Complex life cycles are a hallmark of parasitic trematodes. In several trematode taxa,
however, the life cycle is truncated: fewer hosts are used than in a typical three-host cycle …

Arctic terrestrial ecosystems are generally considered to be species poor, fragile and often
isolated. Nonetheless, their intricate complexity, especially that of the invertebrate …

Shorebird abundance and spatial distribution of larval trematodes in the New Zealand
mudsnail, Zeacumantus subcarinatus, were investigated in soft-sediment intertidal bays …

Parasites are a masterful work of evolutionary art. The tiny mite Histiostoma laboratorium, a
parasite of Drosophila, launches itself, in an incredible display of evolutionary engineering …

This study analyzed the influence of several abiotic and biotic variables on the distribution of
digenetic trematode infections in a mudsnail, Hydrobia ventrosa, population inhabiting 12 …

This review analyses the scarce available data on biodiversity and transmission of helminths
in Arctic coastal ecosystems and the potential impact of climate changes on them. The focus …

Divergence of ecological niches in phylogenetically closely related species indicates the
importance of ecology in speciation, especially for sympatric species are considered. Such …

Aim Positive relationships in compositional similarity between consumer and resource
assemblages are widely known in free‐living taxa, but less is known about parasites and …

Blue mussels, Mytilus edulis, serve as second intermediate hosts for several trematode
species, but little is known about the mechanisms underlying parasite infections in mussels …

Notocotylids are common digeneans parasitising birds and mammals. They have a two-host
life cycle with cercariae encysting in the open. Particular life cycles remain unknown for …
