From Mud to Meat: Comparative Metabarcoding Reveals Two Different Evolutionary Paths to Carnivory in a Group of Meiofaunal Annelids

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.

Insights into mucosal and systemic immune responses of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, to chilodonellosis: A natural infection study

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 1323-1334, October 2025.
Abstract A natural parasitic infection with the external ciliate protozoan, Chilodonella hexasticha, was recorded 3 days post‐transportation (PT) in the gills and skin of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Infected fish displayed behavioural changes and typical signs of infection.

[immunologic And Parasitologic Aspects Of Biomphalaria Tenagophila Infected By Schistosoma Mansoni And Other Digenea]. [PDF]

, 2015
The behavior of Biomphalaria tenagophila amoebocytes was studied in infections produced by Schistosoma mansoni and other Digenea. The resistance to superinfection was also verified in mixed infections.

Postglacial Echoes: Parasite Genomics Uncover Environmental Changes in Postglacial European Lakes

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 17, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Postglacial environmental changes have influenced biodiversity and species evolution, yet the genomic and demographic responses of parasites remain underexplored. This study investigates the population genetics and demographic history of the flatworm Phyllodistomum umblae, a generalist trematode at the definitive host level infecting Coregonus

Incidence of Digenea larvae in Heleobia parchappii (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Cochliopidae) [PDF]

, 2017
We scored the presence of Digenea larvae in the gonadal follicles and digestive glands of males and females of a Heleobia parchappii (d’Orbigny, 1835) (Mollusca, Cochliopidae) population living in an artificial lake located adjacent to an anthropically ...

Antagonistic Rewiring and Turnover Patterns in a Neotropical Fish–Parasite Metanetwork

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Integrating beta‐diversity and network analyses is an emerging approach for understanding the spatial structure of species communities. For instance, although the presence of hosts affects parasite species distribution, environmental factors can either restrict or promote the occurrence of certain parasite species by changing the abundance of ...

Endoparasites and epibionts of loggerhead and green sea turtles from the eastern Mediterranean, Turkey: A detailed assessment

Helminthologia
Two species of sea turtles, the loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and the green turtle (Chelonia mydas), use Turkey's Mediterranean and rarely Aegean Sea coasts for nesting and foraging.

Elevated fish growth yet postponed maturation during intense marine heatwaves

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 4, June 2025.
Abstract In the last decade, the northeast Pacific Ocean has experienced new climatic extremes with the occurrence of several marine heatwaves (MHWs), prolonged periods of warmer‐than‐normal ocean temperatures, likely as a result of anthropogenic climate change.
