This contribution reviews diversity of turbellarian species by biogeographical regions, with
comments on species biology. The review draws on the database available at http://www …

The turbellarians are a key group due to the position they occupy in the tree of life, due to
their regenerative capacities and other characteristics such as their cosmopolitanism …

This study aims to relate the flow structure over mobile dunes recorded on the channel bed
of the Paraná River (Argentina) with the spatial distribution of the benthic …

Dunes are ubiquitous bed forms in river channels which deeply interact with the mean and
turbulent flow dynamic. These interactions involve the intricate mechanisms governing the …

Twenty-one free-living species of turbellaria (Platyhelminthes) were found in the Pacaya-
Samiria National Reserve (Loreto, Peru), a Peruvian Amazon floodplain. The total 21 …

An overview of the marine rhabdocoel fauna of Uruguay is given. Eight species, new to
science, are described and dis cussed. Two of these, Acirrostylus poncedeleonin. gn sp. and …

The Taim strict nature reserve (ESEC Taim) is a protected wetland (Ramsar site) in southern
Brazil. Although the ESEC Taim harbours a broad conspicuous flora and fauna, this area …

A detailed hydro-ecological study to identify the effects of bed flow and morphodynamic
processes on the distribution (and composition) of benthic invertebrates in a large river is …

Temnocephalida, a group of small epibiontic worms strictly associated with freshwater hosts,
includes 179 taxa in 23 genera, classified in two major groups: Scutarielloidea, distributed in …

Free-living turbellarians mostly live in marine and freshwater environments, but they have
been little considered in ecological studies. The coastal plain in southern Brazil harbors a …
