The potential of aquatic bloodfeeding and nonbloodfeeding leeches as a tool for iDNA characterisation. [PDF]
Mol Ecol Resour, 2022 Abstract Leeches play important roles in food webs due to their abundance, diversity and feeding habits. Studies using invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) extracted from leech gut contents to target vertebrate DNA have focused on the Indo‐Pacific region and mainly leveraged the leech family Haemadipsidae, composed of bloodfeeding terrestrial leeches, while

Molecular Insights Into the Sensory Adaption of the Cave-Dwelling Leech Sinospelaeobdella wulingensis to the Karst Cave Environment. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe conducted a transcriptome analysis on the cave‐dwelling land leech Sinospelaeobdella wulingensis. Piezos, TRPs, and iGluRs may have roles in mechanosensory and chemosensory systems of this leech. Similar gene expression profiles in winter and summer samples imply a stable physiological status of S.

Drivers of long-term invertebrate community stability in changing Swedish lakes. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2020 We assess the long‐term stability of invertebrate communities in 105 lakes in the Swedish “lakescape” by quantifying stability at the individual lake level as well as the environmental and physical variables affecting this stability at the ecoregion level.

Ecological indicators for qualitative assessment of Ojarud River: A case study
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 The results of this study exposed a sizable alteration in the diversity and abundance of macro‐invertebrate from the sensitive families to resistant and tolerant taxa under the contamination stress resulting from the point source pollution in the Ojarud River.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 8, Page 2022-2040, April 2023., 2023 Abstract One of the most important physiological challenges animals had to overcome during terrestrialization (i.e., the transition from sea to land) was water loss, which alters their osmotic and hydric homeostasis. Aquaporins are a superfamily of membrane water transporters heavily involved in osmoregulatory processes.
