Life cycle truncation in Digenea, a case study of Neophasis spp. (Acanthocolpidae)
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021 Truncated life cycles may emerge in digeneans if the second intermediate host is eliminated, and the first intermediate host, the mollusc, takes up its role.

First endemic freshwater Gammarus from Crete and its evolutionary history—an integrative taxonomy approach [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The Mediterranean islands are known as natural laboratories of evolution with a high level of endemic biodiversity. However, most biodiversity assessments have focused mainly on terrestrial and marine fauna, leaving the freshwater animals aside. Crete is

Immunohistochemical Characterization of the Nervous System of Culex pipiens (Diptera, Culicidae)
Biology, 2022 Arthropod-borne diseases represent one of the greatest infection-related threats as a result of climate change and globalization. Repeatedly, arbovirus-infected mosquitoes show behavioral changes whose underlying mechanisms are still largely unknown, but

Recent advances in the innate immunity of invertebrate animals.
Journal of biochemistry and molecular biology, 2005 Invertebrate animals, which lack adaptive immune systems, have developed other systems of biological host defense, so called innate immunity, that respond to common antigens on the cell surfaces of potential pathogens.

Balancing between predation risk and food by boreal breeding ducks
Ecology and EvolutionWetlands belong to the globally most threatened habitats, and organisms depending on them are of conservation concern. Wetland destruction and quality loss may affect negatively also boreal breeding ducks in which habitat selection often needs balancing ...
