Land planarians are recognized as important predators, yet studies on their feeding habits
are usually restricted to invasive species. Thus, it is difficult to determine the real ecological …

We found numerous dull brown land planarians of the subfamily Geoplaninae within native
rainforests and in nearby man-disturbed habitats in Southeastern and South Brazil. Their …

Abstract The genera Cratera Carbayo et al., 2013 and Obama Carbayo et al., 2013,
belonging to the subfamily Geoplaninae, were recently proposed to encompass some of the …

Here, we describe two new flatworm species of the genera Obama Carbayo et al., 2013 and
Notogynaphallia Ogren & Kawakatsu, 1990 (Geoplaninae) found in riverine forests of central …

The land planarian species Microplana terrestris (Müller, 1774), shows a wide distribution in
the north of the Iberian Peninsula, where mature humid forests can be found. Since most …

The genus Choeradoplana encompasses 11 species, nine of which have a restricted
distribution and are only known from their type localities. Herein we describe two new …

Studies on the predatory behaviour of land planarians have focused mainly on established
invasive species, while the feeding habits of non-invasive planarians are poorly understood …

Phenology expresses strategies related to resource use and can play an important role in
the success of invasive plants. Araucaria forests are highly fragmented ecosystems that are …

Land planarians are an interesting group of free-living flatworms that can be useful as
bioindicators because of their high sensitivity to environmental changes and low dispersal …

We describe two new species of Neotropical land planarians found in protected areas of the
Atlantic Forest in southern Brazil. Cratera obsidiana Amaral, Boll Leal-Zanchet, sp. nov …
