- 2005
The present study explores the utility of mitochondrial COI gene sequences to reveal phylogenetic and phylogeographic relationships for the entire European freshwater crayfish genus Austropotamobius.… Expand
The colonization of Europe by the freshwater crustacean Asellus aquaticus (Crustacea: Isopoda) proceeded from ancient refugia and was directed by habitat connectivity

- 3 October 2005
Recent continental‐scale phylogeographic studies have demonstrated that not all freshwater fauna colonized Europe from the classic Mediterranean peninsular refugia, and that northern or central parts… Expand
Diverse molecular data demonstrate that commercially available medicinal leeches are not Hirudo medicinalis

The European medicinal leech is one of vanishingly few animal species with direct application in modern medicine. In addition to the therapeutic potential held by many protease inhibitors purified… Expand
Phylogeography of a subterranean amphipod reveals cryptic diversity and dynamic evolution in extreme environments
- T. Lefébure, C. Douady, M. Gouy, P. Trontelj, J. Briolay, J. Gibert
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 13 April 2006
Extreme conditions in subsurface are suspected to be responsible for morphological convergences, and so to bias biodiversity assessment. Subterranean organisms are also considered as having poor… Expand
Global diversity of leeches (Hirudinea) in freshwater
- B. Šket, P. Trontelj
- Biology
- Hydrobiologia
- 2007
Leeches (Hirudinea) constitute a relatively small monophyletic group of highly specialized annelids, but may play important roles as invertebrate predators in freshwater, while others are infamous… Expand
Phylogeny of the cave shrimp Troglocaris: Evidence of a young connection between Balkans and Caucasus.
- V. Zakšek, B. Šket, P. Trontelj
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 2007
The remarkably discontinuous distribution of the cave shrimp genus Troglocaris in South France, West Balkans, and West Caucasus has long been considered a biogeographic enigma. To solve it, its… Expand
Molecular phylogeny of leeches: Congruence of nuclear and mitochondrial rDNA data sets and the origin of bloodsucking
- P. Trontelj, B. Sket, G. Steinbrueck
- Biology
- 1 September 1999
Complete 18S rDNA sequences and sequences of domain III of mitochondrial 12S rDNA were obtained to assess phylogenetic relationships among major suprageneric taxa of leeches and the possibly closely… Expand
A molecular test for cryptic diversity in ground water: how large are the ranges of macro-stygobionts?
- P. Trontelj, C. Douady, +5 authors V. Zakšek
- Biology
- 1 April 2009
SUMMARY 1. Various groundwater habitats have exceptionally high levels of endemism caused by strong hydrographical isolation and low dispersal abilities of their inhabitants. More than 10% of… Expand
