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.

The activity of hydrolytic enzymes in the digestive system of Acanthobdellida, Branchiobdellida and Hirudinida (Annelida, Clitellata) – considerations on similarity and phylogeny

The European Zoological Journal, 2021
Activities of nineteen hydrolases were measured in the digestive systems of predatory and blood-feeding true leeches (Hirudinida) and their closest relatives, Branchiobdellida and Acanthobdellida.

Adding large woody material into a headwater stream has immediate benefits for macroinvertebrate community structure and function

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 930-947, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Hydromorphological rehabilitation through installing large woody material (LWM) is increasingly being used to reverse degradation of stream ecosystems. There have been many criticisms of stream rehabilitation projects, because many have not met their goals and many others have not been monitored well enough to assess whether their goals were ...

Strong impacts of signal crayfish invasion on upland stream fish and invertebrate communities

Freshwater Biology, Volume 66, Issue 2, Page 223-240, February 2021., 2021
Abstract Impacts of invasive signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus on native species and ecosystems are widely recognised, but mostly through small‐scale studies and laboratory experiments that may not always reflect impacts in nature. Recorded effects of signal crayfish on fish populations are equivocal.

Testing the spatial and temporal framework of speciation in an ancient lake species flock: the leech genus Dina (Hirudinea: Erpobdellidae) in Lake Ohrid [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2010
Ancient Lake Ohrid on the Balkan Peninsula is considered to be the oldest ancient lake in Europe with a suggested Plio-/Pleistocene age. Its exact geological age, however, remains unknown.
