Polyclad flatworms have a troubled classification history, with two contradicting systems in
use. They both rely on a ventral adhesive structure to define the suborders Acotylea and …

Background To date, mitochondrial genomes of more than one hundred flatworms
(Platyhelminthes) have been sequenced. They show a high degree of similarity and a strong …

We describe Notocomplana hagiyai sp. nov. from Ishikari Bay, Hokkaido, northern Japan.
Notocomplana hagiyai sp. nov. is characterized by i) a larger prostatic vesicle relative to the …

The first three mitochondrial (mt) genomes of endosymbiotic turbellarian flatworms are
characterised for the rhabdocoels Graffilla buccinicola, Syndesmis echinorum and S …

There are more than 350 species of amphipods (Crustacea) in Lake Baikal, which have
emerged predominantly through the course of endemic radiation. This group represents a …

Here we describe, for the first time, the mitochondrial genome of Spirobranchus giganteus
(Annelida: Serpulidae) and compare it with all available annelid mitogenomes. The entire …

A phylogenetic analysis of Polycladida based on two partial mitochondrial genes (cox1 and
16S) is provided. The analysis includes 30 polyclad terminals that represent species from …

The systematics and distribution of the order Polycladida within the Macaronesian
archipelagos are analysed. New species (Marcusia alba sp. nov., Prostheceraeus …

Ascaridia galli (Nematoda: Ascaridiidae) is the most common intestinal roundworm of
chickens and other birds with a worldwide distribution. Although A. galli has been …

Abstract Echinoparyphium aconiatum (Digenea: Echinostomatidae) is an intestinal parasite
of anatid and snail-eating birds. In Eurasia, it is also common in lymnaeid snails, which may …
