ANNELIDA - HIRUDINEA

PLEASE NOTE: The following section on Hirudinea was compiled by Dr. Donald J. Klemm and Dr. William E. Moser; contact information for Don and Bill is provided at the beginning of this website (above).

Areas of leech studies reviewed in this bibliography include those for both aquatic and terrestrial species, and focus on bioassessment, ecology, embryology, environmental and industrial toxicology, evolution, medicine, morphology, parasitology, physiology, systematics, and taxonomy of leeches. This bibliography is intended to assist students and other biologists by directing them to the most current literature on leeches. It is also provided to assist the user in selecting information from the literature to help in evaluating data collected during studies of water quality, stream ecosystems, and of the effects of toxic substances and other pollutants on the ecological integrity and health of indigenous communities of macroinvertebrates, including the leeches. Researchers should send reprints of their papers to Don Klemm, Bill Moser, and Mark Wetzel to ensure that they are included accurately in future leech bibliographies. The reprints are greatly appreciated.

[A few supplemental citations contributed by Mark to those compliled by Don and Bill are followed by bracketed codes; please refer to the explanation in the introductory information provided at the beginning of this website].

NOTE: THIS SECTION ON LEECHES WILL BE ADDED WHEN TIME PERMITS.
