A taste for exotic food: Neotropical land planarians feeding on an invasive flatworm

2015-05-27

Abstract excerpt

Invasive species establish successfully in new habitats especially due to their generalist diet and release of natural enemies. However, native species may also adapt to use new elements in their ecosystem. The planarian Endeavouria septemlineata , first recorded in Hawaii, was later registered in Australia and Brazil. Recently we found it in human-disturbed areas in southern Brazil and here we investigate its in...
