Molecular Insights Into the Sensory Adaption of the Cave-Dwelling Leech Sinospelaeobdella wulingensis to the Karst Cave Environment. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe conducted a transcriptome analysis on the cave‐dwelling land leech Sinospelaeobdella wulingensis. Piezos, TRPs, and iGluRs may have roles in mechanosensory and chemosensory systems of this leech. Similar gene expression profiles in winter and summer samples imply a stable physiological status of S.

Exploring Barbronia species diversity and phylogenetic relationship within Suborder Erpobdelliformes (Clitellata: Annelida) [PDF]
PeerJBackground Barbronia, a genus of freshwater macrophagous leeches, belongs to Erpobdelliformes (Salifidae: Clitellata: Annelida), and B. weberi, a well-known leech within this genus, has a worldwide distribution. However, the systematics of Barbronia have

First record of Erpobdella concolor (Annandale, 1913) (Hirudinida: Erpobdellidae) from Greece
Biologica Nyssana, 2013 Erpobdella concolor (Annandale, 1913) was recorded for the first time from a spring in the Peloponnese, Greece. This locality represents the westernmost spot of the species range known so far.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2089-2099, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Freshwater molluscs are hosts for diverse metazoan symbionts. However, apart from the digenean helminths, symbionts of molluscs are underreported worldwide. Therefore, this study focused on the diversity of oligochaetes, leeches, mites, insect larvae and nematodes associated with gastropods and bivalves from Lake Victoria, East Africa. Overall,

Abundance and composition of invertebrate-feeding leeches in relation to fish status in ponds
The European Zoological Journal, 2023 Leeches feeding on invertebrates are an important component of freshwater communities, including those dominated by fish, but the effects of fish on their abundance and distribution are not well explored.

River Research and Applications, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 323-333, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Many large rivers used for navigation have lost their hydromorphological heterogeneity, which has led to the widespread loss of native biodiversity and the concurrent establishment of non‐native communities. While the effects on biodiversity are well‐described, we know little about how the loss of natural habitats and the restructuring of ...
