ABSTRACT Many species have been threatened over the past century because of anthropogenic disturbances. Parasites are among most vulnerable groups they rely on host organisms, many which now endangered. While studies argued and evaluated risk parasite extinction, empirical evidence is still lacking, especially from aquatic ecosystems. Here, we show highly status relict populations ectoparasitic copepod Salmincola californiensis in Japan. S. attaches to branchial cavities freshwater salmonids genus Oncorhynchus spp., only four local reported disparate regions Japan, isolated probably due range contractions after glacial periods. Through citizen‐led field surveys, found no infections half previously reported, suggesting that extinction has occurred within last 50–60 years. The upstream reaches Kiso River Naka harboured sustained populations, though population may also experienced decline. Our results indicate parasites can quickly decline a large geographic scale, at margins. When focal visible, citizen science an effective approach for identifying distributional rare aiding their conservation.

The family Unionidae is a diverse and ecologically significant group of freshwater invertebrates, playing keystone role in the energy flow nutrient cycling aquatic ecosystems. A recent taxonomic revision East Asian endemic subtribe Cristariina within has revealed its division into seven genera. As an important part Asia, China harbours exceptionally highly unique fauna mussels. However, comprehensive understanding species diversity phylogenetic relationships remains elusive due to inadequate sampling previous studies, particularly China. Here, we conducted mitogenomic analyses based on extensive across 17 provinces COI sequences GenBank were thoroughly examined, combined with obtained from this study, total 33 monophyletic groups identified. By integrating molecular data morphological characteristics, describe new genus species: Acudonta baitiaoensis gen. nov., sp. nov. , as well newly recorded for (Cristaria truncata ). Additionally, confirm that nominal Anemina euscaphys syn. fluminea globosula are junior synonyms arcaeformis through integrative taxonomy. Mitogenomic phylogeny establishes following robust framework at generic level Cristariina: ((((Sinanodonta + ) (Beringiana Pletholophus )) ((Anemina Buldowskia Amuranodonta Cristaria Besides Sinanodonta distribution other genera exhibits distinct faunal regions endemism.

Abstract Facilitative and competitive interactions among coexisting parasite species, as well alternative host produce considerable ecological evolutionary responses to host-parasite relationships. Such effects can be illuminated by impacts of non-native species on relationships in local communities.
