: The pond snails used in our study, <i>Lymnaea stagnalis</i> are found in the Holarctic geographical region in abundant numbers and are neither an endangered nor a protected species. Experiments on pond snails are not subject to the approval of our respective animal ethics committees. Nonetheless, every effort was made to minimize the number of animals used ensuring adequate food, clean oxygenated water, and low-density conditions.
