Simultaneous analysis of the intestinal parasites and diet through eDNA metabarcoding
We design a eukaryotic mini‐barcode (MiniB18S_81), which provides high taxonomic resolution of the most relevant diet and parasite phyla, Arthropoda, Nematoda, Platyhelminthes, and Apicomplexa, at the order level. An excellent tool to simultaneously provide detailed information regarding the diet and parasites of birds, essential for conservation and ...

Early mesodermal development in the patellogastropod Lottia goshimai
Abstract Mesodermal development is essential to explore the interlineage variations in the development of spiralians. Compared with model mollusks such as Tritia and Crepidula, knowledge about the mesodermal development of other molluscan lineages is limited.

A global review of problematic and pathogenic parasites of farmed tilapia
Abstract Over the past 80 years, tilapia have been translocated globally for aquaculture; active production is recorded in >124 countries. Of 7 million tonnes of tilapia produced in aquaculture, 79% is from 79 countries outside the natural range of tilapia.

Abstract Freshwater molluscs are hosts for diverse metazoan symbionts. However, apart from the digenean helminths, symbionts of molluscs are underreported worldwide. Therefore, this study focused on the diversity of oligochaetes, leeches, mites, insect larvae and nematodes associated with gastropods and bivalves from Lake Victoria, East Africa. Overall,

Development of a flow‐sensitive macroinvertebrate index for Australian rivers
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.

In our paper, four events of blood sucking on human by juvenile and adult specimens of Placobdella costata were described. We presented with a new data of juvenile specimens' body form and considered information about the potential role of mammals as hosts and dispersion vector of this leech.

Non‐invasive surveys of mammalian viruses using environmental DNA
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) and invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) are used to survey biodiversity non‐invasively to mitigate difficulties in obtaining wildlife samples, particularly in remote areas or for rare species. Recently, eDNA/iDNA were used to monitor known wildlife pathogens; however, most wildlife pathogens are unknown and often ...

Anthropogenic litter is a novel habitat for aquatic macroinvertebrates in urban rivers
Abstract Anthropogenic litter (solid manufactured waste) is an understudied but pervasive element of river systems worldwide. Its physical structure generally differs from natural substrates, such as gravel and cobbles (hereafter rocks). Consequently, anthropogenic litter could influence ecological communities in urban rivers by providing novel ...

Um catálogo de Helobdella (Annelida, Clitellata, Hirudinea, Glossiphoniidae), com um sumário da diversidade de sanguessugas, da América do Sul [PDF]
A catalogue of Helobdella produced 46 nominal species reported to date from South America. Only 14 species of Helobdella had been registered for South America until 1981. Almost 90% of the present fauna is endemic to the South American continent. Only fi
