HoBERG2 ^ 1 Department of Zoology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario M5S 3G5, Canada (e-mail: [email protected]) and 2 Biosystematics and National Parasite Collection Unit, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, BARC East No. 1 180, 10300 Baltimore Avenue, Beltsville, Maryland 20715, U.S.A. (e-mail: [email protected]). ABSTRACT: A parasitological perspective in biodiversity survey and inventory provides powerful insights into the history, structure, and maintenance of the biosphere. Parasitology contributes a powerful conceptual paradigm or landscape that links ecology, systematics, evolution, biogeography, behavior, and an array of biological phenomena from the molecular to the organismal level across the continuum of microparasites to macroparasites and their vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. Effective survey and inventory can be strategically focused or can take a synoptic approach, such as that represented by the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory. We argue that parasitology should be an integral component of any programs for biodiversity assessment on local, regional, or global scales. Taxonomists, who constitute the global taxasphere, hold the key to the development of effective surveys and inventories and eventual linkage to significant environmental and socioeconomic issues. The tax- asphere is like a triage team. The "battlefield" is the biosphere, and the "war" is human activities that degrade the biosphere. Sadly, at the point in time that we reali/,e we have documented only a tiny portion of the world's diversity, and want to document more, we find that one of the most rare and declining groups of biologists is the taxasphere. This taxonomic impediment, or critical lack of global taxonomic expertise recognized by Sys- tematics Agenda 2000 and DIVERSITAS, prevents initiation and completion of biodiversity research programs at a critical juncture, where substantial components of global diversity are threatened. The Convention for Biological Diversity mandates that we document the biosphere more fully, and as a consequence, it is necessary to revitalize the taxasphere. One foundation for development of laxonomic expertise and knowledge is the Global Taxonomy Initiative and its 3 structural components: (1) systematic inventory, (2) predictive classifications, and (3) systematic knowledge bases. We argue that inclusion of parasites is critical to the success of the Global Taxonomy Initiative. Predictive databases that integrate ecological and phylogenetic knowledge from the study of parasites are synergistic, adding substantially greater ecological, historical, and biogeographic context for the study of the biosphere than that derived from data on free-living organisms alone.

Spiridonov Centre of Parasitology, A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution, Russian Academy of Sciences, Leninskii Prospect 33, 119071, Moscow, Russia e-mail: [email protected] Accepted for publication 28 June 2018 Summary. Angiostoma kimmeriense (= A. kimmeriensis) Korol & Spiridonov, 1991 was re-isolated from the snail Oxyhilus sp. in the West Caucasus (Adygea Republic) and characterised morphologically and molecularly. The morphology of the genus Angiostoma Dujardin, 1845 was discussed and vertebrate- associated species suggested to be considered as species insertae sedis based on the head end structure (3 vs 6 lips). Phylogenetic analysis based on partial sequences of three RNA domains (D2-D3 segment of LSU rDNA and ITS rDNA) did not resolve the relationships of A. kimmeriense, as the most similar sequences of these loci were found between members of another gastropod associated genus, Phasmarhabditis Andrássy, 1976. However, such biological traits of A. kimmeriense as its large size, limited number of parasites within the host and the site of infection, point to a parasitic rather than pathogenic/necromenic way of life typical for Phasmarhabditis. Key words: description, D2-D3 LSU sequences, ITS RNA sequences, Mollusca, morphology, morphometrics, phylogeny, taxonomy. The family Angiostomatidae comprises two and 2014 did not reveal the presence of the nematode genera, Angiostoma Dujardin, 1845 with its 18 species, in this or other gastropods examined (Vorobjeva et al., and monotypic Aulacnema Pham Van Luc, Spiridonov 2008; Ivanova et al., 2013).

  • Parasites of Coral Reef Fish: How Much Do We Know? with a Bibliography of Fish Parasites in New Caledonia
    Belg. J. Zool., 140 (Suppl.): 155-190 July 2010 Parasites of coral reef fish: how much do we know? With a bibliography of fish parasites in New Caledonia Jean-Lou Justine (1) UMR 7138 Systématique, Adaptation, Évolution, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, 57, rue Cuvier, F-75321 Paris Cedex 05, France (2) Aquarium des lagons, B.P. 8185, 98807 Nouméa, Nouvelle-Calédonie Corresponding author: Jean-Lou Justine; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. A compilation of 107 references dealing with fish parasites in New Caledonia permitted the production of a parasite-host list and a host-parasite list. The lists include Turbellaria, Monopisthocotylea, Polyopisthocotylea, Digenea, Cestoda, Nematoda, Copepoda, Isopoda, Acanthocephala and Hirudinea, with 580 host-parasite combinations, corresponding with more than 370 species of parasites. Protozoa are not included. Platyhelminthes are the major group, with 239 species, including 98 monopisthocotylean monogeneans and 105 digeneans. Copepods include 61 records, and nematodes include 41 records. The list of fish recorded with parasites includes 195 species, in which most (ca. 170 species) are coral reef associated, the rest being a few deep-sea, pelagic or freshwater fishes. The serranids, lethrinids and lutjanids are the most commonly represented fish families. Although a list of published records does not provide a reliable estimate of biodiversity because of the important bias in publications being mainly in the domain of interest of the authors, it provides a basis to compare parasite biodiversity with other localities, and especially with other coral reefs. The present list is probably the most complete published account of parasite biodiversity of coral reef fishes.

