- W174397378 abstract "Over 600 species of leeches have been described worldwide, which occur in freshwater, marine, estuarine, and moist-terrestrial ecosystems. Leeches are included in the Class Clitellata, Subclass Hirudinida, and Superorder Euhirudinea. Seven of the 10 families of leeches occur in freshwater environments. Approximately half of the leech species are predators feeding on invertebrates and the other half are blood-feeding parasites. Leeches are hermaphrodites (containing both male and female reproductive structures) and their typical life cycle consists of egg (which is deposited inside a cocoon), juvenile, and reproductive hermaphrodite adult. Most leeches secrete a hard, albuninotrophic cocoon, which is slipped off the cephalic region anteriorly and deposited aquatically. The cocoons of Glossiphoniidae family members are thin, membranous, contain large yolky eggs, and are brooded by the parent leeches. Freshwater leeches typically breed in the spring, lay eggs in the summer, and overwinter in the benthos or on a host. The typical life span for leeches is 1–3 years. Leeches are remarkably tolerant of polluted waters and are useful screening tools for biomonitoring of certain organic contaminants. Also, they are indirectly associated with organically rich waters, because they thrive on the abundant prey that are directly connected with organic enrichment." @default.
