“…Also, the poor preservation of shells in the many North American freshwater systems limits the actual known diversity 74 , 75 . The difference between North American and European freshwater faunas raises the interesting question whether the absence of long-lived lakes in North America could have depressed both speciation and extinction rates relative to the pattern in Europe, where the origin and demise of large ancient lakes greatly increased speciation and extinction 33 , 76 , 77 .…”

What controls species diversity and diversification is one of the major questions in evolutionary biology and paleontology. Previous studies have addressed this issue based on various plant and animal groups, geographic regions, and time intervals. However, as most previous research focused on terrestrial or marine ecosystems, our understanding of the controls on diversification of biota (and particularly invertebrates) in freshwater environments in deep time is still limited. Here, we infer diversification rates of North American freshwater gastropods from the Late Triassic to the Pleistocene and explore potential links between shifts in speciation and extinction and major changes in paleogeography, climate, and biotic interactions. We found that variation in the speciation rate is best explained by changes in continental fragmentation, with rate shifts coinciding with major paleogeographic reorganizations in the Mesozoic, in particular the retreat of the Sundance Sea and subsequent development of the Bighorn wetland and the advance of the Western Interior Seaway. Climatic events in the Cenozoic (Middle Eocene Climate Optimum, Miocene Climate Optimum) variably coincide with shifts in speciation and extinction as well, but no significant long-term association could be detected. Similarly, no influence of diversity dependence was found across the entire time frame of ~ 214 Myr. Our results indicate that short-term climatic events and paleogeographic changes are relevant to the diversification of continental freshwater biota, while long-term trends have limited effect.

“…Species diversity remained low during the Jurassic, but several new groups evolved (Figs 2 and 4). The Early Jurassic saw the (putative) first occurrences of Lymnaeidae (USA), Bithyniidae (China), Neritidae (China), and Pachychilidae (Germany, China) (Pan, 1977(Pan, , 1982Salvador & Yu, 2022;Neubauer, 2023) (Fig. S2, Table S4).…”

“…A second factor is uneven research history across continents. Europe has the longest and most intense research history, with hundreds of publications dealing with fossil nonmarine Mollusca (Wenz, 1923(Wenz, -1930Harzhauser & Mandic, 2008;Neubauer et al, 2015a,b,c;Neubauer, 2023). European naturalists started describing fossil freshwater gastropods in the 18th century (Brander, 1766).…”

“…Apart from the sometimes astounding levels of species diversity, the most extraordinary cases of shape and size evolution in freshwater gastropods derive from long-lived lakes. Notable examples include: (i) the huge, limpet-shaped lymnaeids of the subfamily Valencienniinae, which evolved in the Late Miocene in Lake Pannon from small ancestors of the genus Radix (Gorjanovi c- Kramberger, 1923;Taktakishvili, 1967;Neubauer et al, 2016a;Neubauer, 2023); (ii) the Middle Miocene Gyraulus species flock in the Steinheim Basin (Hilgendorf, 1867;Mensink, 1984;Rasser, 2013); (iii) the Plio-Pleistocene Viviparus species flock in Lake Slavonia (Neumayr & Paul, 1875); (iv) the middle Miocene to Pliocene 'Kosovia'-Popovicia lineage (Bulinidae) in Serbia and Kosovo, showing the step-wise evolution of sculptured sinistral Bulinus to pseudodextral, planorbiform morphologies (Atanackovi c, 1959;Popovi c, 1964;Miloševi c, 1970;Neubauer et al, 2017); and (v) the cochliopid radiation in the Miocene Pebas wetland in South America (Wesselingh, 2006a,b;Wesselingh & Renema, 2009).…”

Gastropoda are an exceptionally successful group with a rich and diverse fossil record. They have conquered land and freshwater habitats multiple times independently and have dispersed across the entire globe. Since they are important constituents of fossil assemblages, they are often used for palaeoecological reconstruction, biostratigraphic correlations, and as model groups to study morphological and taxonomic evolution. While marine faunas and their evolution have been a common subject of study, the freshwater component of the fossil record has attracted much less attention, and a global overview is lacking. Here, I review the fossil record of freshwater gastropods on a global scale, ranging from their origins in the late Palaeozoic to the Pleistocene. As compiled here, the global fossil record of freshwater Gastropoda includes 5182 species in 490 genera, 44 families, and 12 superfamilies over a total of ~340 million years. Following a slow and poorly known start in the late Palaeozoic, diversity slowly increased during the Mesozoic. Diversity culminated in an all‐time high in the Neogene, relating to diversification in numerous long‐lived (ancient) lakes in Europe. I summarise well‐documented and hypothesised freshwater colonisation events and compare the patterns found in freshwater gastropods to those in land snails. Furthermore, I discuss potential preservation and sampling biases, as well as the main drivers underlying species diversification in fresh water on a larger scale. In that context, I particularly highlight the importance of long‐lived lakes as islands and archives of evolution and expand a well‐known concept in ecology and evolution to a broader spectrum: scale‐independent ecological opportunity.