Vladychenskaya Belozersky Institute of Physicochemical Biology, Moscow State University, Moscow, 119992 Russia e-mail: [email protected] Received December 29, 2004 Abstract—Phylogenetic relationships within the group of molting protostomes were reconstructed by compar- ing the sets of 18S and 28S rRNA gene sequences considered either separately or in combination. The reliability of reconstructions was estimated from the bootstrap indices for major phylogenetic tree nodes and from the degree of congruence of phylogenetic trees obtained by different methods. By either criterion, the phylogenetic trees reconstructed on the basis of both 18 and 28S rRNA gene sequences were better than those based on the 18S or 28S sequences alone. The results of reconstruction are consistent with the phylogenetic hypothesis clas- sifying protostomes into two major clades: molting Ecdysozoa (Priapulida + Kinorhyncha, Nematoda + Nema- tomorpha, Onychophora + Tardigrada, Myriapoda + Chelicerata, and Crustacea + Hexapoda) and nonmolting Lophotrochozoa (Plathelminthes, Nemertini, Annelida, Mollusca, Echiura, and Sipuncula). Nematomorphs (Nematomorpha) do not belong to the clade Cephalorhyncha (Priapulida + Kinorhyncha). It is concluded that combined data on the 18S and 28S rRNA gene sequences provide a more reliable basis for phylogenetic infer- ences.

  • The Ecology and Emergence of Diseases in Fresh Waters
    Freshwater Biology (2011) 56, 638–657 doi:10.1111/j.1365-2427.2010.02546.x The ecology and emergence of diseases in fresh waters PIETER T. J. JOHNSON AND SARA H. PAULL Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO, U.S.A. SUMMARY 1. Freshwater ecosystems, including ponds, lakes, streams and rivers, represent an interaction nexus between environmental change and a wide variety of infectious diseases, including human malaria, salmonid whirling disease, amphibian chytridiomycosis, crayfish plague and many others. However, few studies have explicitly examined patterns of disease in fresh waters and how they are changing over time. 2. Freshwater environments can function as transmission foci for pathogens because of (i) the importance of fresh water for organism survival, (ii) the aquatic life histories of many vectors and intermediate hosts, (iii) the concentrated aggregations of species – both freshwater and terrestrial – in and around freshwater habitats and (iv) the highly altered condition of freshwater ecosystems, which can affect species interactions and disease pathology. 3. To determine whether water-related diseases in wildlife are increasing, we used generalised additive models to quantitatively assess trends in the scientific literature (1970–2009) for major freshwater groups, including amphibians, molluscs, crayfishes, fishes, mammals, reptiles and birds. We further examined what types of pathogens were primarily responsible for observed patterns and whether recurrent groups or transmission modes could be identified. 4. After correcting for research effort and temporal autocorrelation, we find that reports of disease varied over time and across freshwater taxa, with significant increases in amphibians, fishes and crayfishes, a significant decrease in molluscs, and no significant change in freshwater reptiles, birds or mammals.

The aim of this study was to identify intestinal parasites from wild rodents in Santo Amaro da Imperatriz and Santa Catariana Island, and to compare the richness and composition of the gastrointestinal parasite community of both areas. Rodents were captured with live traps, and feces were screened using the sedimentation method and optical microscopy. The following species of rodents were captured in the two areas: Akodon montensis, Euryoryzomys russatus, Oligoryzomys nigripes and Nectomys squamipes. In Santo Amaro da Impetratriz, prevalent parasites were: A. montensis (51%), E. russatus (62%), O. nigripes (53%) and N. squamipes (20%). From the Island of Santa Catarina the rodent prevalence rates were: A. montensis (43%), E. russatus (59%), O. nigripes (30%) and N. squamipes (33%) and the collected parasites were: Hymenolepis sp., Longistriata sp., Strongyloides sp., Hassalstrongylus sp., Syphacia sp., Trichomonas sp., Ancylostomidae, Trichuridae, Oxyuridae and Eucoccidiorida.

The reintroduction of dingoes into sheep-grazing areas south-east of the dingo barrier fence has been suggested as a mechanism to suppress fox and feral-cat impacts. Using the Western Division of New South Wales as a case study, Dickman et al. (2009) recently assessed the risk of fox and cat predation to extant threatened species and concluded that reintroducing dingoes into the area would have positive effects for most of the threatened vertebrates there, aiding their recovery through trophic cascade effects. However, they did not formally assess the risk of dingo predation to the same threatened species. Aims. To assess the risk of dingo predation to the extant and locally extinct threatened vertebrates of western New South Wales using methods amenable to comparison with Dickman et al. (2009). Methods. The predation-risk assessment method used in Dickman et al. (2009) for foxes and cats was applied here to dingoes, with minor modification to accommodate the dietary differences of dingoes. This method is based on six independent biological attributes, primarily reflective of potential vulnerability characteristics of the prey.
