  • Pikes, members of genus Esox , are widespread freshwater predators of the northern hemisphere, and important sport fish also. (biomedcentral.com)
  • So far, at least a dozen species of non-native land planarians from around the world have been identified in the Bay Area. (baynature.org)
  • Land planarian researcher Leigh Winsor, an adjunct senior research fellow of zoology and ecology at the College of Science and Engineering at James Cook University in Australia, conveniently divides non-native species of land planarians into those that just visit and those that cause problems.

  • Kenk's life was dedicated to the study of freshwater planarians, especially from Europe and the United States. (wikipedia.org)
  • Yet another land planarian, Microplana scharffi , a native of Europe, looks like a length of pink intestine with a tiny gray head. (baynature.org)
  • Several taxa were named after Roman Kenk, such as the freshwater planarian genera Kenkia and Romankenkius. (wikipedia.org)
  • By genome comparison between two planarian genera, we identified conserved non-coding elements (CNEs), which are indicative of gene regulatory elements. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Most records of these male secondary sexual characters addressed taxonomy, helping to identify and characterize species or diagnose genera, but information on their diversity, detailed morphology and possible function(s) is scarce. (bvsalud.org)
  • Dugesia japonica is a typical planarian species that is widely distributed in the East Asia. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Extensive cellular and molecular experimental methods have been developed to identify the functions of thousands of genes in this species, making this planarian a good experimental model for regeneration biology and neurobiology. (biomedcentral.com)
  • To obtain whole-genome information on this species and to study its gene regulatory networks, we extracted genomic DNA from 200 planarians derived from a laboratory-bred asexual clonal strain, and sequenced 476 Gb of data by second-generation sequencing. (biomedcentral.com)
