Delimiting species boundaries is a fundamental yet challenging task that has been
especially problematic in morphologically conserved lineages. The use of genetic markers …

Parasites exhibiting a high degree of host specificity are expected to be intimately
associated with their hosts. Therefore, the evolution of host-specific parasites is at least …

The diversification of Mediterranean fish appears to be far more complex than could be
explained by a single dispersion model. Cyprinids represent one of the most species-rich …

The study of host–parasite coevolution is one of the cornerstones of evolutionary biology.
The majority of fish ectoparasites belonging to the genus Dactylogyrus (Monogenea) exhibit …

Aim We used comparative phylogeography of two intestinal parasites of freshwater fish to
test whether similarity in life cycle translates into concordant phylogeographical history. The …

Four new species of Dactylogyrus Diesing, 1850 are described from the gills of three
species of Luciobarbus Heckel collected from various hydrographical basins in northern …

Background Freshwater fauna of the Middle East encompass elements shared with three
continents—Africa, Asia, and Europe—and the Middle East is, therefore, considered a …

Three species of small-sized rheophilic Barbus fishes are endemic to and widely distributed
throughout the mountain regions in the Danube River basin. In Hungary, barbels referred to …

The epicontinental fauna of the Iberian Peninsula is strongly influenced by its geographical
history. As the possibilities for dispersion of organisms into and from this region were (and …

Seven new species of Dactylogyrus Diesing, 1850 (Dactylogyridae) are described from the
gills of seven endemic species of cyprinoids (Cyprinidae, Leuciscidae) inhabiting the Balkan …
