Editor’s summary
Renylaima capensis is a trematode infecting the urinary system of the shrew Myosorex varius. It uses two transmission strategies, including a two-host life cycle by predation of the slug Ariostralis nebulosa harbouring intrasporocystic cercariae as the normal pattern. However, another slug Ariopelta capensis is just starting to be introduced as a second molluscan host in which small metacercariae are able to develop.

Editor’s summary
The overall patterns point to little plasticity for thermal limits and this finding points to limited adaptive potential in these species, which is consistent with some data from other mosquitoes. The data are welcome given the limited information available on the physiological behaviour of the mosquitoes.
