DNA barcoding for species delimitation of the freshwater leech genus Glossiphonia from the Western Balkan (Hirudinea, Glossiphoniidae) [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity Data Journal, 2021
Glossiphoniid leeches are a diverse group and sometimes abundant elements of the aquatic fauna inhabiting various types of freshwater habitats. In this study, we sampled leeches of the genus Glossiphonia from the Western Balkan in order to test the ...

Developmental biology and potential use of Alboglossiphonia lata (Annelida: Hirudinea) as an “Evo-Devo” model organism

open access: yesFrontiers in Zoology, 2017
Background The need for the adaptation of species of annelids as “Evo-Devo” model organisms of the superphylum Lophotrochozoa to refine the understanding of the phylogenetic relationships between bilaterian organisms, has promoted an increase in the ...

Predictive Distribution Modeling of the Medicinal Leech Hirudo verbana Carena, 1820 (Hirudinea, Hirudinidae) in Sicily: Implications for Conservation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
A predictive distribution model for Hirudo verbana in Sicily was developed using 1980–2024 occurrence data and environmental variables. The species is associated with densely vegetated, high‐elevation lentic habitats and avoids human‐disturbed areas.

Stream Invertebrate Responses to Fine Sediment Depend on the Organic and Inorganic Components

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Excess fine sediment ( < 2 mm) is a pervasive stressor of aquatic systems at a global scale. To date, most research quantifying ecological response to deposited fine sediment has been conducted without distinguishing between the organic and inorganic components of fine sediment, leaving mechanistic understanding of how fine sediment affects ...

How can eDNA contribute in riverine macroinvertebrate assessment? A metabarcoding approach in the Nalón River (Asturias, Northern Spain)

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 1, Issue 4, Page 385-401, November 2019., 2019
Rivers are impacted ecosystems that need to be monitored regularly. Here, we have tested a metabarcoding approach to compare the results on water quality monitoring with conventional assessments for benthic macroinvertebrates. Water quality monitoring in freshwaters using macroinvertebrate eDNA performs equally well than conventional morphological ...
