Phylogenetic analysis of avian schistosome Trichobilharzia regenti (Schistosomatidae, Digenea) from naturally infected hosts in northern Iran

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 5, Page 2359-2367, September 2023., 2023
This article demonstrates new information about the current status of Trichobilharzia species in infected ducks and snails in the aquaculture areas of Mazandaran Province in northern Iran. The new genotype of Trichobilharzia cf. regenti is circulating between migratory and domestic ducks in the study areas.

Target‐capture probes for phylogenomics of the Caenogastropoda

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1372-1388, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Target‐capture approaches have facilitated a rapid growth in the field of phylogenomics but few probe sets exist for molluscs, an exceptionally rich phylum with unparalleled ecological and morphological diversity. We designed and tested the first universal probe set using Phyluce to capture ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and exon loci from the

Dyke demolition led to a sharp decline in waterbird diversity due to habitat quality reduction: A case study of Dongting Lake, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022
Dyke demolition led to a sharp decline in waterbird diversity at the community, foraging guilds, and species levels. Habitat changes caused by dyke demolition were responsible for the changes in waterbird diversity. Abstract Dongting Lake, an important wintering habitat for migratory waterbirds in the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, has suffered ...
