- Title
Taxonomy, Biodiversity, and Ecology of Parasites of Aquatic Organisms: A Special Issue.
- Authors
Alves, Philippe Vieira; Luque, José Luis
- Abstract
This document is a summary of a special issue on "Taxonomy, Biodiversity, and Ecology of Parasites of Aquatic Organisms." The special issue focuses on the challenges faced by parasitologists in assessing the biodiversity of parasite species and understanding their distribution and ecological roles. The issue includes seven research articles that use integrative approaches, combining morphological, ecological, and molecular evidence, to address taxonomic and evolutionary questions related to parasitic organisms in aquatic environments. The articles cover a range of parasites, including apicomplexan parasites, acanthocephalans, monogeneans, nematodes, trematodes, and platyhelminthes. The research highlights the importance of integrative taxonomy in advancing our understanding of parasite diversity and its implications for fields such as biogeography, evolution, and ecology.
