Problematic barcoding in flatworms: A case-study on monogeneans and rhabdocoels (Platyhelminthes)

TL;DR: It is demonstrated how high molecular variability and contamination problems limit the possibilities for barcoding using standard COI-based protocols in flatworms, and it is concluded that mitochondrial and nuclear ribosomal markers perform equally well.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Monogenean Parasite Fauna of Cichlids: A Potential Tool for Host Biogeography

TL;DR: Host-switches and salinity transitions may be invoked to explain the pattern revealed by a preliminary morphological phylogeny of monogenean genera from Cichlidae and other selected Monogenea genera, rendering the parasite distribution explicable under both vicariance and dispersal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of ephippial morphology to assess richness of anomopods: potentials and pitfalls

TL;DR: The potentials and pitfalls of a third method to assess cladoceran species richness are explored and the morphotype richness was well correlated with species richness as assessed through hatching of dormant forms and through analysis of active community samples covering a six month period.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modularity in attachment organs of African Cichlidogyrus (Platyhelminthes: Monogenea: Ancyrocephalidae) reflects phylogeny rather than host specificity or geographic distribution

TL;DR: Analysis of shape variation of sclerotized structures of the attachment organ within 66 African species of the genus Cichlidogyrus provides new insights into the evolvability of attachment organs, as well as into the morphological basis of host specificity and host-parasite co-evolutionary interaction in helminth parasites.
