This study examines cave-dwelling planariids in Croatia, revealing multiple genera, increased diversity, and independent cave colonization events, highlighting convergent evolution of cave traits.

Degenerate COI primers combined with histology, karyology and transcriptomics raise the known Croatian freshwater planarian species from eight to sixteen and describe Dendrocoelum pigmentatum sp. nov.

This paper presents chromosome-scale genome assemblies and regulatory element annotations for planarians, revealing conservation of regulatory regions despite rapid structural divergence.
