• Abstract

  With over 900 known species, land planarians, or Geoplanidae (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida), are typically forest-floor dwellers. With a low vagility and a high sensitivity to dessication, they are a good model for applied studies. Land planarians recently entered the debate on the recognition of areas of endemism, and the historical causes shaping these areas in the Atlantic forest. In re…

  Integrative taxonomic studies of Neotropical land planarians (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida), with emphasis on the Brazilian and Chilean diversity, and their areas of endemisms in the Atlantic Forest, AP.R

• Abstract

  The biota of the Atlantic forest is not evenly distributed but structured in areas of endemism as a result of their isolation. The identification of barriers is an essential component to understand the origin and evolution of organisms and propose measures for their conservation. These areas of endemism vary in number and size, depending on the taxonomic group studied and the methodology …

• Abstract

  Terrestrial flatworms (Geoplanidae, Tricladida, Platyhelminthes) are free living animals. They have a dorso-ventrally flattened body and measure a few centimetres in length. They live in humid environments on the soil, sheltered under fallen logs, rocks and litter.Approximately 170 Brazilian species are known. Most of them were described throughout the 20th century. Several species descri…

• Abstract

  Taxonomic revision of the land planarians of Geoplana (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida). Landplanarians (Platyhelminthes) are ideal organisms as a model for studies on conservation biology. This is because of their ecological requirements and poor vagility. Members of Geoplaninae Stimpson, 1957 include approximately 270 species of neotropical land planarians. Geoplana Stimpson, 1857, the type…
