The first leech body fossil predates estimated hirudinidan origins by 200 million years [PDF]

PeerJ
Clitellata is a major annelid clade comprising oligochaetes (e.g., earthworms) and hirudineans (e.g., leeches). Due to their scant fossil record, the origins of clitellates, particularly Hirudinea, are poorly known. Here, we describe the first leech body

The chromosomal genome sequence of the marine leech, Branchellion lobata Moore, 1952 and its associated microbial metagenome sequences [version 1; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual Branchellion lobata (the marine leech; Annelida; Clitellata; Hirudinida; Piscicolidae). The genome sequence is 174.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 17 chromosomal pseudomolecules.

A probable oligochaete from an Early Triassic Lagerstätte of the southern Cis-Urals and its evolutionary implications [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020
Oligochaetes, despite their important role in terrestrial ecosystems and a tremendous biomass, are extremely rare fossils. The palaeontological record of these worms is restricted to some cocoons, presumable trace fossils and a few body fossils the most ...

The first earthworm records from Batanta Island, West Papua, Indonesia (Megadrili: Acanthodrilidae, Megascolecidae) [PDF]

Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis, 2019
Identification of a small but valuable earthworm material collected on Batanta and the neighbouring small Birie Island in 2014 and 2019 resulted in recording five species. The only acanthodrilid species in the sample, Dichogaster annae (Horst, 1893), is
