A Circadian Rhythm of Swimming Behavior in a Predatory Leech of the Family Erpobdellidae

American Midland Naturalist, 1997
A wide variety of organisms exhibit circadian rhythms of motor behavior. These daily rhythms are advantageous because they allow animals to synchronize their activ- ities with predictable changes in the environment, including daily fluctuations of light, tem- perature and prey availability.

Species delimitation recovers undescribed Erpobdellidae (Annelida: Hirudinea) from USA and Türkiye

Zootaxa
Erpobdellid leeches are morphologically similar to each other and thus cause confusion in taxonomic identification. In particular, annuli, colour and eye patterns are very close across species which creates difficulties in external morphological resolution.

Germ-line cysts are formed during oogenesis inErpobdella octoculata(Annelida, Clitellata, Erpobdellidae)

Invertebrate Reproduction & Development, 2010
Abstract Erpobdella octoculata (Clitellata, Hirudinea, Erpobdellidae) has paired ovarian sacs, each containing several rod-shaped structures termed ovarian bodies. Oogenesis takes place within the ovarian bodies. We show that in the apical part of the bodies the germ-line cells form syncytial cysts of cells interconnected by stable intercellular ...

Erpobdella punctata (Hirudinea: Erpobdellidae) as phoronts on Ambystoma maculatum (Amphibia: Ambystomatidae)

Journal of Natural History, 1997
Adult spotted salamanders Ambystoma maculatum with leeches Erpobdella punctata attached were observed frequently during a survey of the amphibians from a temporary woodland pond in southern Beaufort County in South Carolina. In the present study, the occurrence of E. punctata was examined in a population of A. maculatum with regards to the salamander's

Reproductive success and growth of two species of Erpobdellidae: the effect of water temperature

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1987
Cocoon production and hatchling growth of two species of Erpobdellidae (Nephelopsis obscura and Erpobdella punctata) were compared at different water temperatures (5–20 °C). Based on the mean number of cocoons produced per individual, mean numbers of eggs per cocoon, cocoon hatching success, and hatchling growth rates, E.
