Biodiversity is considered one of the most significant parameters for characterizing aquatic
environments. The value of species diversity is taken into account when assessing the …

The aim of this study was to reveal faunistic and diversity patterns and to assess the effects
of environmental factors on the differentiation of leech communities. This study covers …

Chironomids are one of the most biodiverse and abundant members of freshwater
ecosystems. They are a food source for many organisms, including fish and water mites. The …

Freshwater molluscs are hosts for diverse metazoan symbionts. However, apart from the
digenean helminths, symbionts of molluscs are underreported worldwide. Therefore, this …

The study concerns the relationships between taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic
diversity of benthic invertebrates inhabiting watercourses and abiotic parameters associated …

To determine the presence of emergent contaminants in aquatic environments and to
evaluate responses of the dominant taxa of benthic macrofauna, seven stations were …

The aim of this study was to confirm the taxonomic status of Piscicola pojmanskae Bielecki,
1994 found on Salmonidae fish. The fish leech was identified based on a diligent …

Different components of biological diversity of larval Chironomidae, typically the most
abundant and the most diverse of all lotic zoo-benthos, were assessed to determine their …

We present the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of a recently described new
leech species named Hemiclepsis yangtzenensis Yang & Bolotov 2021 collected in central …

The present investigation based on the morphometric and morphologic characterization of
five leech specimens were collected from the water spots and springs of Hazar-Merd Caves …
