This chapter describes the taxonomy and systematics of the Tricladida (terrestrial Tricladida, Bipaliidae, Rhynchodemidae, Geoplanidae), general biology and ecology (physical ecology, reproduction and reproductive ecology, natural enemies), terrestrial planarians as invasive species, their feeding and prey-handling strategies (search behaviour, capture, ingestion and digestion, pseudoparasitism or symbiosis, prey preferences) and their role in biological control.
Diagnoses are given for carabids of the Migadopinae, Trechinae, and Zolinae occurring on the islands to the south of New Zealand. Two Patagonian and Falkland Islands species are included and a New Zealand species is synonymised under one of them. A new species from the Snares Islands is described, as are the larvae and pupae of some species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
