Redescription of Placobdella Multistriata ( Johansson, 1909) (Hirudinea: Glossiphoniidae)

open access: yesKoedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 1979
Study of a large number of specimens of Placobdella multistriata (Johansson, 1909) revealed the unsatisfactory nature of the information currently available on this leech. The reason is evidently the fact that previous workers had very limited and poorly

Investigating changes to food web structure after fish removal using size spectra analysis

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Biomanipulation can control eutrophication, but if there is no discernible change, it is difficult to disentangle whether the biomanipulation failed to substantially alter food web structure or was unable to overcome external nutrient loading. Traditional food web model analyses to monitor management interventions can be prohibitively time and

Capture—Incubate—Release: An Animal‐Friendly Approach to Assess Local Aquatic Macroinvertebrate Species Diversity Through Environmental DNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
We assessed whether we can combine the advantages of both bulk and eDNA metabarcoding, that is, obtaining a local signal and being minimally invasive, to improve local invertebrate detections in streams using water samples. We quantified eDNA release over time after a short incubation in water for single species using qPCR and for bulk samples using ...

Some Tasmanian Hirudinea

open access: yesPapers and proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, 1957
Descriptions are given of two species of Haemadipsidae, one, Philaemon grandis sp. nov., the other Philaemon pungens Blanchard. The egg-capsule and newly hatched young of the latter species are also described. Limnobdella australis (Bosisto) (Hirudinidae) is recorded for the first time as occurring in Tasmania.

Toxic effect of Raphia vinifera on fish leech (Piscicola geometra) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
This study examines acute toxicity of Raphia vinifera on fish leech, Piscicola geometra. The leeches with a mean total length of (TL) 4.2+1.0cm were exposed to various concentrations of both crude powdered and ethanolic extracts of the botanical.

Evidence on Night Movements of Macroinvertebrates to Macrophytes in a Pampean Stream [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Nocturnal invertebrate abundance peaks in lotic systems are usually associated to drift, however, diel migrations other than drift may be important in slow-flowing systems.

Under Pressure: Macroinvertebrate Community Responses to Agriculture in Temporary Streams

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Temporary streams dominate global river networks and thus often occur in catchments dominated by agricultural land uses. Drying and agriculture can exert similar stressors on aquatic communities, for example, by decreasing dissolved oxygen concentrations and increasing fine sediment deposition.
