A phylogeographic analysis of the North American medicinal leech, Macrobdella decora (Say, 1824)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 103-118, January 2025.
Abstract In spite of their important roles in many ecosystems, data regarding population structure and biogeographic patterns of leeches are scarce. To begin to address this knowledge gap, we herein perform a phylogeographic analysis of the North American medicinal leech, Macrobdella decora (Say, 1824). A total of 224 M. decora specimens were collected

An Invasive Predator Substantially Alters Energy Flux Without Changing Food Web Functional State or Stability

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2024.
ABSTRACT Understanding how invasive species affect the stability and function of ecosystems is critical for conservation. Here, we quantified the effect of an actively suppressed invasive species on the Yellowstone Lake ecosystem using a food web energetics approach.

Assessment of Land‐Use Impact on Macroinvertebrate Communities in the Zwalm River Basin (Flanders, Belgium) Using Multivariate Analysis and Geographic Information Systems

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 546-557, 2002., 2002
Relationships between land‐use and river water quality assessed by means of biological and physical‐chemical variables and habitat characteristics were analysed for the Zwalm River basin in Flanders (Belgium). The research focussed on three zones within this river basin, each characterized by different land uses, and consequently, different types of ...

Phylogeny and revision of Erpobdelliformes (Annelida, Arhynchobdellida) from Mexico based on nuclear and mithochondrial gene sequences. Filogenia y revisión de los Erpobdelliformes (Annelida, Arhynchobdellida) de México, con base en secuencias de ADN nuclear y mitocondrial

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2005
The phylogenetic relationships of the suborder Erpobdelliformes, a group of non-sanguivorous leeches, were investigated with the use of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, mitochondrial 12S rDNA and nuclear 18S rDNA.
