Invasive South African populations of the freshwater snail Tarebia granifera belong to a single globally distributed lineage within a species complex

Abstract The Asian thiarid snail Tarebia granifera is a highly successful invasive species and has had substantial impacts in South African freshwater ecosystems, often out competing and replacing native snail populations. However, there is limited understanding of the molecular...

Molecular investigation of Campula oblonga (Cobbold, 1858) reveals complex evolutionary history of parasites within the family Brachycladiidae (Odhner, 1905), parasites of wild cetaceans.

Speciation in parasites of marine mammals represents an important yet relatively understudied facet of marine research.Evolutionary and ecological interactions between the trematode family Brachycladiidae and their cetacean definitive hosts have previously been investigated at fa...
