Non-indigenous terrestrial flatworms (Platyhelminthes) have been recorded in thirteen European countries. They include Bipalium kewense and Dolichoplana striata that are largely restricted to hothouses may be regarded as non-invasive species. In addition there species from the southern hemisphere such invasive New Zealand flatworm Arthurdendyus triangulatus United Kingdom, Eire Faroe Islands, Australian Australoplana sanguinea alba Blue Garden Caenoplana coerulea France, Menorca Kingdom. The...
Species of the genera Bipalium and Diversibipalium, or bipaliines, are giants among land planarians (family Geoplanidae), reaching length 1 m; they also easily distinguished from other flatworms by characteristic hammer shape their head. Bipaliines, which have origin in warm parts Asia, invasive species, now widespread worldwide. However, scientific literature is very scarce about repartition these invasion European countries has not been studied.In this paper, on basis a four year survey...
The land planarian Platydemus manokwari de Beauchamp, 1963 or "New Guinea flatworm" is a highly invasive species, mainly in the Pacific area, and recently Europe (France). We report specimens from six additional countries territories: New Caledonia (including mainland two of Loyalty Islands, Lifou Maré), Wallis Futuna Singapore, Solomon Puerto Rico, Florida, USA. analysed COI gene (barcoding) these with sets primers obtained 909 bp long sequences. In addition, collected Townsville...
Obama nungara is a species of land flatworm originating from South America; the was recently described and distinguished similar species, marmorata. has invaded several countries Europe, but extent invasion not been thoroughly mapped.In this article, based on five half-year survey undertaken by citizen science, which yielded 530 records 2013 to 2018, we analysed information about Metropolitan France O. nungara. We also investigated variability newly obtained cytochrome c oxidase 1 (COI)...
The land flatworm Platydemus manokwari (Platyhelminthes, Geoplanidae) is recorded from the islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Saint Martin in Caribbean arc. Photographs records were obtained mainly citizen science ranged end 2018 to February 2021; several specimens deposited collections Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle Paris, France. Thirty but only one Martinique Martin, respectively. COI sequences 3 Guadeloupe show that they belong World haplotype also found many countries. We...
Background The land flatworm Amaga expatria Jones & Sterrer, 2005 (Geoplanidae) was described from two specimens collected in Bermuda 1963 and 1988 not recorded since. Methods On the basis of a citizen science project, we received observations field, photographs non-professionals local scientists Martinique Guadeloupe. We barcoded (COI) both islands studied histology reproductive organs one specimen. Based on Next Generation Sequencing, obtained complete mitogenome A. some information...
Abstract Alien land flatworms (family Geoplanidae) are invading many countries in the world. Some can easily be identified by their morphology and colour pattern, but some more cryptic necessitate a molecular approach. Caenoplana decolorata Mateos et al., 2020 was recently described, from specimens found Spain, as sibling species to C. coerulea Moseley, 1877. We that one specimen collected Nantes, France 2014 had 100% identity of its COI sequence with original description , thus we record...
