Peculiarities of Genetic Migrations of Amphictic and Clonal Spined Loaches (Cypriniformes, Cobitidae, Cobitis elongatoides (superspecies taenia)) in the River Systems of Ukraine

Abstract The diploid-polyploid complex of European spined loaches of the genus Cobitis is a traditional model for studying genetic migrations. The river systems of Ukraine, where two genetically and geographically polar groups of populations are located, provide optimal condition...

Helminths of the common crane (Grus grus) from the South of Ukraine with new morphological and molecular data for Gruitaenia latissima (Cestoda, Dilepididae).

This study provides the first investigation of the helminth fauna of the common crane (Grus grus) in Ukraine. Fifty cranes were collected in southern Ukraine in February and March 2021 following a mass poisoning event caused by rodenticide brodifacoum. Eleven helminth taxa were i...
