Marine Parasite Biogeography Mirrors Host Patterns Across Latitude, Area, and Diversity

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Parasites are integral components of biodiversity, yet they remain poorly represented in large‐scale biogeographic theory. In this study, we test whether marine parasites follow three macroecological patterns established for free‐living taxa, namely that parasite species richness: (1) scales positively with area (both host body size and geographic area)

A mitogenomic re-evaluation of the bdelloid phylogeny and relationships among the Syndermata. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Molecular and morphological data regarding the relationships among the three classes of Rotifera (Bdelloidea, Seisonidea, and Monogononta) and the phylum Acanthocephala are inconclusive.

Native and Non‐Native Populations Respond Unevenly to River Barrier Removals

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
While barrier removals restore river connectivity and promote recovery of native populations, they may also facilitate non‐native species, creating a ‘connectivity conundrum’. Using a systematic review and meta‐analysis, we show that both native and non‐native populations can benefit from barrier removal, with outcomes being context‐dependent ...

DNA Metabarcoding Reveals Unexpected Predator–Prey–Microbial Dynamics in the Southern Right Whale (Eubalaena australis)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 12, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Southern right whale (Eubalaena australis; SRW) populations are recovering from the impacts of commercial whaling, however, recovery has been spatially variable, with strong associations between reproduction and prey availability. The diet of SRWs has not been widely examined, and with SRW foraging shifting away from high‐latitude foraging ...

Intestinal Parasite Community Dynamics in the Critically Endangered Chinese Alligator (Alligator sinensis): Multifactorial Insights From 18S rRNA Amplicon Sequencing

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our results firstly demonstrate the structure of parasite communities in A. sinensis and clarify how they are shaped by interacting ecological and management factors, providing critical baseline data for future research. ABSTRACT The intestinal parasite communities of vertebrates are shaped by complex interactions among biological, environmental, and ...

Marine Fish Parasites: A Bibliometric Review

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
This bibliometric study analyzes 11,368 publications on marine fish parasites from Web of Science and Scopus. The results reveal leading countries, institutions, and journals, and identify three main research clusters: parasitology, genetics, and marine ecology. Recent thematic evolution highlights a growing focus on aquaculture applications, including

Helminth parasites of the levantine frog (Pelophylax bedriagae Camerano, 1882) from the western part of Turkey

open access: yesHelminthologia, 2015
Fifty-four Pelophylax bedriagae (Levantine Frog) from Turkey (İzmir and Manisa Provinces) were examined for helminth parasites. The frogs were collected between 2012 and 2014 years. Eight species of helminth parasites were recorded: 3 species of Nematoda

A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE HELMINTH PARASITES OF SOME FISHES FROM LAKE NASSER AT ASSWAN, A.R. EGYPT [PDF]

open access: yesAssiut Veterinary Medical Journal, 1983
The helminth parasites, were surveyed from some fishes of lake Nasser at Assuan. Out of fish examined, (55.88%) were found infected with one or more species of parasites. How ever, mixed Infections were frequently met with.
