ANNELIDA (Hirudinea) – Donald J. Klemm and Bill Moser.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leech studies included here are both aquatic and terrestrial, and covered in the bibliography are bioassessment, ecology, embryology, environmental and industrial toxicology, medicine, morphology, parasitology, physiology, systematics, and taxonomy. The leech bibliography is intended to help keep students and biologists current with the leech literature. 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 in lentic and lotic habitats, and of the effects of toxic substances and other pollutants on the ecological integrity and health of indigenous populations and communities of macroinvertebrates, including the leeches.

Researchers should send reprints of their papers to both Don Klemm and Bill Moser to ensure that they are included accurately in future leech bibliographies; their contact information is presented at the beginning of this document. The reprints are greatly appreciated.
