First data on the Hirudinea fauna of lotic ecosystems of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area (Russia) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2022 Hirudinea, a small and ecologically important group of aquatic organisms, is poorly studied in northern Eurasia. In this study, we demyth the idea of the faunistic poverty of this region and present the first findings of rheophilic leeches from the ...
