This work tested for evolutionary changes in shell albedo that might have been driven by the warming of the climate in Europe over the last half century by compiling an historical dataset for 6,515 native populations of C. nemoralis and comparing this with new data on nearly 3,000 populations.

The phylogenetic analyses based on 12S, 16S and COI sequences show that the T. hispidus complex is paraphyletic with respect to several other morphologically well‐defined Trochulus species, but the results of a parallel morphometric investigation did not reveal any differentiation between these clades, although the overall variability is quite high.

The morphology and ecology of representatives of the taxonomically ambiguous genus Trochulus, which comprises several genetically highly divergent mitochondrial clades, is investigated and it is suggested that its subspecies spent at least the last glaciation in or close to the presently inhabited areas.

Cercarial dermatitis is a worldwide occurring skin disease characterized by itching and skin papulation caused by cercariae of the fluke family Schistosomatidae.

28 specimens of 5 species of amphibians from different localities in Northern Greece were investigated regarding their endoparasitic helminths.
First report of the parasitic copepod Lernaea cyprinacea (Copepoda: Lernaeidae) on gobioid fishes (Teleostei: Gobonellidae) in southern Europe

Although both gobioid fishes as hosts of L. cyprinacea are not optimal hosts, they have the potential to carry and to transmit the parasite in freshwater habitats, e.g. by unintentional introduction with fry of other fish species.

Assessment of introduction pathways and dispersal, continuous monitoring of host abundance and distribution and the prevalence of flukes in intermediate and final hosts, as well as coordinated and concerted actions with neighbouring countries are recommended.
