To be or not to be a flatworm: the acoel controversy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
Since first described, acoels were considered members of the flatworms (Platyhelminthes). However, no clear synapomorphies among the three large flatworm taxa -- the Catenulida, the Acoelomorpha and the Rhabditophora -- have been characterized to date ...

Modelling the spatial extent of post‐fire sedimentation threat to estimate the impacts of fire on waterways and aquatic species

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 11, Page 2429-2442, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Fires can severely impact aquatic fauna, especially when attributes of soil, topography, fire severity and post‐fire rainfall interact to cause substantial sedimentation. Such events can cause immediate mortality and longer‐term changes in food resources and habitat structure.

Was the decline of saltmarsh tabanid populations after the 2010 oil spill associated with change in the larval food web?

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Horse flies of the species Tabanus nigrovittatus and Tabanus acutus are native to coastal marshlands. Their larvae are apex invertebrate predators, and their development is dependent on the food web in the marsh sediment. Surveillance of T. nigrovittatus after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico showed population crashes

Three dispersal routes out of Africa: A puzzling biogeographical history in freshwater planarians

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 1219-1233, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Freshwater planarians may have a wide geographical range despite their assumed low vagility. Found across four continents, Dugesia may have either an ancient origin on a large palaeo landmass, followed by colonisation in different regions before continental fragmentation, or a more recent origin and subsequent transoceanic dispersal.

DNA metabarcoding provides insights into the diverse diet of a dominant suspension feeder, the giant plumose anemone Metridium farcimen

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 147-156, January 2022., 2022
The diet of the competitively dominant and abundant sea anemone Metridium farcimen was compared with available food within the plankton. Metabarcoding showed that these animals captures a wider range of prey than previously suspected based on conventional visual analysis, including terrestrial invertebrates.

Evolutionary history of the Tricladida and the Platyhelminthes: an up-to-date phylogenetic and systematic account [PDF]

, 2012
Within the free-living platyhelminths, the triclads, or planarians, are the best-known group, largely as a result of long-standing and intensive research on regeneration, pattern formation and Hox gene expression.
