The citations listed in this website were included in the annelid section of an extensive annual bibliography published in September 2005 by the North American Benthological Society in ''Current and Selected Bibliographies on Benthic Biology - 2004.'' That bibliography is available to current members of the Society [dues paid on an annual basis; membership information is available via the Society's website, above]. The annelid section of that complete bibliography is provided via this website for all of our annelidically-inclined colleagues worldwide for their professional [non-commercial] use to assist in furthering their scientific endeavors.

Abbreviations: A = Aphanoneura / Aeolosomatida; Ac = Acanthobdellae / Acathobdellida; B = Branchiobdellida; bib = bibliography; C = cytology; D = description; E = ecology; F = faunistic, or distributional information; G = general; H = Hirudinea; K = key provided; M = methods, such as analysis, collection, or processing information; O = Oligochaeta; P = Polychaeta; Ph = physiology; R = revision; Rvw = review; TMS = taxonomy, morphology, and / or systematics; X = toxicology; xO = interesting paper, but oligochaetes not discussed.

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.
