Shape variability and morphological discrimination of haptoral attachment structures in Urocleidoides spp. Mizelle et Price, 1964 (Monogenea: Dactylogyridae) parasitizing fish from neotropical rivers in southern Mexico

The morphology of attachment organs in Monogenea is an essential source of evidence for taxonomic assessments and understanding of ecology and evolutionary history. It has been demonstrated that geometric morphometry analysis of the haptoral attachment organs provides rich and precise information ab...
