Colonization and extinction of land planarians (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida) in a Brazilian Atlantic Forest regrowth remnant
(SPRINGER, 2008)
Long-term assessments of species assemblages are valuable tools for detecting species ecological preferences and their dispersal tracks, as well as for assessing the possible effects of alien species on native communities. ...
Checklist of free-living microturbellarian flatworms (Turbellaria, Platyhelminthes) in the Suquía River Basin, Córdoba, Argentina
(Pensoft Publishers, 2021-12)
Free-living microturbellarians are a part of lentic and lotic aquatic assemblages and play an important but underestimated role in aquatic ecosystems. Consequently, they are not included in studies on the dynamics of ...
Life history of the freshwater microturbellarian Macrostomum velastylum (Macrostomorpha) in the Neotropical region
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020-11-16)
The genus Macrostomum (Platyhelminthes: Macrostomorpha) is a group of cosmopolitan free-living flatworms that occurs in a wide range of habitats. In our study, individuals of Macrostomum velastylum were collected from the ...
New record of Phrikoceros inca (Polycladida, Cotylea) from the central coast of Peru, with a review of polyclads known from Peruvian waters
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020-12-25)
Polyclads are marine free-living Platyhelminthes, generally disregarded in marine environmental assessments. Here, Phrikoceros inca (Cotylea, Pseudocerotidae), identified on the basis of external features such as its ...
Expression of a neuropeptide similar to allatotropin in free living turbellaria (platyhelminthes)
(Churchill Livingstone, 2011-12)
Mechanisms coordinating cell-cell interaction have appeared early in evolution. Allatotropin (AT), a neuropeptide isolated based on its ability to stimulate the synthesis of juvenile hormones (JHs) in insects has also been ...
Evolutionary implications of the microRNA- and piRNA complement of Lepidodermella squamata (Gastrotricha)
(MDPI, 2019)
Gastrotrichs—’hairy bellies’—are microscopic free-living animals inhabiting marine and freshwater habitats. Based on morphological and early molecular analyses, gastrotrichs were placed close to nematodes, but recent ...
First record of Stenostomum sphagnetorum (Platyhelminthes, Catenulida) from India
(Magnolia Press, 2020-07-17)
Catenulida are mostly inhabitants of freshwater ecosystems, like ponds, streams, though the marine species are few (Larsson and Willems, 2010). About 110 species of catenulids are known worldwide, with most of the studies ...
Land Planarian Assemblages in Protected Areas of the Interior Atlantic Forest: Implications for Conservation
(Public Library of Science, 2014-03)
Land planarians are an interesting group of free-living flatworms that can be useful as bioindicators because of their high sensitivity to environmental changes and low dispersal capacity. In this study, we describe and ...
