Unravelling the cryptic diversity of the low-dispersal land planarian Cephaloflexa bergi to elucidate diversification processes in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest Abstract. The terrestrial flatworm Cephaloflexa bergi (Tricladida: Platyhelminthes) is an excellent model for elucidating the evolutionary processes shapin

New paper out. Back to land planarians... We analyse the distribution of C. bergi in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Thanks to Marina, @riutortlab.bsky.social , Fernando, and Ricard. Paving the way to my new lab starting in few weeks and focusing on land planarians.
