“…Ligula phylogenies based on ddRAD and mtDNA data revealed 11 distinct lineages and showed a generally well-supported phylogenetic structure for the Ligula species complex. We characterized several new lineages from previously unexplored areas (CSA, EAR) or lineages that were not analysed in the global context before (L. pavlovskii, New Zealand; see Lagrue et al, 2018;Vitál et al, 2021). In addition, several differences in the phylogeny of the group were recovered compared to previous studies based on fewer loci and less material Štefka et al, 2009).…”

Studies on parasite biogeography and host spectrum provide insights into the processes driving parasite diversification. Global geographical distribution and a multi-host spectrum make the tapeworm Ligula intestinalis a promising model for studying both the vicariant and ecological modes of speciation in parasites. To understand the relative importance of host association and biogeography in the evolutionary history of this tapeworm, we analysed mtDNA and reduced-represented genomic SNP data for a total of 139 specimens collected from 18 fish-host genera across a distribution range representing 21 countries. Our results strongly supported the existence of at least 10 evolutionary lineages and estimated the deepest divergence at approximately 4.99-5.05 Mya, which is much younger than the diversification of the fish host genera and orders. Historical biogeography analyses revealed that the ancestor of the parasite diversified following multiple vicariance events and was widespread throughout the Palearctic, Afrotropical, and Nearctic between the late Miocene and early Pliocene. Cyprinoids were inferred as the ancestral hosts for the parasite. Later, from the late Pliocene to Pleistocene, new lineages emerged following a series of biogeographic dispersal and host-switching events. Although only a few of the current Ligula lineages show narrow host-specificity (to a single host genus), almost no host genera, even those that live in sympatry, overlapped between different Ligula lineages. Our analyses uncovered the impact of historical distribution shifts on host switching and the evolution of host specificity without parallel host-parasite co-speciation. Historical biogeography reconstructions also found that the parasite colonized several areas (Afrotropical and Australasian) much earlier than was suggested by only recent faunistic data.

“…The monogenean Gyrodactylus proterorhini, infecting all four goby species, was introduced into the river basins of the Vistula (Kvach et al 2014;Mierzejewska et al 2014), Rhine (Huyse et al 2015;Ondračková et al 2015aOndračková et al , 2021, Middle Danube (Ondračková et al 2009(Ondračková et al , 2021, and Middle Dnieper (Zaichenko 2015). Finally, the co-introduction of cestodes along with the monkey goby was reported for Ligula pavlovskii in Southern Hungary (Vitál et al 2021) and Proteocephalus gobiorum the Middle Dnieper (Kvach et al 2014;Zaichenko 2015).…”

Ponto–Caspian gobies are among Europe's most invasive freshwater fish species. These small freshwater and brackish water fish have spread rapidly since the end of the last century, invading the major European river systems, including the Rivers Danube, Rhine, Moselle, Meuse, Vistula, Elbe, Nemunas, Neva, Volga, while also establishing in streams, dam reservoirs, lakes, and artificial canals in 17 European countries. Two species have also successfully established in North America. The contribution of Ponto–Caspian gobies to local fish assemblages varies, but locally they are abundant or dominant components of fish assemblages in invaded ecosystems. We have considered their invasive distribution, range of occupied aquatic environments, abundance, and frequency of occurrence, and summarised their role and position in the trophic webs of invaded ecosystems. We focused on four goby species: western tubenose goby Proterorhinus semilunaris, bighead goby Ponticola kessleri, racer goby Babka gymnotrachelus and monkey goby Neogobius fluviatilis. Based on our own research and other published studies, we described the habitat preferences of these species and assessed their ecological impact on co-occurring species, both native and non-native, as predators, prey, competitors, and as hosts and vectors of parasites.
