Essay

The thesis deals with the phylogeography, speciation and macroevolution in leeches. Intraspecific phylogenetic structure and rates of glacial recolonization of Europe depend on the ability of species to spread on land. The role of environmental, historical and anthropogenic factors in shaping ranges is revealed. The role of reinforcement in speciation is shown. Leech species is more monotypic than previously thought. Characters of the nearest common ancestor of leeches were reconstructed.
