Ectoparasitism in Polystomatidae (Neodermata, Monogenea): phylogenetic position and mitogenome of Sphyranura euryceae, a parasite of the Oklahoma salamander

This paper identifies Sphyranura euryceae as a new distributional record, provides molecular data, and resolves its phylogenetic position within Polystomatidae, suggesting ectoparasitism is ancestral in the group.

Somewhere I belong: phylogeny and morphological evolution in a species-rich lineage of ectoparasitic flatworms infecting cichlid fishes

The paper uses molecular, morphological, and host data to analyze phylogeny and evolution in a lineage of flatworms infecting cichlid fishes, finding that discrete characters can mask signals but are key for species grouping.

Potassium Carbonate (K2CO3) - A cheap, non-toxic and high-density floating solution for microplastic isolation from beach sediments

This paper introduces potassium carbonate (K2CO3) as a cost-effective, non-toxic alternative for microplastic isolation from beach sediments, achieving high recovery rates for dense polymers.
