Genetic Diversity of Freshwater Leeches in Lake Gusinoe (Eastern Siberia, Russia)
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 The study of leeches from Lake Gusinoe and its adjacent area offered us the possibility to determine species diversity. As a result, an updated species list of the Gusinoe Hirudinea fauna (Annelida, Clitellata) has been compiled. There are two orders and

N‐dimensional hypervolumes in trait‐based ecology: Does occupancy rate matter?
Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 7, Page 1802-1814, July 2023., 2023 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Many methods for estimating the functional diversity of biological communities rely on measuring geometrical properties of n‐dimensional hypervolumes in a trait space. To date, these properties are calculated from individual hypervolumes or their pairwise combinations ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 8, Page 1582-1596, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim We studied the distribution of freshwater macroinvertebrate taxa and traits to distinguish ecological gradients among the mining‐controlled and natural headwaters, and rural and urban economic activity influences. Location In 2016’s dry season, macroinvertebrate samples were collected at 40 locations in the Mashcon watershed, northern ...

Development of a flow‐sensitive macroinvertebrate index for Australian rivers
River Research and Applications, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 846-862, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Hydrologically sensitive macroinvertebrate indices have been developed in Europe, the Americas and New Zealand to serve many purposes such as monitoring ecological responses to drought, flow regulation, water extraction and the provision of environmental flows.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 539-553, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Leeches play important roles in food webs due to their abundance, diversity and feeding habits. Studies using invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) extracted from leech gut contents to target vertebrate DNA have focused on the Indo‐Pacific region and mainly leveraged the leech family Haemadipsidae, composed of bloodfeeding terrestrial leeches, while
