First the Netherlands 🇳🇱, and now Sweden 🇸🇪!

Our new paper with @jean-lou-justine.bsky.social on invasive land flatworms 🪴🪱in #Sweden is out 📰

And the best part? It’s a popular science article in Swedish, making flatworm facts accessible to all! 😀

Check it out!

Les trypanosomes des raies sortent de l’ombre! Nous redescrivons T. rajae décrit il y a plus d’un siècle (approche intégrative 🔬 + 18S 🧬) et signalons sa présence pour la 1ʳᵉ fois en Méditerranée.
Aussi, T. cf. rajae chez Raja miraletus

🧬 Skate trypanosomes in the spotlight!
We redescribe T. rajae, first described over a century ago, using an integrative approach (🔬+ 18S rRNA🧬) and report it for the first time in the Mediterranean.
Also: T. cf. rajae in Raja miraletus.

J’ai eu le plaisir de donner un séminaire intitulé "Au-delà de l’étiquette : dévoiler la #systématique des vers plats à travers la morpho-anatomie, le codage génétique 🧬 et les collections muséales 🏰" à #Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet #SLU Alnarp

Mais d’abord… une photo avec la statue de #Linné !

🌍 Flatworms in the land of the midnight sun! 🇸🇪

1st record of the invasive #flatworm Obama nungara in Sweden. What does this mean for local biodiversity?

🚨 New #Monogenea species !

👉 We describe Choricotyle justinemusei n. sp. 🔬🧬, named after @jean-lou-justine.bsky.social from @isyeb.mnhn.fr
👉 We clarify the taxonomic status of related congeneric species from sparids
👉 C. pagelli & C. marionis are reinstated as valid species

🚨 New #Monogenea! Revisiting Anthocotyle merluccii taxonomy:
👉 We describe A. radkeaminorum n. sp. from the Mediterranean, with clear differences from A. merluccii and A. americanus 🧬🔬 .
👉 🧬 refutes their synonymy, & we caution against using hook morphology for species IDs
