Regeneration in a cavernicolous triclad, Plagnolia vandeli. A comparison of the duration of regeneration in this species with an epigean species.
Ann Speleol 19(3): 493-501

Abstract / Notes

A comparative study of morphological phenomena in regeneration on three genera of fresh water planarians from different ecological habitats. Plagnolia vandeli, a true cave species; Phagocata vitta, from passages near the entrance of a cave; and Polycelis felina; an epigean species, are compared. The length of regeneration in the cave species is 3 times as long as in the cave entrance zone species and 6 times the length of the epigean species.
