Abstract
Parasites of marine vertebrates are essential to understand the interaction between history, ecology and geography, as the determinants of organismal evolution and distribution. Whale lice are obligate ectoparasites of cetaceans that undergo direct development and are dependent on direct physical contact to colonize a new host whale. Currently, the family Cyamidae is composed of 32 specie…

Abstract
The crustacean superorder Peracarida presents a unique lack of larval phase and consequent low dispersion, leading to high rates of endemism. Among the most diverse orders of Peracarida are Amphipoda, Isopoda and Tanaidacea, which are also the main groups of crustaceans associated with macrophyte banks. Despite the low dispersive rate of such groups of crustaceans, recent changes in surfa…

Abstract
In the marine environment, understanding the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of marine vertebrates poses inherent challenges. Parasites play a pivotal role in elucidating the intricacies of these interactions. Among such parasites, 'whale lice', obligatory ectoparasites found on whales and dolphins, are of particular interest. These crustaceans undergo direct development and rely on …
