The specials for today are...Cercariae! While they are a bane for the animals they infect, these free-living stages of flukes are eaten by a wide range of other organisms in the environment. This review paper provides an overview on this phenomenon. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Top: Three different types of trematode cercariae saying "We, cercariae, LOVE to infect aquatic animals!" Middle: A clam, a mosquitofish, and a damselfly nymph saying "We, aquatic animals, love to EAT cercariae!" Bottom: Three different types of trematode cercariae saying "Ye- WAIT, WHAT- "

I've just invoked Art.99 of the UN Charter - for the 1st time in my tenure as Secretary-General. Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.

Our lab is currently executing the MacroBeetle project, trying to understand how Iberian mountain beetle communities would respond to climate change, and how community reshuffling would be mediated by dispersal limitation. Check this whiteboard video with a summary our our aims:

[Nouvel article] Caché dans le brouillard : caractérisation morphologique et moléculaire de Derogenes varicus sensu stricto (Trematoda, Derogenidae) de Suède et de Norvège, et redescription de deux espèces de Derogenes peu connues bit.ly/P23-35
Résumé Derogenes varicus (Müller, 1784) est largement signalé comme un trématode avec une spécificité d'hôte exceptionnellement faible et une large distribution bipolaire. Cependant, plusieurs études récentes ont suggéré que D. varicus représente un complexe d'espèces. Cette possibilité nécessite une meilleure caractérisation (idéalement moléculaire) des spécimens de l'hôte-type (Salmo salar) et de la localité-type (au large du Danemark). Lors de l'examen des trématodes parasites des poissons des eaux scandinaves et arctiques (Suède et Norvège), nous avons trouvé des spécimens de D. varicus dans l'estomac de Merlangius merlangus au large de la Suède, et dans Gadus morhua au large de la Suède et de la Norvège ; nous les avons comparés à D. varicus de l'hôte-type, le saumon atlantique Salmo salar de Norvège, pour vérifier leur conspécificité. Les séquences nouvellement générées (ADNr 28S, ITS2 et cox1) de spécimens scandinaves compatibles avec D. varicus ... ... ...
