The Ponto-Caspian amphipod Dikerogammarus bispinosus was originally described from the Black Sea basin. Its recent discovery in Caspian basin puzzling because it unknown whether an invasive or overlooked native species this area. Here, we examined specimens collected both and basins by means of molecular delimitation based on nuclear (28S) mitochondrial (COI) DNA sequences, as well scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Our analyses reveal that D. comprises three evolutionary independent...
Abstract The Spanish slug, a species that is considered to be the most destructive pest among molluscs of Europe, reported spread widely across Ukraine during last 5–7 years. In addition its 5 known colonies in Western Ukraine, over 60 new localities from Western, Central, Northern, Southern and Eastern are for first time using own materials reports with photo general public. Newly include such major cities as Kyiv, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Khmelnitsky, Vinnytsia, Ternopil, Zhytomyr, Lutsk,...
Erpobdellid leeches of the genus Trocheta are among biggest and most charismatic members their class. The studies group have a long complicated history due to lack reliable distinguishing features, which impedes taxonomy genus. A number species been misclassified for years if not centuries. Our present research demonstrates that is characterized by high cryptic diversity since some populations viewed as same should be, in fact, assigned different species. from Dniester basin Crimean...
The diversity of freshwater leeches (Clitellata; Hirudinida) Iran was estimated by employing both DNA barcoding and species delimitation methods. Phylogenetic relationships arhynchobdellid (including Hirudinidae, Praobdellidae, Haemopidae, Erpobdellidae) rhynchobdellid (Glossiphoniidae) were reconstructed, based on the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) locus, using new sequence data those available from GenBank. Our results suggest that each Helobdella stagnalis (Linnaeus, 1758),...
Dina stschegolewi is an erpobdellid leech that was described by Lukin and Epshtein (1960) from the Crimean Peninsula. It has been recorded for Middle East, South Caucasus Eastern Europe...
The purpose of the paper was to describe as fully possible complex features by which one can distinguish above species and specify distribution these leeches in Black Sea lowland.Results. Detailed studies external morphology genital anatomy demonstrated that D. stschegolewi is very different from apathyi. Features such number light spots their size, well shape size papillae differ apathyi, but differences do not allow distinguishing between two with certainty. On other hand, relative atrium...
