TLDR
In this article , the authors propose that Dugesia may have either an ancient origin on a large palaeo landmass, followed by colonisation in different regions before continental fragmentation, or a more recent origin and subsequent transoceanic dispersal.Abstract:
Freshwater planarians may have a wide geographical range despite their assumed low vagility. Found across four continents, Dugesia may have either an ancient origin on a large palaeo landmass, followed by colonisation in different regions before continental fragmentation, or a more recent origin and subsequent transoceanic dispersal. We seek to resolve between these two hypotheses.read more

Microplate tectonics and environmental factors as distribution drivers in Western Mediterranean freshwater planarians
TL;DR: This article used an integrative approach to understand how palaeogeographical and environmental processes shape species distribution and focus on freshwater planarians as the model system, and used a model system to model the distribution of planarians.

First molecular phylogeny of the freshwater planarian genus Girardia (Platyelminthes, Tricladida) unveils hidden taxonomic diversity and initiates resolution of its historical biogeography
TL;DR: The phylogenetic tree brings to light that Girardia arose on the South American portion of Gondwanaland, from which it, subsequently, dispersed to the Nearctic Region, probably more than once.

First molecular phylogeny of the freshwater planarian genus<i>Girardia</i>(Platyhelminthes: Tricladida) unveils hidden taxonomic diversity and initiates resolution of its historical biogeography
TL;DR: In this paper , a molecular phylogenetic analysis of Girardia is presented, which suggests the presence of two main clades, which are genetically and karyologically highly differentiated.

Biogeographic–tectonic calibration of 14 nodes in a butterfly timetree
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used biogeographic-tectonic calibration, with fossil-calibrated ages accepted as minima, to date multiple nodes in the butterfly subtribe Coenonymphina.

RAxML version 8: a tool for phylogenetic analysis and post-analysis of large phylogenies.
TL;DR: This work presents some of the most notable new features and extensions of RAxML, such as a substantial extension of substitution models and supported data types, the introduction of SSE3, AVX and AVX2 vector intrinsics, techniques for reducing the memory requirements of the code and a plethora of operations for conducting post-analyses on sets of trees.
