Abstract Knowledge of dietary composition is crucial for understanding the trophic ecology of
a mariculture species and the available food in aquafarms, which is fundamental for …

Freshwater bivalves play key ecological roles in lakes and rivers, largely contributing to
healthy ecosystems. The freshwater pearl mussel, Margaritifera margaritifera, is found in …

Gregarines are the most biodiverse group of apicomplexan parasites. This group specializes
on invertebrate hosts (eg, ascidians, crustaceans, and polychaetes). Marine gregarines are …

Individual organisms can host multiple species of parasites (or symbionts), and one species
of parasite can infect different host species, creating complex interactions among multiple …

Gregarine apicomplexans are ubiquitous endosymbionts of invertebrate hosts. Despite their
ecological and evolutionary importance, inferences about the phylogenetic relationships of …
