Biogeographic regionalizations provide frameworks for a holistic understanding of river
basin areas and their inland water ecosystems. Here we employ the freshwater ecoregion …

Some taxonomic groups are less amenable to mitochondrial DNA barcoding than others.
Due to the paucity of molecular information of understudied groups and the huge molecular …

The unparalleled biodiversity of Lake Tanganyika (Africa) has fascinated biologists for over
a century; its unique cichlid communities are a preferred model for evolutionary research …

Eight new species of Gyrodactylus are described from Poecilia mexicana, Poeciliopsis
gracilis, Pseudoxiphophorus bimaculatus [syn.= Heterandria bimaculata], and Xiphophorus …

Non-indigenous species may have negative impacts on the native fauna in their competition
for food and habitat, but they can also introduce non-indigenous parasite species, with …

Lake Tanganyika's biodiversity and endemicity sparked considerable scientific interest. Its
monogeneans, minute parasitic flatworms, have received renewed attention. Their host …

We describe a new species, Gyrodactylus ginestrae n. sp., a parasite of the big-scale sand
smelt (Atherina boyeri) from the Black Sea. This is the third monogenean species known …

Gobies and their ectoparasitic monogenean flatworms are promising models for species
diversification because of their species richness. Recent decades have seen the discovery …

An integrative taxonomy approach was followed to analyse morphological and molecular
characters of the monogenean species Pseudomazocraes selene, Cemocotyle carangis …

In recent years and decades, two new fish species, the Caucasian dwarf goby
