2009. Can different spe- cies of medicinal leeches (Hirudo spp.) interbreed? Inverte- brate Biology 128: 324-331.Petrauskiene, L., Utevska, O. & Utevsky, S. (2009) Can different species of medicinal leeches (Hirudo spp.) interbreed? Invertebrate Biology, 128, 324-331....
Surface structure and size of the objects were other factors which determined substrate selection by these organisms. Leeches more readily inhabited rough surfaces and the surfaces of smaller-sized objects. The species composition of leech assemblages on analysed artificial substrates was dominated by ...
The richest type of tropical rainforest is the dipterocarp forest. It has the biggest number of plant and animal species. The thick canopy is the richest habitat for birds. The thick layer of decaying leaves on the forest floor is the richest habitat for leeches, millipedes, centipedes, and...
While vertebrates comprise of only one phylum, invertebrates make up the remaining phyla of the kingdom Animalia. As the name suggests, invertebrates lack a backbone and internal skeletons. Some of the species have an external skeletal system, the exoskeleton, that provides structural support. Curren...
What type of organism makes up most of this biomass? What are the major differences between the following two types of ecosystems? A clear cut forest and an undisturbed forest. Explain the major differences and the decline or increase in the species living in the forest. The s...
Fumigant antitermitic activity of plant essential oils and components from Ajowan ( Trachyspermum ammi ), Allspice ( Pimenta dioica ), caraway ( Carum carv... Plant essential oils from 26 plant species were tested for their insecticidal activities against the Japanese termite, Kolbe, using a fumig...

SPECIESLEECHES[Objectives] To identify the species of Hirudo from different sources. [Methods] In accordance with morphological, anatomical and molecular taxonomic characteristics, the identification conclusion was drawn. [Results] The living samples of Hirudo belong to 1 o...
LeechesThe ultrastructure of mature spermatozoa from three leech species, Haemadipsa zeylanica (Moquin-Tandon, 1826) (Haemadipsidae), Theromyzon tessulatum (M眉ller, 1774) and Placobdella costata (Fr. M眉ller, 1846) (Glossiphoniidae), was investigated by means of transmission electron ...
