Data-source complementarity in documenting non-native terrestrial molluscs in a seasonally dry tropical region

Abstract Reliable, georeferenced occurrence data are essential for documenting non-native species, yet scientific collections may under-represent taxa associated with human-modified environments. This limitation is relevant for terrestrial molluscs in the Caatinga Dominion, a sea...

Macroecological invisibility in apple snails (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae): uneven occurrence and molecular coverage across public repositories

Abstract Apple snails (Ampullariidae) are freshwater gastropods of ecological and economic importance, but their digital representation remains uneven across taxa, regions and data types. Using a 171-species taxonomic reference, we integrated global occurrence and molecular data...
