TL;DR: Investigating the effect of ecological fitting on structuring the platyhelminth communities of anurans from a temperate forest and grassland in the United States and tropical dry and wet forests in Mexico and Costa Rica concludes that parasite communities are structured by both ecological fitting and coevolution (mutual modification).

TL;DR: A cocktail of three novel primer pairs that overcome this limitation by recovering cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) barcodes from diverse nematode lineages parasitic on vertebrates, including members of three orders and eight families enables high‐throughput processing.

TL;DR: The divergence time estimates suggest that diversification in the subfamily Doryctinae could have in part occurred as a result of continental break-up events that took place in the southern hemisphere, though more recent dispersal events account for the current distribution of several widespread taxa.

TL;DR: Based on the strongly supported relationships, genetic differentiation, and geographic distribution of the haplotypes examined, nine independent lineages appear to comprise the group of study, but confirmation of the new proposed lineages will require further analyses based on other genetic markers and additional samples that cover their entire geographic distribution.

TL;DR: This checklist includes information for 430 nominal taxa of metazoan parasites, 371 helminths, including 51 acari and 8 crustaceans, and adds 184 new locality records to Acari.
