Pathology associated with larval Eustrongylides sp. (Nematoda: Dioctophymatoidea) infection in Galaxias maculatus (Actinopterygii: Galaxiidae) from Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019 Helminth infections within tissues tend to be subjected to a host response that can include encapsulation and melanization to isolate the parasite. The effectiveness of this response depends on the host species. During a survey of parasites of the native

A Review of Galaxias (Galaxiidae) Fossils from the Southern Hemisphere [PDF]
Diversity, 2020 The Galaxiidae is a Southern Hemisphere family of freshwater fish, considered to be of Gondwanan origin based on the current distribution of species in New Zealand, Australia (including Tasmania), New Caledonia, Africa, South America, and on some ...

Contrasting evolutionary responses in two co-distributed species of Galaxias (Pisces, Galaxiidae) in a river from the glaciated range in Southern Chile [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Life-history traits are among the most important factors affecting population abundance and genetic diversity of species. Here, we analysed the genetic patterns of two Galaxias species with different life-history traits to investigate how these ...

Cryptic diversity within two widespread diadromous freshwater fishes (Teleostei: Galaxiidae) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionIdentification of taxonomically cryptic species is essential for the effective conservation of biodiversity. Freshwater‐limited organisms tend to be genetically isolated by drainage boundaries, and thus may be expected to show substantial cryptic ...

A Global Assessment of Parasite Diversity in Galaxiid Fishes
Diversity, 2021 Free-living species often receive greater conservation attention than the parasites they support, with parasite conservation often being hindered by a lack of parasite biodiversity knowledge.
