicola cf. elodes. 4.A total-evidence approach that combines genetic and morphological data facilitates assessment of taxonomic affinities. The results provide conservation agencies with information necessary to detect species boundaries and then develop effective conservation and recovery plans for imperilled species.
