Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The terrestrial ribbon worm Geonemertes pelaensis Semper, 1863 (phylum Nemertea) is widely reported from tropical regions worldwide. In Japan, this species has been recorded from subtropical islands including the Ogasawara Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site south of Tokyo recognized for its unique biodiversity, where it has been implicated in the decline of native soil invertebrates. Here, we...
